Return homeSleek Fit and Coat Protection
Lycra rugs are designed to give your horse a second-skin fit that keeps the coat smooth and free from dust or debris. The stretch fabric helps maintain a glossy, show-ready appearance, making them a favourite among competition riders. By minimising friction, they help prevent rubbing caused by heavier turnout or stable rugs, keeping your horse comfortable and looking its best.
Versatile Layering and Use
A lycra rug is a versatile addition to any horse wardrobe. It can be worn alone in mild weather or layered under a stable rug for warmth and added coat protection. Many riders use them before shows to keep their horses clean after bathing or clipping. Their close-fitting, breathable design makes them perfect for travel, as they allow freedom of movement without overheating.
Show Preparation and Travel Comfort
Lycra rugs are particularly popular in show prep routines. The snug fit helps lay the coat flat, keeping plaits neat and coats shiny. They’re lightweight, easy to wash, and quick-drying — perfect for keeping your horse clean during transport or while stabled before competition. Many models also feature full neck coverage or integrated hoods for complete coat protection.
Durability and Fit
Made from high-quality stretch materials, lycra rugs combine flexibility with strength. Elasticated bindings and secure fastenings ensure a comfortable, slip-free fit that adapts to your horse’s shape. These rugs are easy to maintain and built to last, making them a reliable choice for daily use or special occasions.
