Kentucky Horsewear offers a range of high-quality horse rugs, each designed with unique features for specific situations. In this article, we will take a close look at four rugs from this brand that are ideal for use in the summer. Below, we discuss their unique features and differences, so you know which rug is best suited for your horse.
Turnout Rug All Weather Waterproof Comfort
If you're looking for a rug for rainy days, the Turnout Rug All Weather is the ideal choice due to its waterproof properties. The anatomical shape ensures a perfect fit without pressure points and lies comfortably on any horse. The comfort buckle and three belly straps are also specially designed for optimal comfort and to avoid pressure spots. Additionally, the fabric of this rug is extremely strong (1200D), which prolongs its lifespan.
Furthermore, the rug has a reflective design for better visibility in the dark. The lack of a back seam also ensures that your horse stays warm and dry in all types of weather. Even during stormy weather, this prevents leakage in the rug.
The inside of the rug is made from artificial rabbit fur. This improves heat retention and ensures that the rug is breathable. The Turnout Rug All Weather Waterproof Comfort rug is, as the name suggests, ideal for various weather conditions. It is also easy to maintain as it can be washed at 30° without losing its waterproof properties.
Eczema Rug
For horses that suffer from (summer) eczema or have very sensitive skin, this Eczema Rug is specially designed. The strong, breathable, and lightweight fabric offers full protection against flies and insects and dries quickly, which enhances the comfort of the horse. The fabric also prevents the horse from sweating, thus avoiding itching and the risk of bacterial and fungal growth.
The extra-long neck, which is fastened over the ears, and the long tail flap ensure that your horse is fully protected. The neck piece is also equipped with five Velcro closures, making it not easily come loose on its own.
Mesh Fly Rug
The Mesh Fly Rug, specially made for horses with sensitive skin, offers extra protection against flies in the stable. This advanced rug is lightweight and provides unprecedented protection due to the use of highly breathable material. The soft polyester inner lining prevents chafing, and thanks to the anatomical shape, the rug stays well in place.
The material of the rug is exceptionally light and breathable, keeping your horse cool even on hot days. A unique feature of this rug is the option to embroider it with your own logo. Besides usage in the stable, the rug is also very suitable to wear during transport.
Fly Rug Classic
Another must-have for the summer is the Mesh Fly Rug Classic. Made of mesh fabric, this rug protects your horse from all kinds of insects without creating unnecessary heat on warm days. The light color reflects the sun and does not absorb heat, helping to keep your horse cool.
The rug has a removable tail strap and an extra-long tail flap. The long tail flap is made of soft polyester fabric, just like the entire rug, to prevent chafing. Finally, the neck of the rug is reinforced with a thicker and stronger band, preventing it from sliding down the neck.
Conclusion
Each Kentucky rug has its unique features designed for the specific needs of your horse. Whether you're looking for the perfect rug for rainy days, eczema protection, stable protection, or a classic fly rug for the summer, Kentucky has it all!
