What Herbb Horse Rug Owners are Saying

"Tosca’s new body hugger stable rug is fantastic as it has lots of stretch and she doesn’t mind me pulling it over her body. She can be a little nippy when putting on her normal rugs and hates me pulling them about to get buckles fastened. With the body rug she doesn’t flinch and having no buckles especially at the front is a game changer for her and myself. Being a Clydesdale x warm blood 16 .3 in her advancing years at 30. This rug is keeping her very warm and comfortable both in and out of her stable. We live in Scotland and the temperature changes every five minutes so it’s nice to know what ever over rug she has she will always be cosy with her body hugger. Definantly I would recommend this rug to all horses owners."

"" Just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the rugs I have, my horse loves them and even puts his Just wanted to tell you how pleased I am with the rugs I have, my horse loves them and even puts his head down to have them put on! He is a lovely horse and had a bad start in life leaving him with very sensitive skin so I do my upmost to make him comfortable. Your rug designs have really helped him, so thanks again for all your help " Kate Dobb & her Thoroughbred, Gringley-on-the-Hill,Doncaster, 22 April 2020 "

"I was searching online for a hypoallergenic rug for one of our horses who was battling with severe Urticaria. Part of the stable management protocol we had to put into place to try to manage his condition, as advised by our vet, was to keep rugging to a minimum so we needed something made from natural fibres that shavings would not easily cling to, and that was ideally anti static The rug has been just what we needed. It is close fitting so really comfortable for him to wear, now used as a base layer in this colder weather It is non-static which is much better for him. It is washable in my machine at home so is easy to keep clean. It can be safely worn on the horse-walker. We have been so pleased with the rug that we have just taken delivery of another one for our other horse who is on box rest post surgery as this fits his specials needs perfectly too.Thank you for an excellent product M Roberts"

"As promised a review of your amazing rugs. I use these as stable, under and travel rugs. The cotton is unreal keeps my ponies coats amazing, no rubs and they don’t move. Nothing sticks to them either. They wash well on a quick cycle and dry very quickly. I can highly recommend these rugs, I have purchased the fly rug ready for summer too! "

"I can highly recommend Herbb Rugs. My horse Whistler has suffered with hives for a long time and these rugs have helped him so much. They don’t stick to him and are so soft and cool. You can use them underneath rugs in the cooler and warmer weather indoors and out. They wash and dry very well. Just shake and all bedding just falls off. I am so delighted with them I have ordered another two to my collection. I have spent so much time looking for comfortable rugs for this chap and now I have found them. Hives so much better and non existent at the moment. One very happy customer. Thank you Julia. Maria Stephens & her 16.2 Hannoverian Penperlleni. Monmouthshire"

"" Loving my Herbb rug..It has come in so handy on the yard with the horses. We have been using it as a base layer for when the horses are clipped and it is doing a great job keeping them warm clean. We have also been using the Body Hugger after washing the horses down after exercise as it does a great job of drying them off and keeping them warm at the same time.. Highly recommend these great rugs " Josh Betts & his team of show jumping horses, Crawley, East Sussex."

""I love my Herbb rug. It is excellent as a base layer for the colder months as there are no seams for rubbing. I also use it on its own now the weather is turning colder in the evenings.. also put it on after a bath for drying off " - Mrs Collyer & her 22 yr old Lusitano gelding."

"These arrived last week for my mare with sensitive skin and they are lovely! Supersoft, lightweight cotton, no clips or buckles and robustly made, they feel incredible - beginning to wonder if they make comfortable clothes for humans too!"

"The versatile Body Hugger from Herbb Horse Rugs came in handy again when Rubin's rhapsody (Doris) was badly bitten by mystery insects! The 'bumps' turned to seeping scabs which needed bathing and keeping sterile. Thankfully I could use the organic cotton bodyhugger as an under rug that could be easily washed and dried each day as well as being super lightweight and breathable so as not to aggravate or overheat the very itchy bites! Thankyou Herbb!!"

"Thank you for making and marketing such a brilliant piece of equipment! We have a barn that is open on its southern face. Even though there is a small, protective, half-wall between the stall aisle and the the stall doors, with a wet winter, it is hard to store hay close to the stalls. Our first cover really made our lives easier this winter and early spring, allowing us to have at least one bale on-hand, covered, in the aisle. Our new cover will allow us to do quick picks of the stalls in the spring, summer, and fall, then cover the smart cart, eliminating access to flies and other biting insects, saving trips to the manure pile! We are thrilled!"

"I should like to say how pleased I am with the Original Bodyhugger rug which I bought this winter for my 16.1 sports horse. I have used it mainly as an under-rug for her turnout rugs where it has provided an amazing amount of extra warmth whilst preventing any rubbing. I have now bought the Elite rug too as she will be wintering out again next year. Overall I am a very satisfied customer! - Jenny Cooper, Wolversely, chidderminster"

""My aged mare and I heaved a sigh of relief when we discovered Herbb Body Huggers. She is difficult to fit, rug-wise, as she is long with shoulders right at the front. That drawstring fit is a real boom, once you've discovered how to fit it. They are a dream to wash, dry quickly without a tumble dryer, and very comfortable (mare says). No problem slipping them over her head, she positively makes a dive for it when presented with the rolled up rug! We've just got her second one on the way, as she loves them as liners in this very cold weather.", Antonia Robb, Netheravon, Salibury"

"I have 2 rugs, a Medium and Lightweight. These rugs are well made and a very useful addition to a horse's wardrobe for all seasons. The rugs fit the horse nicely and the horse's love them. An Innovative product suitable for all horses and ponies summer and winter ""

"Herbb rugs have been a revelation for my grey mare, who has very sensitive skin and is prone to rub rugs and patches of irritated skin on her back. Since using the Herbb 'Body Hugger' rug as both a day rug and an extra layer at night, I've found all rubs have cleared up and the skin on her back is less irritated - I'm sure the breathable, natural fabric is helping her heal. The rug is also so light and easy to put on and wash on a regular basis." "

"We have been delighted with your body hugger rug with belly band. The cotton next to our problem horse's skin has been wonderful. It is the only rug (and we have tried many!) that has prevented her from itching. Even our vet commented on what a useful rug it is. I highly recommend it!" Jamie Ball Hooker, MFH"

"I heard about Herbb rugs from positive forum comments and thought that's just what I want. Natural fibre under rug, no buckles and home machine washable. Perfect, thankyou."

"Very pleased with my Herbb rug, it keeps Arquera's coat clean and flat, and no rubs, plus it washes and dries easily - a plus when you have a stinky mare! After seeing mine, at least 2 liveries have either purchased one or plan too, and I will be ordering another once January is out the way. Great rug, great service, thank you"

"I just had to post to say what a fab service I have received from Herbb rugs, after receiving my rug for my horse it was unfortunately a bit snug due to her extremely deep neck/chest so I contacted Herbb who didn't hesitate to have it sent back to be altered, which I did and I can't believe it was posted, altered and returned in less than a week and now fits like a glove. Can't recommend them enough and I will definitely be ordering another in the future"

"My daughter's Connemara has been suffering from severe itching/allergies for 6 months now. Skin tests revealed (amongst other things!) an allergy to certain moulds On the recommendation of our vet we bought a Herbb Body Hugger to try; this has proved really helpful for his condition providing a light, soft, comfortable, breathable layer between his body and his outer rugs, which can be easily washed and dried in the washing machine. We have since bought a second one so we have one to use whilst the other is in the wash. Whilst the rug is not a cure for his underlying problems, it is proving really useful in helping us to manage his condition, protect his skin, and keep him comfortable, and has been well worth the investment. Even for a horse without skin problems, these rugs are a great idea, and I would highly recommend them!" "

"I have a 2 year old that I have just bought and she has rain scald all over from when I bought her. The body hugger rug has been a godsend because I can treat her and the body hugger rug keeps her skin dry and prevents her skin becoming reinfected when I replace her NZ rug. I can easily wash the liner and it has been more comfortable against her skin when we have washed away the scabs and sores. The body hugger rugs are great protection against rubbing and the breathable material is superb against the horses skin and I have noticed that they have healthier shinier coats since using them ""

"The Herbb Body Hugger rug is the most useful rug in my tack room. I use it for travelling, day rug, under rug and cooler. An essential part of my show equipment""

"Univer has sweet itch, and I have found fly rugs too hot indoors,your rug is a big success it is very comfortable for him and he keeps cooler, also easy to use and clean. We will use this rug a lot ""

"Just to let you know, I am over the moon with my wheelbarrow cover. It is good quality and I think it will last me a very long while. It will save me so much time, as I won't have to go back and pick up all the straw I normally drop! Many Thanks Kim"

"Really impressed with my Herbb rug. Using it on overnight at present, but will also be great as an extra layer in the winter. Highly recommend. Seamless so no rubbing""

"I loved my lightweight Herbb rug so much I bought another one! Great product unlike anything else on the market. The rug is high quality and easy to use. I originally bought it for travelling as it looks very smart but will be also using it as an under rug. Great customer service.""

"Hi, Very pleased with the Body Hugger rug. Lovely cornflower colour looks stunning on my bay Quarter Horse mare. Used it for a stable rug overnight and to travel in. Kept her comfortable and clean. Had lots of complements from people at the show. Plan to use it in the autumn as an under rug. Will definitely recommend. Thank you. Christine & Lou Lou. "

"Dear Julia, Today I received my medium weight Herbb rug and I am so pleased with it. It fit's Freddie really well and he looks very cosy in it. Thank you so much for all your help with the size. I will recommend the rugs to all my friends. Many Thanks,"

"We have found the new Wheelbarrow cover recently purchased from Herbb as a really useful addition to our stabling equipment. It fits our barrows perfectly and it is so nice to be able to get a full barrow to the muck trailer without half of the contents blowing across our car park on a windy day! Westons Veterinary Centre, Manor Farm, Norwich"

"Yes, I was very pleased with the herbb body hugger. When I bought my connie in April he'd been partially clipped and double rugged all winter to get his coat to shed. I used the body hugger under a no-fill turnout rug to get him accustomed to wearing less rugs. I loved the fact that it went on so easily and no clips to do up. I also stabling him at night at the time and kept the body hugger on when he came in and just used a thin fleece on top. "

"I can say your service was excellent. As far as I can see the rug fits my horse very well. The proof will be in winter when he`s wearing it most of the time. So far though everything is good and I`m satisfied."

"Hamish my Thoroughbred,has one of the Herbb Bibs now and I have had the chance to use it recently and it's been fantastic! It's going to be my saviour in the winter months to stop his rugs rubbing! "

"I have found that the Herbb "Body Hugger" has worked as a fantastic non slip cozy layer for my Thoroughbred Hamish, staying in place both as a warm under rug or just on its own. He has come into the summer with no shoulder rubs and with a shiny coat wearing the Body Hugger!"

"Herbb has a great product which has helped my horse who has skin issues, totally natural and with no buckles or straps. This is backed up by a friendly and efficient service. I recommend anyone to try this company. Thank you Julia."

"My horse was very itchy and just kept biting herself across her back and got quite stressed. I bought one of the Herbb Body Huggers and she stopped itching almost over night. It is a very soft, natural body hugger made from bamboo/cotton and it has made so much difference to her, she is a lot happier. My pony wears it under her stable rug and her outdoor rug, she doesn't get over heated as it is a natural material and therefore breathes. I would recommend the Herbb Body Hugger to anyone for their animals!!!"

"The rugs have been working well, as they allow the horse to cool down comfortably. We have been using them as under rugs for horses post surgery. They are easy to put on and none of the horses have objected to them going over their head. The rugs have remained in place well and the organic cotton does have a superior feel – which I am sure you are aware " I hope this is of some help and we will continue to use them."
