If you are a horse or pony owner, chances are you have accumulated a number of rugs for them to wear. Depending on the weather, time of year, and of course if you horse is clipped or unclipped that collection might be quite large.
Deciding on which type of rug for your horse can be a difficult enough challenge, without having the responsibility of choosing the right type of rug. With different neck styles, weights, features and prices to offer, it’s easy to see why this can be a daunting task for any horse owner.
With this in mind, here at WeatherBeeta, we have developed a range of rugs that are compatible with easy-to-use and versatile rug liners. Discover more about the benefits of using a rug liner system below...
What is a horse rug liner?
A liner is a type of rug that goes under your current rug and secures to your turnout or stable rug using tabs and clips for security, to provide an extra layer of insulation. WeatherBeeta currently offers a range of liners, available in Medium/Lite (100g), Medium weight (200g), and Heavy weight (300g).
What are the benefits of using a horse rug liner?
The benefit of using a horse rug liner system is then you only require one turnout or stable rug, usually a light weight. You can then add or remove different weight liners depending on the weather conditions and temperature. This makes your rug completely versatile. It is also a more cost-effective way of filling out your horse's wardrobe.
For ease of good hygiene, WeatherBeeta liners can be easily washed helping to allow your outer turnout rug to stay waterproof for many seasons, while ensuring your horse always has a clean liner against their back and sensitive skin.
The liners themselves are brimming with features for the comfort of your horse and for transitional ease for the owner, including a channel quilted outer for durability, a boa fleece wither relief pad to relieve wither pressure and prevent rubbing, a single touch tape front chest strap, and four touch-tape tabs on the neck and clips at the rear to allow for an easy optional layer.
What WeatherBeeta rugs are liner compatible?
There are many turnout rugs within the WeatherBeeta ranges that can be used with a liner.
Compatible Turnout Blankets include: ComFiTec Ultra Comfi, Ultra Hardi, Premier Free II, Green-Tec 1200D and the Plus Dynamic II.
Green-Tec Liners
The Green-Tec liners feature a strong 150 denier recycled inner and come in medium/lite, medium and heavy weights. A single touch tape front closure and four touch-tape tabs on the neck keep the liner in place and prevents slip back over the withers, whilst the clips at the rear attach to the outer rug to prevent the liner moving and becoming a hazard to your horses legs.


Thermi-Heat Liner
The Innovative Thermi-Heat technology liner provides a versatile layering system to ensure you can remove or add a layer for your horse's comfort, whatever the weather. This liner features a 210 denier inner with a versatile 100g of polyfill. The Thermi-Heat lining across the back utilises thermal reflection from your horse to maintain warmth, while also allowing excess moisture to escape.


Cotton Sheet Liner
The WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Cotton Sheet Liner provides your horse warmth without the fill, making it ideal for damp horses, as well as being easy to wash, assisting with keeping the inside of your rug clean. As a strong 270g fabric with a 60% cotton outer and lined shoulders and boa fleece at the wither to prevent rubbing, shoulder gussets that are compatible with both the freedom system and traditional side gussets, your horse is sure to be comfortable. The single touch tape front chest strap and two touch tape tabs on the neck and clips at the rear to allow for an easy optional layer.
