"I live in a hot climate, and I want to keep my horse cool and free of biting insects"

Our best selling rug is the summer mesh combo made from polyester mesh it keeps the horse cool on those hot summer days and prevents insects biting the horse.
Just some of the great colours
available in our 100% cotton
fabrics.  100% cotton Equestrian Fabric "nice and cool".
"I want a Rug set suitable for Showing"

A nice rug set is the 100% pure cotton fabrics, they come in a range of colours and tartan checks for that unique show look.
If you do not need the warmth of a lined canvas rug then we suggest an unlined canvas rug, these can be placed over day rugs for extra
warmth on those chilly windy days or to prevent the horse's day rugs from getting wet.

WATERPROOFING
Waterproof/breathable rugs are chemically treated to prevent water passing through the fibres whilst allowing air to pass through. The term waterproof refers to the shell fabric the rug is constructed of.
 

 
 SHOWERPROOF
Showerproof rugs are designed to withstand moderate rain for approximately 6 to 8 hours. Heavy and prolonged rain may seep through the pores of a showerproof rug.
 

"I only want to rug my turned out horse in Winter to keep him warm and dry"
 
If your horse does not have a stable or a run in shed to escape from the weather elements, and you would like to keep him warm and toasty on those cold winter nights then a canvas wool lined blanket will do the job.
  • Warm wool lining.
  • Proofed ripstop canvas.
  • Canvas Breathes.
  • Australian made Canvas "Cavallino Dale."
"I want a day rug suitable for Autumn/Spring wear" 
The 100% polyester or the summer breeze fabric would be suitable, the summer breeze would be cooler in the warmer months as it is a blend of polyester and cotton. Cotton is one of the coolest fabrics, helps reduce that dreaded static and has high breathability properties. Polyester ensures your rug dries quickly should your horse get caught in a rain shower.
Do you sell a Stable Rug?
We have a 80%wool fabric rug made from recycled Australian wool hoisery. It comes in a wide variety of colours, It is suitable for stable wear, Winter show wear and also can be used as an under rug.
Do you have day rugs other than the traditional white or black/blue check ripstop rugs?
For a different look we have the 100% polyester rugs in fashion colours they come in a white background with either lime/green and rose check, green and gold, purple and rose, orange and teal and navy and blue. They can be trimmed with matching binding eg. the lime green and rose check fabric can be trimmed with either lime green or rose binding. Use them as  a great looking day rug or a unique show rug.

 

 
I have an unlined canvas rug and I would like a blanket rug to place under it in Winter?
A wool underblanket may be what you are looking for, they are designed to be placed under any rug where extra warmth is required. Made from the same fabric as our wool stable rugs.  read more..

Aquaproof Summer Breeze
Do you have a day rug that is showeproof?
The Aquaproof Summer Breeze is a blend of polyester and cotton with a proofed coating.
This rug is great for changeable weather, particularly variable spring weather where flexible protection is a must.

Do I need a Combo or Seperates?
Do you like to put your rug on your horse sometimes and leave off his Hood or Neck Rug? if you answered yes to this question then seperate rug and hood or rug and neck rugs are for you. If you like the convenience of your horse always having his hood or neck rug on and attached to his rug, then we would suggest a Combo.

Here are just some of our customers latest requests, extra satin in hoods, belly bands fitted to rugs, sircingles attached, Tailbags fully lined with satin, lined faces of hoods ect.
