Travel Rugs

Keeping your horse safe and comfortable during travelling gives them the best experience when going to horse shows and events. Travel rugs are an essential part of your horse travels, and using a travel rug on your horse wicks moisture and keeps their body temperature stable without creating sweat. Horse and pony travel rugs also protect against dust and flies. 

Horse Travel Rugs

Horse travel sheets are unique in so many ways. These rugs are functional, versatile, and fashionable. 

The primary purpose of using a horse travel rug is to prevent your horse from overheating while travelling. A horse rug for travel prevents your horse from getting a chill in cold weather should they sweat during transit. The moisture-wicking fabrics also keep them comfortably warm. A travel rug for horses also protects your horse from insects and dust during travel. Top blanket brands may also include an over closure on the front buckles to prevent the buckles from snagging on hay nets and feeders in close quarters.

A horse rug for travelling made of fleece fabric makes them an ideal choice to use as a cooler rug for drying your horse. Additionally, if your horse needs a warm liner for a stable sheet or turnout rug, use a travel horse rug.

Because a travel rug for ponies or horses is also stylish, use them at horse shows and events to keep your horse's coat shiny and dust-free. You can also use them draped over tack between classes to keep your saddle clean. The comfortable fabric also adds warmth and blocks the wind. The best travel rug for horses has polyfill for additional warmth. Fashionable shoulder darts, a quilted pattern, colorful rope binding, and rolled collars with fleece add to the classy horse show look.

We also advise travelling your horse in a leather headcollar, full set of travel boots, and tail guard or tail bandage – all available right here at Discount Equestrian!
