Stable or underrug?

[memenom]

I have three rugging options for my horse who is due to be high trace clipped:

1) JUTE RUG (and blankets) of my mum's for in the stable and under his turnout rug (which has no fill) for outside.

2) Buy a stable rug (about 200g?) for stable and under turnout rug (can i do this or will he get too hot?).

3) Buy and underug for underneath turnout rug and can i use this in the stable?

I know i should know but i'm only 16! Thanks for any help!!

I wouldn't really want a jute and blankets under a turnout rug. The risk is that they slip then get wet and cold and heavy.

If money is tight I would buy a breathable turnout of 200g-350g depending upon how much he feels the cold and how exposed your fields are. The jute will be fine in the stable or you can use a turnout in the stable. I wouldn't spend money on under rugs if you haven't got a turnout with a fill.

do you know of any good quality turnout rugs i can get for under £50 or around there?

Agree, get a medium or heavy turnout rug and just keep it on in the stable. Check out Equestrian Clearence for sale rugs at a good price.

Shires Tempest or Highlander would be around your price range.

Shires get good reviews, Equestrian Clearance have discounted brands or look for second hand Rambo, Fal, Premier Equine, Weatherbeeta etc.

I think get a mw turnout and possibly a stable rug or even a fleece as an extra layer underneath when it gets more chilly. I saw this turnout the other day for just 29 pounds... Hope the link works as on phone! it is a brogini one on equestrianclearancesales on eBay...
