Really wet today so I treated my pony to an upgrade of his rainsheet. It hasn’t moved on him and despite him being chunky it provides good freedom of movement. It’s light but he’s totally snug in it.

The Boxter Turnout is the winner of the 2024 Equitana Business Awards Horse Innovation Category!
Our Boxter Turnouts were designed for your horse's comfort as the priority. We wanted to consider their true freedom to graze, freedom to move as well as their safety in the paddock, and ensure waterproof, robust and breathable fabric again for their comfort and protection.
Freedom to graze for us meant taking pressure away from under the neck, freedom to move meant looking at how the shoulder/scapula of the horse truly moves and safety in the paddock meant a front closure that was safe and secure in terms of fit while also being safe from catching on haynets or some types of fencing.
Both our Boxter Dart and our Field Safe Front Closure have been approved with design protections for being unique in the world and purposeful in their intention.
Of course, if we are designing a rug for the comfort of your horse, it is not complete without being waterproof and breathable with a rating of 10,000/10,000mm, durable with its 1200D polyester fabric, and versatile with it's liner compatibility, detachable neck cover included which has been positioned to give it a little lift off the base of the mane so when the horse is reaching down it reduces friction on the horse's mane, without affecting the fit or movement of the rug itself.
Overall rating: 4.9 / 5 from 58 reviews.

I now have two of these rugs. I love them. They fit really well. I like the tail flap and just the overall fit of the whole rug. I highly recommend this rug. These photos don’t show the true colour of the rug. A beautiful lilac colour with the green trim. Looks really nice.

Store owner replied: so glad you love it Jenny, thank you for your feedback.
Great fit and so versatile with the liners. I have these for both horses in most thicknesses. Also it is the prettiest of colours. The field safe front gives you peace of mind when feeding with haynets.

Love the rug, my horses are toasty and dry only down side which is why I did 4 stars is they are so expensive

Store owner replied: Hey Megan, thank you so much for your feedback. Super happy that your horses are toasty and dry! We appreciate your feedback including on the price. We understand everything feels tough at the moment, I am so grateful for my horses as they are a huge relief away from the outside world but they also are an added pressure with the cost of keeping them. I wanted to just share with you that our prices don't come from nowhere. When we started we said we wanted to make the best horse rug we possibly could, but make it accessible to more equestrians. This means we have not followed the industry standard for setting our pricing, we've chosen to hold our prices lower than what they should be so that the more horses we can make feel comfortable and protected, the better we achieve our mission first and foremost, and then we can offset that pricing by the more horses being in them. We put an immense amount into product development and detail, and with that comes some costs. We really value and appreciate the customers who choose to shop with us for their horses, so thank you very much, and we will keep working on our product range for more horses to enjoy.
I loved this rug so much I have bought another as soon as I could, the 200g boxter turnout this time along with the cotton liner. The most important thing for me was fit- my girl has a high wither and low set neck and I struggle to find a rug that doesn’t strangle her when she puts her head down. This rug is so roomy around the front, but it doesn’t slip back one bit, so even with the horseware liner inside it doesn’t pull on her. It’s also nice and light despite being sturdy. We have had so much wet weather and she has stayed completely dry. She has also worn it on a very wet but warmer day with the 3d liner underneath and not got hot at all.

Fantastic rug. Super waterproof. The shoulder gussets are actually at the right place - suits my broad-shouldered gypsy cob really well. So far has stood up to his paddock antics and doesn't slip around either.

Absolute lifesaver. My ottb Indy was a real struggle to keep warm and dry in wet weather. He loves playing and rolling in the mud and every other rug I've purchased for him gets muddy and waterlogged and drags over, causing the legstraps to give him a painful wedgie. This rug fits beautifully and stays put; it really is self-righting, plus the fabric actually seems to repel the mud. I was super concerned about using a fillet string rather than leg straps, but it's been absolutely perfect for him. Looking forward to expanding his Leader Equine wardrobe and getting some Leader rugs for my mares also.

I love these rugs … nearly a year old now and just brought them in from cyclone conditions here in NZ … heavy rain and 130km/h wind … all 3 horses bone dry and rugs stayed securely in place ! Very impressive

My boy, Tax, looking very handsome in his new LE Boxter Turnout 0g rainsheet. I really love this rug. Great fit and I absolutely love the colour. Leader Equine products are great. Always happy with my purchases.

Fits amazing with heaps of shoulder clearance and doesn’t pull back on the wither. Holds out very well in heavy rain. Couldn’t be happier with purchase!!
Jenna S. 5/5 Verified
I think this is my most favorite rug ever; totally waterproof 0gm with the ability to add liners for warmth in winter. This rug is so versatile as it can be worn for 3 seasons of the year. It also looks great and the safety features are brilliant. Thank you Leader Equine
Dawn S. 5/5 Verified
Such a great fitting rug! This is my first time purchasing one of these and the quality and fit of this rug was so impressive, I’ve just gone and brought the 200g version as well! Heavy downpours all night and Charlie is still dry and happy - not a heavy sopping soaked rug in sight.

This is my third boxter rug purchase and I’m still in awe at just how incredible they are, the fit, quality and the new colour just makes me so happy! 🪻

Absolutely LOVE this rug. My young horse runs hot and this rug keeps him warm on those days that are windy and raining but still over 10 degrees. Fits like it was custom made for him and I love that it moves with him and always stays in place. A definite MUST buy for those considering a quality rug that’s totally waterproof and windproof but light. Thank you again Leader Equine.

Absolutely LOVE this rug, I wish I bought one earlier! I absolutely love all the features, ergonomic design and the fit is perfect. The tail flap is very generous, the shoulder gusset is large, the neck length is long and generous, and there is good size to allow for movement and hoods to sit well underneath without bulking. 15/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

Was concerned as I am used to using combo’s with leg straps - well I am converted!! Absolutely love the fit and the neck rug velcros! The rug hasn’t moved after several days without being taken off. Just about to buy another for the second horse!

Another LE rug to add to the collection!! All my horses are rugged by LE and they have never looked/been so comfortable until now. They fit from my slim built 16.3hh TB to my 18.3 broad Warmblood! 110% recommend.

As it isn’t cold but light showers horse just has the rug only on. Waterproof & great fit. True to size. Horse is 16.2 but compact & fits a 6’3” rug.

This is the perfect light weight summer rain sheet where the horses won’t get too hot during the intense Australian summer storms while keeping them nice and dry. Could not recommend enough, they are so durable and have never had a broken LE rug. I have some very happy ponies now 🥰
Jane T. 5/5 Verified
Love this rug, I have been converted from Amigo Bravo rugs to Leader rugs. The fit is great for horses with big shoulders and broader chested warmbloods. I will definitely purchase others ! Horse in the picture is 17'3hh Thoroughbred. Generally 6'9 to 7' ft rug size, The rug in the photo is 7'. Could have gone 6'9 but opted for the extra room.

Store owner replied: It makes our day when we hear how people feel about the Boxter turnout rugs! And we always appreciate a gorgeous horse pic! Thank you for your comments Nicole.
Wow! What great rugs - I am really impressed with the fit of them. They fit my boys perfectly. Leader Equine also were really helpful with sizing advice and I am so glad I went with the sizes I did. A 5’6 for the pony and a 6’3 for the big horse. I also really like the safety of the front fastenings and I am really happy with how they fit - especially around the chest and the bum coverage! Other brands my ponies bum would hang out but the cut of this rug means he can take his usual size and he is nice and protected. ⭐️ ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ I look forward to purchasing more rugs from Leader Equine.

Store owner replied: Oh wow right back! thank you for your comments and the lovely photos of your horses in their Boxters! We are always happy to help, thank you.
Fits my big 18.3 warmblood amazing. Weatherbeeta rugs and horseware ones always have his poor bum out but this rug fits like it was made for him! So happy

Store owner replied: Kate I can't tell you how happy it makes me to read this! It's that feeling of 'yessss this is the rug for my horse!!!!!" that we are always chasing for our customers! Thank you so much for your review and we are so delighted your big guy is enjoying his Boxter!
Since the release of the boxter rug I’ve been waiting for this one to be added to the collection and it’s been worth the wait! I love everything about it and so happy to finally have a waterproof rug that fits my horse perfectly without slipping or rubbing!
Sophie H. 5/5
The rug is nice, especially the light colour which will reflect the sun on a sunny cold day, The chest I find a bit fiddly with this 0g rug. It’s just sort of an internal flap that feels a bit complicated.
Miranda D. 4/5 Verified
This is the second LE turnout that I have purchased the first was the LE 50g and its in it’s second season and I love it! The rugs fit, they are water proof! even after days of rain and mud, they do not roll over to one side. I purchased the 0g for the warmer rainy season.
Rosalie R. 5/5 Verified
The fit is fantastic and it's the perfect turnout for my fluffy Percheron cross mare - keeps her warm and dry without her overheating. The colour is awesome too!
Sue J. 5/5 Verified
The rug is a great fit, the only thing I really dislike is the front closures. The buckles are very awkward to get done up, it’s really hard on the muscles in your hands.
Christine G. 3/5 Verified
Store owner replied: Hi Christine, love to hear you find the rug a good fit. I have some tips for the front closure. When you go to open the rug, open the front velcro and then the back bib, only then do the clips as it's easier, and when closing the rug, close the clips first, then sweep your hand behind to close the bib and then do the front velcro. And if your horse is putting his head down just stick your shoulder under his neck. There are some very good reasons for our front closure, which is called the Field Safe Front and is design protected. It uses the bib so no clips sit against the chest but the fabric remains lightweight and comfortable, the T-Bar clips are very secure and lie flat so we don't create pressure points, the front velcro sandwich keeps everything protected from fencing and haynets so is secure. The combination of this shape of front with the Boxter Dart makes a very comfortable front end of rug for horses to wear. It takes pressure off when they graze, and through the shoulder. Hope this helps :)

This size guide is just that, a guide! There will be some individuality depending on breed/type and build. If your horse measures 195cm we would suggest taking the 6’6 because you are very close to being that size, however if your horse is super narrow build you might find when you get it that you are better with the size down. Likewise if your horse measures 185cm, we would suggest sticking with 6’0 as you are only just over that size and the LE Boxter Turnouts have some room and flexibility in the chest due to their Field Safe front closure and Boxter Dart.
