~ do you stable horse in turnout rugs or stable rugs ~

[Black_Horse_White]

I do both depending on time and weather conditions, although i do prefer him in his stable rug.

We don’t have stable rugs, so breathable turn outs. Don’t see the point in having stable rugs as well.

Depends but 90% of the time they stay in turnouts. I wot buy any new stable rugs for madam, I will just get better quality turnout rugs

If its really cold though, I put layers on which are often stable rugs underneath the turnout.

Def change rugs, it also gives you the perfect opportunity to check your horse over for cuts and scrapes, and i wouldn't like sleeping in my wet clothes.

We use the FAL dual purpose rugs so they stay in the same ones. Always make sure we take them off and put them back on again morning and night though to check them over thoroughly and ensure the rug is fitting correctly.

I use fal and Rambo so also keep them on at night most of the time. If the horses are in for a while then I would use stable rugs. Old rambos can be used as stable rugs if they lose their waterproofing which can happen in time. I have yet to have a Fal lose its waterproofing but would guess it would be the same.

If it is very wet I always check the horses are dry underneath their rugs and would change them if they were wet.
