A stable rug is a type of 'blanket' that you can add to a horse, mainly to keep it warm.

There are many different reasons to wear a stable rug.

In Winter time:-

  • if it had a fine coat or a thick coat and was in the stable

In Summer time:-

  • if it had a fine coat and was in a stable.

Stable rugs are often used as jackets for horses in the evenings. They are mostly used in the colder months to help keep the horses warm after clipping.
