Waldhausen Economic 200g Stable Rug for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Economic Stable Rug 200g in Navy
The Waldhausen Economic Stable Rug is a 200g medium-weight stable rug made from breathable 420 denier polyester, intended for horses and ponies stabled overnight or during the cooler months. It is best for riders who want a straightforward, hard-wearing everyday rug for the stable rather than a heavyweight turnout rug.
The rug fastens with a front T-closure plus an additional Velcro strap over it, and is held in place by cross surcingles and a tail cord. A shoulder gusset and padded withers help the rug sit comfortably while your horse moves around the box and lies down. You can compare it with other options in our horse rugs collection.

How to Use
- Measure your horse in feet and inches from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock, and choose the matching rug size.
- Fold the rug and lay it over the withers, then unfold it back along the body so the coat lies flat.
- Fasten the front T-closure first, then secure the Velcro strap over the top.
- Cross the surcingles under the belly and clip them so you can fit a hand's width between strap and body.
- Pass the tail cord under the tail and adjust so it sits loosely without pulling the rug back.
- Check the shoulder and wither area for rubbing after the first night and adjust the fit as needed.
FAQ
Is this a stable rug or a turnout rug?
It is a stable rug. The 420 denier polyester outer is breathable and designed for indoor use in the box, not as a waterproof turnout layer.
How warm is a 200g rug?
200g is generally considered a medium-weight fill, suitable for cooler nights and for clipped horses stabled overnight. Many riders use it as their main winter stable rug and layer as needed.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure from the centre of the chest along the body to the point of the buttock in feet and inches. Always measure your own horse rather than copying the size of a different brand, as cut varies between makes. If your horse is between sizes or broad through the shoulder, size up.
Will it stay in place overnight?
The front T-closure with its additional Velcro strap, the cross surcingles and the tail cord work together to keep the rug settled while your horse moves around and lies down.
What is the rug made from?
The outer is 420 denier polyester and the upper, lining and filling are all 100% polyester.
How should I clean it?
Brush off dried mud and loose hair after use and follow the instructions on the care label when washing. Check the Velcro, surcingles and tail cord regularly for wear.
