It is true that in their
Natural habitat, horses do just fine without such amenities as rugs. But,
we must note that horses working in horse riding do not possess the same
functioning conditions since the horses living in their natural habitat. First
of all, horses training under the saddle are often shaven, which damages
their natural protective layer against low temperatures. Most time when it\'s
cold outdoors, these horses spend indoors, where they are not subject to reduced temperatures. Even the matter of a different diet is crucial here. That is precisely why we cannot expect them to possess the immunity their free brothers possess. While
altering the horses\' customs and environment, we will need to provide them with
protection against the negative effects of e.g. weather. For this very reason we
have various kinds of carpeting. Which type would be useful to your horse and
if to use it? We will attempt to describe that.

In stores you can come across these kinds of rugs:

1. Training -- this kind of rug is set on along with a
   saddle. It will be ideal for colder days. We should mention that
   training with them must not be too exhausting, because your horse could have trouble with losing heat excess from your system.
2. Dry -- normally made from fleece or some other
   substance with moisture-absorbing properties. This type of rugs is usually
   used after instruction so as to wash the horse. In stores, you can locate them as
   fleece carpeting. They
   should protect the horse from cooling too much, but at the same time they
   do not block air circulation, so the horse does not sweat. To be used in stalls. This will protect
   your horse against the wind and rain. Made of substances easy to clean.
3. Rain -- it safeguards your horse\'s coat from becoming wet during rain. Mostly they are made to be as watertight as possible.
4. Fly -- utilized to protect the horse from insects.
   Usually made from mesh material. This type of a rug is super useful in summer time, in which horses are particularly susceptible to insects\' bites of all
   sorts.
5. Winter --
   carpets using cushioning. Usually it\'s possible to pick from a couple
   of thickness of cushioning for one version.
6. Transport -- to be utilized to protect the horse
   during transport.

Another thing is to adjust the
Proper length. Namely, how to select appropriate dimensions for your own horse. Particular manufacturers have different size markers. You can locate letter sizes (S, M, L etc.),
centimeters, or inches. There is a principle where for units of duration is the length
of the rug on the horse\'s back. This value is essential for choosing the proper size. Even if you have an S, M, or L dimensions, it refers to the rug\'s length on the
horse\'s back. E.g. a well-known producer of equestrian equipment Eskadron claims that S = 125 cm, M = 135 cm, L = 145 cm, etc.. Of course, it\'s best when you\'re able to take a look at a chart when all of the rug\'s dimensions are mentioned. Then you
can be sure that a specified size will suit your horse correctly.

As you can
See, by using proper rug you can help your horse in managing unpleasant
Weather, insects, or protect him during transport. Also, you should not overdo
The whole carpet item. If you use them if they are not required, you can disturb
Your horse\'s natural thermal self-regulation. But you need to remember
That without a rug once the weather is poor, you undermine your horse e.g. into a
Higher risk of catching a cold.
