DefenceX Shield Thermal Rug

The DefenceX Shield Thermal Rug is a smart and practical addition to your horse’s wardrobe, designed to keep your horse comfortable and protected after exercise, bathing or during travel.

Made from a high-performance quilted fabric, this rug features an insulating layer that helps prevent chills while still allowing the horse to cool down gradually. The moisture-wicking properties draw sweat away from the skin, ensuring your horse stays dry and comfortable.

Designed with comfort in mind, the rug includes a padded wither area to reduce pressure and prevent rubbing. Twin front clip fastenings, adjustable cross surcingles and a fillet string provide a secure and stable fit, making it suitable for a range of uses.

Combining insulation, breathability and practicality, this rug is ideal for everyday use in a variety of situations.
