Frequently Asked Questions
Why choose a lightweight rug over a heavier one?
Horses that run warm, live in a milder climate, or are already rugged underneath can overheat in a heavy fill. A lightweight rug sheds rain without trapping heat against the coat.
Is a 600D outer still waterproof despite being lighter?
Yes. Waterproofing comes from the fabric's coating rather than its weight, so a lighter rug stays rainproof while remaining more breathable than a heavyweight winter blanket.
Can I use a lightweight rug as my only turnout rug?
In a mild climate or for a hardy native breed, often yes. For a colder yard, it works better layered with a fleece or liner underneath than relied on as the sole winter rug.
What's the difference between a 0g rug and a fly sheet?
Both add little or no warmth, but a 0g turnout rug is a solid waterproof fabric for rain, while a fly sheet is an open mesh built to keep insects off in summer. Don't use one in place of the other.
Do you need a liner with a lightweight turnout rug?
Not always, but a compatible liner lets you add warmth on a colder night without buying a separate heavyweight rug, which suits changeable weather better than a single fixed fill weight.
How do I wash it without losing the waterproofing?
A rug-cycle wash with non-bio detergent and no softener, followed by reproofing spray once water stops beading on the surface, keeps a lightweight coating working properly.
What's the returns process if it's not right?
Return the unused rug with its packaging under our standard returns policy for an exchange or refund.
How do I measure my horse for a rug?
Measure from the centre of the chest, along the side, to the point of the buttock, in a straight line rather than over the curve of the body. That figure in inches is the rug size; this listing is sized 6ft3". If your horse falls between sizes, size up rather than down.
What does delivery cost and how long does it take?
Delivery cost and an estimated timescale for your address are calculated at checkout, before you pay, so there are no surprises. Free UK delivery applies on qualifying order values, shown at checkout.
Can I return this rug if the size or fit is wrong?
Yes. Return it unused, with the original packaging where possible, in line with our returns policy, and we'll arrange an exchange or refund.
The complete guide
When a 0g, no-fill rug is actually the right choice
3 min readPaddock & Co
It sounds counterintuitive to buy a rug with zero fill, but a 0g turnout sheet has a real job: keeping rain and wind off a horse that's already warm enough on its own, whether that's a native breed with a thick natural coat, a horse already wearing a fleece or liner underneath, or simply a yard in a mild part of the country.
The mistake to avoid is using a 0g rug as your only cover through a proper cold snap, it will keep a horse dry but won't add meaningful warmth. Pair it with a liner or fleece on the colder nights rather than expecting the shell alone to do a filled rug's job.
Tell us your horse's height, breed and how they're kept, and we'll tell you honestly whether this rug is the right pick or point you to a better fit in the range.
