I finally convinced my parents to let me have a pony which we are looking for now! Theres only one problem..rugs! I know I need at least one turnout,a stable, A travel/cooler to start with. I'm just not sure what type of turnout rug to get(heavyweight,medium,light) for (i) a 14.2hh pony with a trace clip(ii) a 14.2 pony with a blanket clip(iii) a 14.2hh pony with a full clipBy the way its Irish/Brittish weatherI just dont want the pony to be too warm as its spring or too cold if we have any cold spells! Thanks
you need a summer one you need a rain one you need a thick one for the cold days you need a cooler for after riding blah blah blah. and a fleece. That's about it. BUT you can find waterproof summer ones, so you can narrow that down to one (2 in 1! YAY!)
well if you have a full clip he will need a heavyweight turnout, and at least 2 thick stable rugs.
My boy is a 14.3hh bay pony. I bought two Harrison Howard rugs for him. The rug for winter keeps him dry and warm, and the summer rug keeps him cool in the sun??s heat.
When it is spring he will only need a waterproof but in winter he may be cold. What i do for my pony who isnt clipped at all is put her fleecy travel rug under her waterproof to keep her warmer. What I would probally do is buy a medium turnout rug because he is clipped and then put a fleecy travel rug underneeth if he gets cold during the winter months Hope this helps
