Broad Horse Rugs
Extra large horse rugs with XL gussets for comfort and freedom
Finding the right fit for broader horses can be tricky. But Caribu’s extra large horse rugs are made with your horse’s build in mind. Our XL rugs are specially designed to suit heavy horses, wide-chested breeds and those who need more freedom around the shoulders. Featuring full-length XL gussets, these rugs allow greater mobility through the shoulder area without pulling or restricting movement.
Available in styles like combo, hooded and Detach-a-Neck, these broad fit rugs come in popular lines including Ripstop, Alpine, Eclipse and Euro Mesh. Whether you’re after a breathable summer rug or a winter rug with fill, every option is tailored to provide comfort for horses with wider frames, with sizing from 5’6” to 7’0” to suit a range of large builds.
Built for broader horses, designed to move with them
Our XL rug collection features strong, high-performance fabrics like dual diamond weave ripstop and 1200 Denier outers for everyday durability. Full-length shoulder gussets reduce pressure points and allow for better forward extension, making these rugs ideal for horses that need extra room to move.
If your horse struggles with traditional fits or needs more freedom through the chest and shoulders, this range is built to help. You’ll also find added touches like detachable necks, reflective bindings and matching tail bags.
What makes an XL gusset different?
XL gussets are longer and set deeper than standard gussets, allowing more movement through the shoulder area. This reduces rubbing and gives your horse better freedom to move.
Which horses benefit most from extra large rugs?
Heavy breeds, horses with a wide chest or strong shoulder, and those who often outgrow standard rug fits are best suited to XL or broad horse rugs.
Do these rugs come in different neck styles?
Yes, this collection includes combo, hooded and Detach-a-Neck styles, so you can choose the coverage that suits your horse’s needs and the weather.
Can I use an XL rug for turnout?
Absolutely. Many of our XL rugs, such as the Alpine and Ripstop styles, are made with strong outers and designed for outdoor use in paddocks or during travel.
