The Rhino® Plus with detachable neck cover, features our Surefit Neck Design, V-Front Closure and dual leg arches, which eliminate pressure around the shoulders, allowing for greater freedom of movement and comfort while grazing. The belly surcingles and tail strap continue the non-slip theme of this rug, even when rolling or laying down.
You'll love the reflective strips, wipe-clean tail cord, contoured detachable turnout hood and liner loops, making this rug compatible with the Horseware® liner range to give you multiple rugging options with just one fantastic turnout rug!

The right size rug keeps your horse comfortable and stops rubbing and slipping. Horseware makes many styles to suit all shapes and sizes, so check each rug's details too.
How to measure
Horses of the same height at the wither come in many shapes and sizes, so take your horse's measurements:
- Using a soft measuring tape, measure from (A), the centre of the chest, across the point of the shoulder to (B), the centre of the tail.
- Take 10cm (4 inches) off that measurement and find your horse's size in the table below.
Every horse is different, so the tables are a guide only.

Which rug style suits my horse?
- Straight front: for an average build, a classic neck cut, or a V-Front for extra comfort.
- V-Front: for a deep-shouldered, narrow horse, a Surefit design with V-Front closure.
- Disc front: for a narrow-chested horse, a rug with the Disc Front closure.
- XL: for a deep-shouldered horse with a deep neck and wide build. The XL cut is 20% deeper in the neck and sides.
- Optimo: the same broad build can also go for Optimo rugs, which give the most freedom of movement.
- Wug: for high-withered, narrow horses, the Wug® reduces wither pressure. For very narrow or young horses, Wug® or All-In-One designs help the rug fit and stop it slipping.
