Medium Weight Turnout Rugs – Ideal Protection for Unpredictable UK Weather

Medium weight turnout rugs are a must-have for UK horse owners, offering dependable warmth and protection when it’s too cold for a lightweight rug but not quite time for a heavy one. Typically filled with around 200g of insulation, these rugs are perfect for the shoulder seasons – especially autumn and spring – when temperatures fluctuate and rainfall is common.

Why Choose a Medium Weight Turnout Rug?

With an average fill of 200g, a medium turnout rug delivers balanced insulation that keeps your horse warm without overheating. These rugs are especially useful for clipped horses, older horses, or those with a finer build who feel the cold more easily.

Built to handle wet and windy conditions, 200g turnout rugs are made from waterproof, breathable fabrics that provide lasting comfort in the field. Whether your horse is stabled overnight or living out full-time, a medium weight rug helps maintain their condition and comfort during cooler days.

Styles & Features to Suit Every Horse

Our collection includes a wide variety of medium weight turnout rugs designed to suit different shapes, needs, and turnout routines. Key styles include:

• Detachable Neck Rugs – Flexible protection for changeable weather. Easily add or remove the neck piece based on the forecast.

• Standard Neck Rugs – Great for hardy types or milder days when neck coverage isn’t required.

• Combo Neck Rugs – All-in-one coverage for maximum warmth and weather protection across the body and neck.

Many designs feature additional benefits such as ripstop outer fabrics, anti-rub linings, deep gussets for freedom of movement, and reflective trims for visibility in low light.

Looking for lighter coverage? Browse our lightweight turnout rugs for transitional conditions. Facing colder months? Our heavyweight rugs are designed for harsh winter turnout.

Is a Medium Weight Turnout Rug Right for Your Horse?

When deciding which rug weight is right, consider:

• Clip Level: Fully clipped horses will benefit most from 200g fill in cool, damp conditions.

• Body Condition & Breed: Finer breeds or those prone to losing weight may need extra warmth during shoulder seasons.

• Lifestyle: Horses living out 24/7 or in exposed fields may need more protection than stabled horses or those with field shelters.

• Activity Level: Horses in light work may need a bit more warmth than those in regular exercise.

A medium turnout rug is often the most versatile option – providing just enough coverage without the risk of overheating, especially during unpredictable weather spells.
