Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Can this rug be used for turnout in the field?
A: No, the Tempest Plus Stable Rug is designed strictly for indoor stabling. While it is highly breathable to keep your horse comfortable in the barn, it is not waterproof and should not be used in wet weather or outdoor environments.

Q: How do I ensure I select the correct size for my horse?
A: Measure from the center of the chest, across the widest part of the shoulder, to the point of the buttock. Shires sizing is precise—for instance, a 66-inch measurement typically fits a size 5’6”—and you should always ensure the cross-surcingles sit exactly one hand’s width below the belly for maximum safety.
