*** FOCUS ON RUGGING ***

Continuing our focus on rugging, this figure illustrates quite nicely what happens if we "over-rug". The image shows the air temperature in blue on a fairly typical autumn day similar to those many of us are experiencing now.

The horse has a 50g turnout rug on and the horse is clipped. The morning starts cool but it warms up to between 15°C and 20°C for much of the day. We can see that the horses's surface temperature measured under the rug follows a similar pattern BUT by 11:00 in the morning the temperature under the rug is already above the horses upper limit of its thermoneutral or "comfort" zone. And it stays above the 25°C line until later afternoon when the sun starts to get lower in the sky and the temperature starts to drop.

So once again, the message ISN'T DON'T RUG, the message IS DON'T RUG TOO EARLY, DON'T RUG ACCORDING TO HOW YOU FEEL & DON'T OVER-RUG.

Your horse covered in hair, is ~7 times larger than you but only has 2-3 times more skin surface. Most heat is lost at the skin surface. Your horse loses heat much more slowly than you. They won't feel the cold when we do.

In this example, this horse would likely benefit from a 100g rug overnight but doesn't really need one during the day if it stays dry.

🐎Exceptional Chestnut Mare with a Passion for Team Penning 4 ⛵️

Meet our striking chestnut mare, standing just under 14 hands. At only 4 years of age, she boasts a pedigree to impress, with her dam being out of Docs Tribute & Smart As Spinster and the renowned Ducelena as her sire.

While she has 3 months of cutting training under her belt, her true calling emerged when she showed a natural inclination to chase cows rather than merely defend against them. This makes her an outstanding team penner and drafter.

She's a force to be reckoned with in the arena: quick on her feet, completely fearless, and highly responsive. Despite her energetic performance in the pen, she remains respectful when in hand. She's also hassle-free during travel, floating exceptionally well.

Having been sat in the paddock for 6 months, her intrinsic talent shone through when she returned to the pen. After a single ride, she was taken to a local team, penning a fun weekend. She was evident a natural, performing as if she'd been doing it all her life, never setting a foot wrong.

Should you wish, registration is available as an option.

Take advantage of this unique opportunity to own a horse with innate talent and potential.

She's ready for a rider who can genuinely appreciate her abilities in the pen.
