Did you know that...
250g fillings can help to significantly reduce heat loss at night? This filling creates a uniform, insulating layer of air inside the rug, which keeps the body heat released by the horse stable. This effect is particularly important during rest phases – such as at night or during longer periods of standing – as the body produces less heat during these times. A 250g filling supports a constant feeling of warmth during these exact phases and can help ensure that the horse does not cool down unnoticed.

FAQ
Can I combine the Helsinki rug with under-rugs?
Yes, thanks to the Hook&Hold system, you can flexibly combine the winter rug with up to two SUNRIDE under-rugs and adjust the level of warmth individually.
What are the benefits of the Hook&Hold rug combination system?
The Hook&Hold system allows the Helsinki winter rug to be flexibly combined with up to two under-rugs. The connection is securely fixed and will not slip. This allows the rug to be adapted to different weather conditions without having to change the entire rug.
Is the 250g filling sufficient for winter?
The 250g filling is designed for cold winter days and offers balanced thermal insulation. Depending on your needs, it can be supplemented with up to two under-rugs.
When does a horse need a 250g winter rug?
A 250g winter rug is usually used when temperatures are consistently low and lighter rugs are no longer sufficient. Especially during periods of cold, wind, and moisture, stronger insulation can be useful to protect the horse from heat loss – particularly during rest periods.
How warm does a 250g winter rug really keep a horse?
The warmth of a 250g rug is created by the insulating layer of air within the filling. This stores body heat and reflects it back evenly. The decisive factor here is not just the "feeling of warmth," but the ability to keep the temperature stable over several hours – for example, overnight or when there is little movement.
Why is 1200D ripstop particularly useful for a winter rug?
The 1200D ripstop material combines high tear resistance with durability. The special weave structure ensures that small tears do not spread. Especially in winter, when rugs are subject to greater stress – for example from moisture, dirt, or movement – this material offers reliable protection while remaining easy to care for.
Why is breathability important for a winter rug?
Even in winter, a horse produces moisture through body heat and movement. A breathable winter rug allows this moisture to escape to the outside. This keeps the horse dry and prevents heat buildup under the rug – a decisive factor for wearing comfort.
Is a neck cover included in the scope of delivery?
No, the neck cover is not included and can be added optionally. The neck covers are available in different weights, so you can individually adapt the protection of the neck area to the temperature, weather conditions, and the warmth requirements of your horse.
When is it useful to use a neck cover?
A neck cover offers additional protection for the sensitive neck area, especially in wind, rain, or low temperatures. It can be attached quickly and easily using a clip system and purposefully complements the winter rug without being permanently necessary.
Can I individually adjust the winter rug to my horse?
Yes. Thanks to adjustable surcingles, removable leg straps, an optional chest extender, and the possibility of attaching a neck cover, the rug can be very well adapted to different body shapes and needs.

Description
- Hook&Hold – combine flexibly, fasten securely: The SUNRIDE blanket combination system allows you to expand the Helsinki winter blanket with up to two under-blankets, depending on the weather. With a loop and hook-and-loop fastener at the shoulder, as well as a practical clip system at the rear of the blanket, everything stays in place—even when moving. This system is a flexible companion, especially when the weather changes rapidly. You can combine a maximum of two under-blankets with one outer blanket.
- 1200D Ripstop – maximum strength, long-lasting protection: Due to its special weave structure, this material is particularly tear-resistant and durable. It offers excellent protection against external influences such as rain, wind, and dirt, while remaining long-lasting and easy to care for. The material stands up to even intensive use, ensuring that your horse is reliably protected.
- 250g filling – balanced warmth for cold days: This filling has been specifically developed for cold winter conditions where reliable warmth is crucial. It effectively retains body heat and protects the horse from cooling down. Thanks to its balanced insulation performance, the 250g filling is ideal for frosty days and cold nights, especially in windy and wet conditions. It provides clipped horses with the necessary warmth in winter while also helping older, sensitive, or heat-requiring horses to maintain a constant body temperature. In combination with the breathable outer layer, it creates a comfortable, dry wearing experience—even with changing temperatures and movement.
- 3,000 mm water column – protection against moisture, perfect for changeable weather: With a water column of 3,000 mm, the SUNRIDE winter blanket reliably protects against rain while maintaining its breathability. Thanks to the winter blanket, your horse is optimally protected even in changeable weather or sudden rain showers. The seams on the back line are welded and taped to prevent water from penetrating. However, under extreme conditions or prolonged rain, it may happen that some water penetrates at these points. Therefore, we classify it as water-resistant and not waterproof.
- Breathable – moisture escapes for a comfortable fit: With an ISO-certified air permeability of 3,000 g/m², this stable rug ensures optimal moisture regulation. This high level of breathability allows sweat and excess heat to be reliably wicked away, while your horse remains dry and at a comfortable temperature. Perfect for active horses or changeable weather.
- Attachment for neck cover – additional protection when needed: The neck covers perfectly complement the SUNRIDE horse blankets and cover your horse's sensitive neck area, providing targeted protection against rain, wind, and cold. They can be attached to the horse blanket in no time at all via a simple clip system. The neck covers are available in different weights, so that protection can be individually adjusted to the temperature, weather conditions, and your horse's need for warmth. Especially in wet and cold weather, a neck cover can help prevent your horse from cooling down, thereby reducing the risk of colds or muscle tension.
- Surcingles and detachable leg straps – for a firm hold and easy handling: The straps are individually adjustable and easy to open and close, making handling particularly simple. The leg straps are also detachable, allowing you to adapt the blanket flexibly—ideal for your horse's needs.
- Reflective elements – more visibility for more safety: The logo and the edging of the stable rug are made of reflective material and increase the visibility and safety of your horse. They ensure that your horse is clearly recognizable from every perspective at dusk or in the dark.
- Optional chest extender – adapts to every horse: Optimal fit, even for broader-built horses or those between two sizes. This clever feature allows for individual adjustment, so the stable rug fits comfortably and maximum freedom of movement is guaranteed. Whether it's a powerful neck or special proportions, the chest extender makes the winter blanket versatile and adaptable to almost any body shape. This way, your horse remains protected all around and feels comfortable at all times.
