Horse Clothing

South Africa's climate varies wildly — from Highveld frost to coastal humidity — and your horse's clothing needs to keep up. At Solo Saddlers, we stock horse rugs, sheets, and coolers designed to handle whatever the weather throws at your yard. With over 35 years in the business, we know what works in local conditions.

Turnout Rugs and Rain Sheets

Turnout rugs are your horse's first line of defence against rain, wind, and cold. We carry waterproof options in various weights — from lightweight rain sheets for summer storms to heavyweight winter turnouts with deep fill. Look for features like tail flaps, leg straps, and cross surcingles that keep the rug in place, even with horses that like to roll.

Stable Rugs and Blankets

For horses that come in at night, a stable rug keeps them warm without the bulk of a turnout. Our range includes quilted stable blankets in light, medium, and heavy weights. Pair a stable rug with a quality fleece underlayer on the coldest Highveld nights.

Coolers, Fleeces and Exercise Sheets

After work, a cooler wicks moisture away and prevents chills as your horse dries. We stock fleece coolers, mesh coolers for warmer months, and exercise sheets for horses that clip but still need to work in cold weather. These are the everyday items that make yard management easier.

Fly Sheets and Summer Protection

In the warmer months, flies and UV rays are the enemy. Lightweight fly sheets protect your horse's coat without overheating. For dedicated fly control, browse our Fly Protection collection alongside chemical options in Fly Repellents.

Choosing the Right Rug

Measure from the centre of the chest, along the side, to the point of the buttock. Rug sizes are given in feet or centimetres — check the brand's sizing guide for accuracy. When in doubt, size up rather than down. Pair your horse clothing with proper grooming to keep the coat healthy underneath.
