Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I know if a 200g rug is right for my horse?
A: A 200g fill is considered a "medium weight" and is generally suitable for most horses when temperatures stay between 30°F and 50°F. It is an excellent choice for horses that are clipped or those that need a bit more than a lite-weight sheet during chilly nights.

Q: Is the 600 Denier fabric durable?
A: Yes, the 600D ShireTex® fabric is a durable, standard-weight material designed for daily turnout. While it is built to resist tears and withstand regular use, horses that are exceptionally "hard" on their blankets may require a higher denier rating for extreme durability.

Q: How does the sizing run for Shires rugs?
A: Shires rugs typically fit true to size. To find the best fit, measure from the center of the chest to the furthest point of the rump. The adjustable chest straps and cross surcingles allow for fine-tuning to accommodate various horse shapes.
