Fleece Rugs

Horse Fleece Rugs

A good fleece rug is one of the most versatile pieces of kit in the yard. The moisture-wicking properties of fleece make it ideal for use after exercise, when a horse needs to dry off without getting cold, but the same rug works equally well as a travel layer under a turnout rug, as a stable rug liner on cold nights, or as a smart layering piece for competition days.

Every fleece rug in this collection comes from Kentucky Horsewear, whose rugs have become a mainstay of the equestrian market for good reason. Their designs use fast-drying, moisture-wicking fabrics with a wool-like appearance, and most feature artificial sheepskin at the wither to prevent rubbing. The range covers a few distinct formats: cooler rugs for post-exercise use, heavier stripe and fishbone blankets that work across multiple seasons, show fleeces designed for the ring, and vegan wool options for those looking for an animal-friendly alternative with the same warmth and finish.

For horses that require coverage across a wider area, the fleece range connects naturally with our quarter rugs and neck covers, many of which are designed to coordinate and can be worn together during exercise or warm-up. The riding rug and quarter rug options in particular are designed to attach to the saddle, making them practical for use during hacking or schooling in cooler weather. If you are planning for exercise and walker rugs or want to compare options across the full horse rugs range, both are worth browsing alongside this collection. For horses competing or travelling to shows, the show fleece range also sits well alongside our show rugs.
