There are some very good quality Caldene rugs on the market these days. If you are looking for a fleece, or an extra heavyweight rug to keep the chill off your horse this winter, this brand of horse rug is one you should definitely consider.

Caldene have designed nicely fitting outdoor and indoor stable rugs with a lot of different size and colour options.

Their Jupiter range is really smart with both the outdoor and stable rugs being very classy-looking indeed. The Jupiter turnout is an especially good buy as it has a 350g thermal filling, which will keep horses warm during the cold winter spells when they are turned out.

Another great thing about this turnout rug is that it has removable back-leg straps, with the usual cross surcingles and just one single easy front-fastening clip. It also comes with a handy neck cover, making this turnout rug real value for money.

The Caldene Jupiter stable rug also has an easy clip single-fastening on the front and the same thermal filling.

Another good feature about Caldene horse rugs is that they are robustly made and they give the horse room to move around in them.

Very often rugs tend to be rather on the short side when it comes to the length from horses’ backs down to their legs. But Caldene have designed their new range to be slightly longer, so that a horse is really well protected from the elements lower down their shoulders and under their bellies. They also come in a good range of sizes from 4’6” to 7’3”.

Caldene rugs are made out of a breathable material which means horses find them a lot more comfortable to wear for longer periods of time. This also means horses tend to stay snug and warm in them without getting too hot.

The fact that some of the Caldene rugs have a zip-neck design with integral neck cover also makes it much easier to put on the horse too. The single clip front fastening makes life a lot easier as well, especially for anyone who has a few horses to take care of.

There are a lot of brands on the market to choose from these days and it can be a little confusing when choosing the right winter rug for your horse. Caldene have designed some rugs that fit horses well.
