As the days start getting colder, the Horseware® Liner System offers the ability to demand more from your stable or turnout rug by simply adding a liner for increased warmth and comfort. In this comprehensive guide, discover how to unlock the versatility of your horse rugs to adapt to changing weather and temperatures.

Your Rug. Your Way.

The Horseware Liner System has become the industry standard for customisable rug solutions. Designed to meet your horse’s individual needs, this simple and flexible system empowers you to create a transeasonal rug that adapts to reflect seasonal rugging needs.

By adding a layer to your liner-compatible rug, you can effortlessly adjust the weight of your horse rug, making liners the ideal solution for changing weather conditions.

Liner Uses and Benefits

Simple system to increase the weight of fill of a rug without the need for two rugs.
Layering offers superior insulation properties by trapping warm air while ensuring maximum breathability.
Attaches easily and securely to the outer rug with a Velcro Loop System along the neck and clips at the back end of the rug to avoid slippage and guarantee a snug fit.
Horseware Liners fit easily into a domestic washing machine for frequent washing. A clean lining supports healthy skin and prevents irritations. This can be especially beneficial for clipped horses.
