However, this blanket is so waterproof that I didn't have to change it last year, even during two days of continuous rain.

I often have trouble finding blankets that aren't too tight across the broad chest of my Quarter Horse, but this one fits perfectly.

The 'Ultra Dry' as a dry liner in combination with a turnout rug is the ideal solution for me and my horse! After riding or on wet days, I put the rug directly underneath. My horse stays protected and dries quickly.

The perfect horse rain rug for your horse – no more wet horses
Every horse owner knows the problem: A sudden rain shower, your horse is standing unsuspecting in the pasture, and its coat is soaked to the skin in an instant. Especially in the cooler seasons, this can be uncomfortable and, in the long run, even stressful for your horse. With the right rug from our horse rugs category, your horse will stay dry and protected in any weather, no matter how many rainy days are in a row. But which turnout rug suits your horse, and what is truly important for protection against wet weather? We'll show you what matters.
Which horses should wear a rain sheet?
Not every horse necessarily needs a rain sheet, but in some cases blanketing is sensible:
- Clipping horses – Without a protective winter coat, clipped horses cool down more quickly. A well-fitting rain sheet compensates for the lack of coat protection and keeps body temperature stable.
- Older or sensitive horses – Older horses often get cold faster, and conditions like arthritis can worsen in cold and damp weather. A waterproof rain sheet keeps the joints warm and ensures greater well-being.
- Sport horses – After training, warmed-up muscles should not be allowed to cool down too quickly. A rain sheet helps to prevent tension and maintain temperature.
- Sensitive breeds – Horses with thinner coats, such as Thoroughbreds or Arabians, are less resistant to wind and rain and particularly benefit from additional protection.
- Horses in open stables – Those who keep their horses outside year-round expose them directly to the wind and weather. A durable blanket from our horse blankets category provides reliable protection against persistent wetness, even for many days at a time.
The benefits of a high-quality turnout rug

That is why we develop turnout rugs that are thoughtful, durable, and stylish, offering your horse the protection it needs in any weather. Never leave your horse out in the rain again—discover our selection of turnout rugs now.
Reliable protection
Our turnout rugs are made of waterproof materials that can withstand even heavy rain. Your horse will stay dry, even if it stands outside for hours.
Preventive healthcare
By blanketing, you prevent colds, muscle tension, and joint problems, especially in horses with sensitive muscles.
More comfort for your horse
Our turnout rugs are made from breathable material and are comfortably lightweight, allowing your horse to move freely. The breathable lining in particular ensures that no heat or sweat builds up under the rug.
Durable workmanship
Robust outer fabrics, taped seams, and sturdy fasteners ensure that the blanket will withstand several seasons.
A fit that sits perfectly
Adjustable closures and a well-thought-out cut ensure a chafe-free fit, even when worn daily for many days.
Longer service life
The high-quality outdoor blankets are made of durable material that withstands multiple seasons. Double-stitched seams and sturdy fasteners ensure a long service life.
Why we choose these materials
We deliberately tailor the water column, material thickness, and fabric structure to each specific application.
5,000 mm provide reliable rain protection without unnecessarily restricting breathability through a heavier coating. This allows heat and moisture to escape better, keeping the horse dry and at a comfortable temperature under the rug. Ripstop fabric gains its stability from woven-in reinforcement threads, while extra-robust 2500D fabrics with strong yarns offer exceptional durability.
Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ) about the horse rain rug
Does every horse need a rain rug?
No. Hardy horses with thick winter coats usually cope well with rain and cold. Clipped, older, or sensitive horses, on the other hand, benefit significantly from a waterproof turnout rug.
How do I find the right size for my horse's rain rug?
Measure your horse's back length from the withers to the dock of the tail. This length generally corresponds to the correct rug size. A good fit is secure without slipping or restricting movement.
Are rain rugs breathable?
Yes, our turnout rugs are made of breathable materials that wick moisture away from the inside to the outside, so your horse doesn't sweat while staying protected from the rain. Good breathability is especially important for active horses.
What should the minimum water column rating of a rain rug be?
For everyday pasture use, a water column of 2,000 mm is sufficient. For continuous rain or an unprotected open stable, we recommend at least 5,000 mm.
What is the difference between a turnout rug and a winter rug?
A turnout rug primarily protects against wet weather and wind and is usually unlined or only lightly lined. A stable rug offers additional thicker padding against the cold and should also be waterproof.
What should I pay particular attention to when buying?
When buying, pay particular attention to the water column, a breathable material, and the right size. Those who take these points into account when purchasing and try the blanket on for size beforehand usually make a good decision and will not need to buy another one later.
