Weight of Horse Rugs
Horse blanket weightHe is also very hot horse and even with the full video is only in a 200g, so it works for both of us. It then goes to 100g in about March and a light weight when it's hotter. It has a 200g blanket which he only carries on the trailers at shows, a thick non-woven for traveling in winters and a sommer cloth for excursions, a Hi-Viz training paper and a non-woven training leaf.
Carpet Weights
Well, it is up to who you sometimes ask, but it works: Which carpet your horse needs will depend on how hot it is in general, how much grase/yay is available, whether there is hiding place in the fields, how much your stalls are out in the open, how fit he is, etc..
Anyone else on or near your farm you can ask? Usually we have a "What are you doing tonight" talk on the farm every evening, or "how chilly will it be". But I could generally have a lower carpet weight than most of the other guys because my filly is a very hot horse and keeps pretty hot.
