Rain Rugs

It is wet and sweaty: You have already put a Cooler Rug sweat rug on it and the undercoat is still not dry? This can often be due to high humidity, which makes it difficult for the sweat to evaporate. Of course, sometimes you simply don't have enough time to let the horse sweat off for more than 15 minutes after riding the horse.

In this case, the sweaty horse must wear a paddock blanket to finish sweating. Otherwise it can cool out cool down due to draughts, cold or rain and catch a cold or become tense. Make sure that your paddock blanket is really suitable for sweating off.

- Large shearing: Does it have a clipping for particularly heavy sweating horsesthat also affects the belly or even a full shearing? Then it must be covered in the cold or wet.

- During the coat change/thin coat due to continuous rain: Is your horse's coat very thin and does it tend to freeze? Then use a blanket as a precaution here too.

- In training: Whether a horse freezes in heavy rain is something else again than when it has to give full performance in training after a cold rainy night. Many horses are more tense than usual afterwards. We are simply not fans of riding horses with cold backs. Then you spend the riding session loosening the horse up until it runs like it does on a normal day.

Please only put a saddle pad on the cold back that does not get clammy when wet. The best is a Saddle Pad made of wool, which dries the back while riding. On such days, almost every horse is more tense than usual and has less pleasure in being ridden. Then it's better to do ground work or put a blanket the horse as a precaution. You don't have to ride every day by hook or crook.
