What weight Rhino rug does my horse need?
Mild but wet — 0g
A 0g (no fill) turnout keeps the rain off without adding warmth. The Rhino Turnout 0g (£155.95) is the classic choice for unclipped horses in mild, wet spells.
Cool nights — 100g
A 100g lightweight adds a modest layer of warmth for autumn and spring. Full-size options run from the Rhino Turnout 100g at £164.95.
Proper winter — 250g VL
The 250g Vari-Layer rugs are the most popular winter pick, balancing warmth against overheating on milder winter days.
Clipped or cold-backed — 450g VL
For fully clipped horses or genuinely cold snaps, the heavyweight 450g Vari-Layer options — the Wug Turnout 450g VL (£233.95) and Plus Turnout 450g VL (£242.95) — give maximum warmth.
Do Rhino rugs come in pony sizes?
Yes — this is one of the strongest pony line-ups in any rug brand we stock. Dedicated pony versions of the Turnout, Wug, Plus and Hexstop Plus run from 3ft 9 to 5ft 9, with pony turnouts starting at £138.95 and pony stable rugs at £86.95. Full-size rugs cover 5ft 6 up to 7ft 3 depending on the model.
What about stable rugs and hoods?
For horses in overnight, the Rhino Stable range comes in 100g (£103.95), 250g VL (£114.95) and 350g VL (£121.95), with pony stable rugs from £86.95. Matching stable hoods start at £51.95 (100g) and £55.95 (200g), while waterproof turnout hoods cost £59.95 (0g) and £64.95 (150g) — a simple way to add warmth and coverage without buying another rug.

Horseware Rhino FAQs
Where does Rhino sit against Amigo and Rambo?
Rhino is Horseware's mid-range line: tougher fabrics and more features than the entry-level Amigo range, at a lower price than the flagship Rambo rugs. For most horses in regular turnout it is the sweet spot between durability and cost.
What does VL (Vari-Layer) mean on a Rhino rug?
Vari-Layer is Horseware's layered fill construction. It concentrates insulation over the back and quarters, where horses lose most heat, so the rug feels warmer for its weight without extra bulk over the shoulders.
What is a Wug?
A Wug is Horseware's high-neck cut: the rug rises further up the neck than a standard design without being a full attached neck cover. It suits horses that need a bit more coverage and mane protection but find full neck rugs too much.
Are Rhino turnout rugs waterproof?
Yes — all Rhino turnout rugs and turnout hoods are waterproof and breathable, designed for field use in British weather. The Rhino Stable rugs and stable hoods are not waterproof and should only be used indoors.
What sizes do Rhino rugs come in?
Pony models run from 3ft 9 to 5ft 9, and full-size models from 5ft 6 up to 7ft 3 depending on the style. Hoods come in X-Small to X-Large. Measure from the centre of the chest to the point of the buttock to find your size — if you are between sizes, get in touch and our team will help.
Which Rhino rug is best for a horse that destroys rugs?
The Hexstop Plus range (from £233.95, pony from £216.95) uses Horseware's Hexstop outer for extra tear resistance, plus an attached neck cover — the strongest option in this collection for known rug-wreckers.
