Rug Season: Because Your Horse Isn’t Supposed to Cosplay a Sausage Roll 🐴🧣”

Clipping season is here, which means the rugs come out... and so do the accidental fashion crimes. A badly fitting rug might look innocent, but it can secretly wage war on your horse’s shoulders, withers, and mood.

Here’s the deal:
A rug that’s too tight or sliding sideways isn’t just annoying—it can cause pressure points, bruising, restricted movement, and fascia tighter than my jeans after Christmas dinner. Horses won’t send a complaint email… they’ll just move weird, get sore, and give you “the look.”

🚨 Rug Red Flags:

Rub marks or mystery bald patches

Warm spots or lumpy hair when you remove it

Shortened stride or that awkward “I can’t move my shoulders in this thing” walk

✅ How to Keep Your Horse Happy (and Un-squished):

Check chest and shoulder room—can they strut, not shuffle?

Watch how they move in it, not just how cute they look standing still

Adjust, swap, or burn that rug that keeps sliding to Spain

At Town & Country Animal Services, we believe rugs should keep horses warm, not compress them into ravioli. Happy fascia = happy horse = happy you.

Enjoy the winter fuzzies, but for the love of movement… check those rugs! 🐎💨
