Shires Highlander Plus 200 Standard Neck Turnout Blanket - 200g Medium Weight

Give your horse the ultimate defense against the elements without sacrificing the freedom they need to move and play.

The Highlander Plus 200 Standard Neck combines rugged 1200 Denier durability with medium-weight warmth, ensuring your equine partner stays dry, comfortable, and rub-free all season long.

Engineered by Shires for the horse that plays hard, this turnout rug features a high-strength ShireTex® ripstop outer shell that is as tough as it is breathable. With taped seams and a 3000mm waterproof rating, it provides a reliable barrier against heavy rain and snow, while the integrated WarmaRug system allows you to customize the warmth level by adding liners as the temperature drops, making it the most versatile base layer in your tack room.

Key Features & Specifications:

• 1200 Denier ShireTex® Outer: High-strength ripstop fabric specifically designed to resist tears from field play and withstand the rigors of rough weather.
• 200g Polyfill Insulation: The ideal "medium-weight" fill for cold transitions (approx. 20°F–40°F), providing essential warmth without the risk of overheating.
• Deep Shoulder Gussets: Oversized gussets offer a more generous fit for broad-chested horses, significantly increasing mobility and preventing common shoulder rubs.
• WarmaRug Compatibility: Features internal attachment points that allow you to add 100g or 200g liners, transforming this rug into a versatile all-season protection system.
• 3000mm Waterproof Rating: Fully waterproof construction with taped seams ensures your horse stays bone-dry even during torrential downpours and heavy snow.
• Adjustable Clip Chest Straps: Designed for "fitting speed" and daily convenience, allowing for quick on-and-off while maintaining a secure, customized fit.
• Integrated Cross Surcingles: High-quality surcingles and a fillet strap keep the rug centered and stable, even on high-energy horses living outdoors.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I select the correct size for my horse?
A: To find the perfect fit, measure from the center of the chest to the furthest point of the rump. The Highlander Plus range runs true to size but features a more generous cut in the chest and shoulders, making it the premier choice for broader horses or those prone to wither pressure.

Q: Is this rug durable enough for a horse that is "hard" on their blankets?
A: Yes. The 1200 Denier ShireTex® ripstop outer is specifically engineered for high-energy horses in turnout environments, offering superior resistance against snags and tears compared to standard turnout rugs.
