Rain Rugs for Horses – Protect Your Horse with Petster
At Petster you will find rain rugs that truly deliver on their promise – carefully selected to give your horse the best possible protection against rain, wind and cold.
Our wide range includes everything from unlined rain sheets to models with half-neck or full-neck covers, and clever liner systems that make it easy to adjust the rug to suit the weather and conditions.
Why a rain rug for horses?
When the weather turns and the rain pours down, it can be difficult for the horse to stay warm and dry, especially if it is clipped, older or sensitive. A rain rug with a high waterproof rating (at least 3000 mm) protects against wet and cold while still breathing and allowing moisture to ventilate away from the horse's body.
Rain rugs serve many purposes
A rain rug is also perfect to put over a tacked-up horse on the way to the arena, so that both horse and equipment remain dry. Many people choose to use an unlined rain sheet together with liners of different thicknesses – a smart solution that makes it easy to adjust warmth to suit the temperature.
Rugs are available with different amounts of fill and different waterproof ratings. If your horse lives out a lot we recommend a rug with at least a 3000 mm waterproof rating and a hard-wearing outer shell.
Choose the right model – with or without neck cover
- Full neck rug: Provides maximum protection against rain and wind – ideal for clipped or sensitive horses.
- Half neck: Reduces the risk of rubbing at the withers and prevents water from running in.
- Detachable neck: Provides flexibility when the weather changes.
- Unlined rain sheet: Suitable for milder weather, while filled options are excellent for cooler days.
How to choose the right size and fit
Measure the horse's back from the withers to the base of the tail and choose the nearest size. A rug should sit securely but comfortably over the shoulder, without restricting movement or causing rubbing.
