Equip your horse with the ultimate armor for the field. The Shires Stormcheeta 200 Mediumweight Turnout Rug and Neck Set is engineered to withstand the most brutal winter conditions while providing the "rug wrecker" durability that Hooves and Paws customers demand.

When standard rugs fail, the Stormcheeta excels. This high-performance mediumweight turnout rug is built around the legendary ShireTex® 1680 denier ballistic nylon outer. This ultra-tough, 1680D ballistic fabric is specifically designed to resist the teeth of destructive horses and the snags of dense brush, making it the premier ballistic nylon horse rug for those who play hard. With 200g of premium polyfill insulation, this set offers superior warmth for clipped horses or those needing reliable protection during cold snaps.

The Shires Equestrian Stormcheeta system is as versatile as it is tough. The included detachable neck cover allows you to customize your horse's level of protection based on the forecast, ensuring full-body coverage against wind and rain or a more open feel on milder days. Designed with deep shoulder gussets, this 200g horse blanket ensures your horse enjoys a full range of motion without the risk of restrictive rubbing or discomfort.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure I am ordering the correct size for my horse?
A: Proper fit is essential for protection and comfort. To find the perfect size, measure your horse from the center of the chest, around the widest part of the shoulder, to the furthest point of the buttock. If your horse falls between sizes, we strongly recommend rounding up to the next size. This ensures the deep shoulder gussets and 1680D outer can provide the intended range of motion and coverage without tension.

Q: Is this rug really tough enough for a "rug wrecker"?
A: Yes. While most turnout rugs use 600D or 1200D materials, the Stormcheeta utilizes 1680 denier ballistic nylon. This is significantly stronger and more puncture-resistant than standard weaves, making it the top choice for horses known for destroying their blankets.

Q: Can the neck cover be used with other rugs?
A: The detachable neck is specifically designed to integrate seamlessly with the Stormcheeta 200 system to maintain a waterproof seal and secure fit.
