Layering systems offer practical temperature control throughout the year. Under rugs and liners are designed to sit securely beneath a main rug, adding insulation without the need to purchase multiple heavyweight rugs.

Benefits include:

  • Adjustable warmth levels

  • Lightweight construction

  • Secure attachment systems

Liners are available in various fill weights, allowing owners to customise warmth based on season and workload. They are particularly useful during transitional weather when temperatures fluctuate.

A well-fitted liner should sit smoothly beneath the outer rug, avoiding pressure points or slipping.

Frequently Asked Questions

Under Rugs FAQs

What is an under rug used for?

An under rug is designed to sit beneath a turnout or stable rug to add extra warmth without the need to buy a heavier outer rug. It gives you a simple way to increase insulation as temperatures drop, making it easier to manage your horseā€™s comfort through changing weather.

When should I use an under rug for my horse?

Under rugs are ideal during colder spells, overnight stabling, or whenever your horse needs a little more warmth than their current rug provides. They are especially useful in the UK, where temperatures can change quickly, as they let you adapt your horseā€™s rugging without completely changing the top rug.

Can under rugs be used with both stable rugs and turnout rugs?

Many under rugs are made to work with both stable rugs and turnout rugs, provided the outer rug has enough room for layering and suitable attachment points. For the best fit and comfort, check that the combination does not restrict movement or create pressure points, and always follow the sizing guidance for both rugs.

How do I choose the right under rug?

Choose an under rug based on your horseā€™s clipping, age, condition, workload, and the warmth of the outer rug it will sit under. Lightweight liners are a popular choice for flexible layering, while a well-matched size and secure fastening system help keep the rug in place and make daily rug changes quicker and easier.
