Rugs for a lightweight cob?

[horsey1992devon]

Hi

I am trying to work out what rugs would be needed for a lightweight cob/ID type horse for when I hopefully get a horse.
I came up with...

.Fleece (to act as cooler & layer under other rugs in cold weather)
.light-med stable rug (for colder weather)
.med-heavy turnout
.possible summer sheet to keep the rain off if it's heavy, but no other rugs in summer unless it gets chilly

What do you think?

nobody have any ideas!?

sounds good! you may want one lightweight and a medium weight turnout though as the lightweight is very useful in the summer if it is raining

My Welsh d has
A fleece
Alightweight stable rug
a medium weight stable rug
a lightweight turnout
a mediumweight turnout

If you are on a budget maybe you could just have fleece and lightweight stable rug and put them on together when cold, or let the horse wear the turnout rug in the stable. a lot depends on whether you plan to clip him and what sort of clip.

I don't use stable rugs. I have a lite, med and heavy good quality breathable like rambo for each horse, also a fly rug, summer sheet and thermatex for parties in the winter.
They wear their T/O inside.
