Turnout Rugs That Fit Just Right: Shires Tempest & Highlander
The Shires Tempest and Highlander turnout rugs are both built for UK weather, but offer different fits and levels of durability to suit your horse’s needs.
Tempest rugs feature a 600 denier outer and are available in various weights, making them ideal for daily turnout across all seasons. Their standard fit suits most horses and makes layering simple when conditions change.
Highlander rugs, including the Highlander Plus, are designed with a roomier fit for broader horses and a tough 1200 denier fabric – perfect for natives, cobs, and horses that are hard on their rugs. They also come in a full range of weights for year-round protection.
