Behavioral Notes
This helps us give more accurate rug recommendations based on how exposed your horse is to the elements.
Housing type
Fully stabled
Indoors most of the time
Mixed (in at night)
Paddock by day, stabled at night
Paddock with shelter
Outdoor with shed or trees
Paddock, no shelter
Fully exposed to elements
Agistment
Boarded at a facility
These help us give accurate, personalised rug recommendations every day.
Clip type
What clip does your horse currently have?
Unclipped
Full natural coat
Trace clip
Belly & neck
Blanket clip
Body + legs
Hunter clip
Most of body
Full clip
Entire coat removed
💡 No clip — full natural coat insulation. Lower critical temperature.
Body condition score (BCS)
1 = very thin · 5 = ideal · 9 = obese
5
Ideal — good insulation
Cold sensitivity
How does your horse typically handle cold?
Sensitive
Feels cold easily
Normal
Average tolerance
Hardy
Handles cold well
Temperament
How would you describe your horse's general behaviour?
Hot/fizzy
Highly reactive
Easily stressed
Well balanced
Laid-back
Very relaxed
Cold-blooded
Very calm & steady
Your rugging style
How do you prefer to rug? This is about YOU as the owner.
I rug heavier
I prefer to rug conservatively — rather too warm than too cold
Follow the science
Give me the most accurate recommendation based on conditions
I rug lighter
I prefer minimal rugging and let the horse's coat do the work
This horse's rugging style
Does this specific horse need more or less rugging than the recommendation?
Always rug
Needs more warmth than average
As advised
Follow recommendations
Minimal rug
Prefers less than average
Companion / alone?
Horses in groups can share warmth — solo horses need slightly more protection.
Sex
Mare / Gelding / Stallion etc. — used for pregnancy tracking.
Mare
Female adult
Gelding
Castrated male
Stallion
Entire male
Filly
Young female
Colt

Work status
Fitness level affects how much body heat your horse generates.
In work
Fit & active
Light work
Occasional riding
Retired
No longer ridden
Spelling
Rest & recovery
Young/unbroken
Not yet in work
Diet & nutrition
Better nutrition = better coat and body condition = more natural insulation.
Excellent
Optimal nutrition
Good
Fair
Could be improved
Poor
Needs improvement
Hay & forage access
Hindgut fermentation generates body heat — ad-lib hay significantly warms horses from the inside.
Ad-lib hay
Unlimited access always
Good access
Fed regularly, well supplied
Restricted
Limited hay / on diet
No hay access
Pasture only or feed yard
Health conditions
Select all that apply — affects how we interpret rugging risk and alerts.
Cushing's / PPID
Pituitary pars intermedia dysfunction — affects coat shedding, immune response, and heat tolerance
Anhidrosis (can't sweat)
Reduced or absent sweating — cannot self-cool. High heat risk.
Laminitis
History of or current laminitis — affects rugging decisions in warm weather
EMS / Insulin resistance
Equine metabolic syndrome — over-rugging in warm weather may worsen insulin dysregulation
Sweet itch (midge allergy)
Hypersensitivity to midge bites — we'll recommend sweet itch rugs in warm/humid conditions
No conditions — tap any that apply.
Layering rugs
Are you happy to layer multiple rugs when conditions call for it?
Happy to layer
Suggest combos
OK if needed
Layer when required
No layering
Single rug only
I'll decide
Just show options
Accessories & sensitivities
We'll remind you when these are needed.
Needs face mask in cold/wind
We'll suggest one when it's very cold or windy
Needs fly mask in sun/summer
Suggested on sunny or high-UV days
UV sensitive (pink skin or grey coat)
We'll recommend UV protection sheets in high UV
Has a tail guard
We'll suggest using it in heavy rain + wind
Current coat stage
Helps us calibrate for seasonal transitions
Full winter coat
Thick, dense — maximum natural insulation
Shedding
Losing winter coat — patchy, variable insulation
Growing in
New coat coming in — lighter cover still needed
Summer coat
Short, sleek — minimal natural insulation
Optional — engine will estimate based on breed and month if not set.
