Light Coverage for Mild, Wet Weather
When the rain rolls in but the temperature’s still mild, the Shires Tempest Original 50 Turnout Rug in blue is a practical pick. This lightweight standard rug offers just enough warmth to take the edge off without causing your horse to overheat — ideal for spring showers and damp autumn days.
With 50g of polyfill insulation, it’s a great in-between option when a no-fill rug isn’t quite enough. The fully lined interior keeps your horse comfortable, while the 600 denier ripstop outer and ShireTex® fabric technology provide 3000mm waterproof protection and breathability.
Thoughtfully finished with a durable water repellent coating, taped seams and PFC-free construction, this Shires horse rug is built for everyday field wear. Adjustable buckle chest straps, cross surcingles, a fillet strap and a tail flap help keep everything secure and in place.
Compatible with WarmaRug liners, it’s easy to adapt the warmth to suit changing conditions — just add a 100g or 200g liner when needed.
A smart, reliable layer to see your horse comfortably through those in-between months.
