Choosing the WeatherBeeta Rug that most suits your horse’s needs is made easy with this handy buying guide.

When it comes to horse rugs, choosing the style that is best for your horse can be tricky. In order to help you, WeatherBeeta have created their rugs with ‘horse types’ in mind, meaning their collection is highly innovative. Solving all the problems you might face, WeatherBeeta focus on ‘Rug Friendly Horses’, ‘Houdini Horses’ and ‘Rug Wreckers’. Which one best describes your horse?
The WeatherBeeta Rug collection
WeatherBeeta’s rugs are made up of four segments. Each offering various design features to suit different needs – ComFiTec Ultra, ComFiTec Premier, ComFiTec Plus and ComFiTec. Furthermore, within each segment you can find different styles such as turnout rugs, stable rugs, fleece rugs and more. In order to help you choose, this handy chart explains which rugs to consider based on whether your horse is a ‘Friendly’, ‘Houdini’ or ‘Wrecker’.

Rugs for ‘Friendly’ horses
If you have what WeatherBeeta see as a ‘Friendly’ horse, consider yourself lucky! In this case, you will most likely never have experienced a brand new rug ripped to shreds after just a few days. Even though it’s still important that your horse is protected, you may not need a high denier. This usually comes with a cheaper price tag. Here’s our recommendations:
- WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Classic Combo Lite Turnout Rug
- WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Classic Combo Medium/Lite Turnout Rug
- WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Essential Combo Heavy Turnout Rug
Rugs for ‘Houdini’ horses
Is your horse always managing to break free from his rug, no matter what you try? It sounds like you have a Houdini on your hands! Therefore, it’s advantageous for you to choose a rug with features designed to tackle this problem. Check out some recommendations here:
