Shires Tempest Plus 100 Stable Rug - 100g Lightweight Fill Breathable Equestrian Horse Blanket
Product description
Give your horse the ultimate blend of rugged protection and temperature-controlled comfort with a stable rug designed to withstand even the most active "rug wreckers." The Tempest Plus 100 offers superior durability and year-round versatility, ensuring your horse stays cozy from the first autumn chill through the deepest winter freeze.
Crafted for the discerning equestrian who demands more than the standard, the Shires Tempest Plus 100 Stable Rug features a significantly more robust construction than the "Original" line. Its high-strength ripstop outer fabric is engineered to resist tears and snags against stable fixtures, providing a reliable barrier for horses prone to damaging their gear. Beyond its tough exterior, this 100g rug serves as a highly adaptable base layer; thanks to its WarmaRug compatibility, you can easily attach liners to customize the warmth level, making it the only stable rug you'll need for multiple seasons.
Key Features & Specifications:
- Durable Ripstop Outer: Engineered with the "Plus" designation for enhanced fabric strength, specifically designed to resist tears and withstand destructive stable behavior.
- 100g Polyfill: Provides the perfect light-to-medium weight insulation for autumn and spring or serves as a breathable base layer during colder months.
- WarmaRug Compatibility: Features integrated internal loops that allow for the quick attachment of 100g or 200g liners, transforming it into a heavyweight winter rug.
- Generous Depth and Length: Designed with a superior cut that provides significantly better coverage under the belly and around the hindquarters than cheaper alternatives.
- Center-to-Buttock Sizing: Optimized for a precision fit when measured from the center of the chest to the furthest point of the buttocks to ensure maximum comfort.
- Breathable Stable Fabric: Promotes excellent moisture management and airflow, keeping your horse comfortable and dry during extended periods of indoor wear.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q: Is this rug tough enough for a horse that usually destroys stable rugs?
A: Absolutely. The "Plus" designation signifies a much more robust construction than standard rugs, featuring a high-strength ripstop outer specifically designed to resist the snags and tears caused by "rug wreckers."
Q: How do I ensure I get the right fit for my horse?
A: To take advantage of this rug's generous depth and length, follow the specific sizing rule: measure from the center of the chest, along the side of the body, to the furthest point of the buttocks.
Q: Can I use this rug in the middle of a harsh winter?
A: Yes! While it is a 100g rug on its own, its WarmaRug compatibility allows you to attach internal liners (100g or 200g), allowing it to transition from a lightweight sheet into a heavyweight winter rug without needing to buy a separate top layer.
