Horse And Hound

We’re all shopping a bit more frugally this year and trying to save money on horse kit, but when it comes to rugging your horse you want to buy the best you can afford – either that or your horse is a known rug trasher so you’re looking for the best cheap horse rugs to last one season. When buying a turnout rug on a budget, you’ll probably have to forgo the most technical and time-saving features, such as a fillet strap in place of an adjustable, elasticated or detachable leg straps. You may also be limited to cheaper fixings and fabrics, such as those with lower denier ratings. But if these features aren’t on your list of essentials, you could find yourself a bargain.

We’ve rounded up a selection of the best turnout rugs to choose from if you’re on a budget. Some have RRPs at the lower end of the market, while others are more pricey but are the entry level range for a particular brand. Many brands, such as WeatherBeeta, Shires and Derby House, have multiple ranges aimed at different price points – for every brand that does this we’ve included their most budget-friendly option. This can be really helpful if you know a particular brand is the perfect shape for your horse.

If you look after it by repairing, washing and reproofing when required, a cheaper rug can last your horse years.

If you’re looking for deals on the best turnout rugs at the higher end of the market, try checking the clearance sales at viovet.co.uk, equus.co.uk, rideawaystore.com or naylors.com
