Advert: January 2025

From muddy fields to icy conditions, owners across the country have to brave the elements every day to care for their much-loved horses. While most of us can cope with the cold and the mud, dealing with wet weather is far from fun! 

Fortunately, VioVet’s collection of waterproof horse wear is there for you and your horse, to protect you both from the rain.

Read on, to explore a small selection of the amazing array of waterproof products available for horses and riders… 

Waterproof lightweight turnout rugs

Lightweight turnout rugs are handy to have in the tack room, since they’re versatile and can be layered up in colder weather if needed. Whether you own a hairy native pony or a thin-coated sports horse, a lightweight rug could offer protection and a layer of warmth from wet, windy weather. 

Tempest Original Lite Turnout Rug

With a 600 denier ShireTex ripstop outer and detachable neck cover, the Tempest Original Lite Turnout Rug provides superior protection from rain!

Durability meets clever design in the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Plus Dynamic II High Neck Lite.

Additionally, this lightweight turnout benefits from a high neck design, extra-large tail flap, and side gussets for freedom of movement!

Plus, this rug offers the option for a fillet string or leg straps, allowing ample adjustability to suit your horse. 

Waterproof exercise sheets
