Mediumweight Turnout Rugs – Practical Protection for Unpredictable UK Weather

A medium-weight turnout rug is a must-have for changeable British weather. With around 200g of fill, these rugs offer reliable insulation when it’s too cool for a lightweight, but not yet cold enough for a heavyweight. They’re ideal for autumn, spring, and milder winter days - helping your horse stay warm, dry, and comfortable in the field.

Why Choose a Medium Turnout Rug?

A medium turnout rug provides that essential balance between warmth and breathability. It’s an excellent choice for:

• Clipped horses or those with fine coats

• Older horses or poor doers

• Horses living out full-time

• Unpredictable wet or windy days

With waterproof outers and breathable linings, these rugs help maintain your horse’s condition without causing overheating - a practical option for fluctuating temperatures across the UK.

Detachable Necks, Combo Styles & Classic Fits

Our selection includes medium turnout rugs with detachable necks, combo neck options, and standard neck designs - so you can choose the best coverage for your horse's needs:

• Combo neck: Full coverage from poll to tail, ideal for clipped horses and harsh weather

• Detachable neck: Flexibility to add or remove the neck depending on the day

• Standard neck: A lighter option for hardy types or in-between days

You’ll also find thoughtful features such as:

• Waterproof ripstop outers

• Anti-rub linings to protect your horse’s coat

• Deep shoulder gussets for ease of movement

• Adjustable fastenings for a secure fit

• Reflective strips for low-light turnout

For even more comfort and protection, explore our under rugs and liners - perfect for layering on colder days or adding extra insulation beneath your mediumweight rug.

Prevent Rubs & Improve Fit

If your horse is prone to rug rubs, adding an anti-rub vest or bib can help minimise friction around the shoulders and withers. These are especially useful for clipped horses or those wearing rugs for extended periods, helping to keep their coat in better condition.

If you have a mediumweight rug with a standard neck and attachment points, you can easily add a neck cover for extra warmth and protection. This is a great option if you want more flexibility - for example, you might choose a slightly lighter neck cover to avoid overheating, rather than matching the full weight of the rug. It’s a simple way to adapt your setup to suit your horse and the weather without committing to a full combo style.
