Waldhausen Comfort Line 300g Stable Rug for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Comfort Line Stable Rug 300g
The Waldhausen Comfort Line Stable Rug is a 300g medium-to-heavyweight stable rug with an 840 denier polypropylene outer and a cool-dry-lining, made for horses kept in overnight during the colder months. It is best for stabled horses, cobs and larger ponies that need warmth in the box rather than waterproof turnout cover.
Practical fittings do the work: a triplex front fastener with Waldhausen design-buckles, cross surcingles with elastic, leg straps, a shoulder gusset and a tail flap, plus a soft fleece collar where rubbing is most likely. The rug arrives in its own storage bag, so it stays clean on the tack room shelf out of season. Browse more options in our horse rugs collection.

How to Use
- Measure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the point of the buttock and choose the closest rug size.
- Fold the rug, place it over the withers and unfold it back along the body so the coat lies flat.
- Fasten the triplex front fastener first so the chest sits level and the fleece collar lies smoothly.
- Cross the elasticated surcingles under the belly and adjust so a hand's width fits between strap and horse.
- Attach the leg straps, linking them through each other so they sit clear of the hocks.
- Check the fit after the first night, looking for rubs at the shoulder, wither and chest, and adjust as needed.
FAQ
Is the Waldhausen Comfort Line 300g rug waterproof?
No. It is a stable rug intended for use in the box. The outer is 840 denier polypropylene and the rug is breathable, but it is not described as a waterproof turnout rug.
How warm is a 300g stable rug?
A 300g filling is a heavyweight stable option, generally suited to cold winter nights, clipped horses or horses that feel the cold. Always judge by how warm your horse feels behind the shoulder rather than by the air temperature alone.
What size rug should I choose?
Measure from the centre of the chest to the point of the buttock and pick the nearest size. If your horse is between sizes, or broad through the shoulder and chest, the larger size usually fits better and reduces rubbing.
Does it have a high neck?
No, this is a standard-neck cut with a soft fleece collar. If your horse normally wears a high-neck rug, expect less coverage up the neck.
Does it come with leg straps?
Yes. Leg straps are included alongside elasticated cross surcingles, and a tail flap gives extra coverage at the rear.
How should I store and care for it?
Brush off bedding and dried mud after use, let the rug dry fully, and check buckles, surcingles and leg straps for wear. Store it in the supplied bag over the summer.
