We all recognise it: You are standing in front of your wardrobe thinking, what am I going to wear today? Especially during the changeable autumn weather, it can be difficult to find suitable clothes for the weather. One moment the sun is shining and the next you're in the middle of a downpour. If only you had put on that waterproof jacket...
When we think of our lovely horse(s) and what they should wear during this changeable weather, many horse owners get quite stressed out about all the different types of blankets. What blanket should you put on? We understand that you do not want to change blankets two or three times a day. We also understand that you want your horse to feel comfortable during the day and the night.
The all-in-one-rug
Bucas found a solution for that: the Bucas Power Turnout Rain. This rug is the absolute best of Bucas! The Power Turnout Rain rug is innovative, extremely strong and has an excellent fit. It is a waterproof, breathable blanket for autumn, winter and spring, and is suited for temperatures between -5 and +16 degrees Celsius.
The outer fabric
The heat-reflective aluminium coating reflects body heat to keep your horse warm, but it also reflects the sun so that it does not have a warming effect on warm, sunny days.
Stay dry lining
The Bucas Power Turnout Rain has an antibacterial stay dry lining. Stay dry is the synthetic version of wool, and this lining reduces moisture and sweat. A layer of stagnant air is created between the horse and the rug, which always provides a dry layer (insulation) on the coat, so your horse never cools off due to sweat/moisture. This is ideal, because with this stay dry lining you don't need a fleece rug anymore!
Thanks to the features mentioned above, a thin blanket like the Bucas Power Turnout Rain still provides a lot of insulation and protection. The Bucas Power Turnout Rain is available for €254.95 in sizes 155-220.
Bucas Power Turnout Extra
There is also a version of the Power Turnout available with a 300 grams filling: the Bucas Power Turnout Extra. This rug is most suitable to be used between -20 and +12 degrees Celsius. It’s especially suited for horses that are sensitive to the cold or clipped horses. The rug costs €298.95 and available in sizes 155-220.
Temperature range
The table below shows the temperature range of the Bucas Power Turnout blankets. The green bar indicates the temperature range within which the blanket can be used. The yellow and orange bars indicate the safety margin, so no need to panic and change the blanket immediately. Is it colder (blue bars) or warmer (red bars) than the safety margins? Then is it advisable to change the blanket.
