Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I am ordering the correct size for my horse?
A: Shires rugs follow a center-to-center sizing rule. To get the perfect fit, measure from the center of the horse's chest, around the widest part of the shoulder, to the furthest point of the buttock or the center of the tail.

Q: Is this rug warm enough for the winter months?
A: While the Highlander Plus Lite is a 0g sheet, its primary advantage is versatility. Thanks to the WarmaRug system, you can easily add liners to increase the weight to 100g or 200g, making it a true year-round solution.

Q: Will the 1200D fabric hold up if my horse is in a group turnout?
A: Yes! The 1200 denier ShireTex® ripstop is specifically designed for durability and is much tougher than standard turnout materials, offering excellent protection against nicks and tears from other horses.
