What does 0g, 100g or 200g mean?
The gram rating describes the amount of insulating fill in the cover. A 0g rain sheet has no insulating fill, while higher gram weights provide progressively more insulation.

HORSE COVER GUIDE
Choosing the Right Horse Cover Weight
The right horse cover depends on more than temperature. Clipping, coat, age, body condition, shelter, wind, rain and whether the horse lives in or out all influence how much protection may be appropriate.
Do clipped horses need warmer covers?
Clipping removes some of the horse's natural insulating coat, so clipping is an important part of deciding on a starting cover weight alongside weather, shelter and the individual horse.
Does rain and wind change the recommendation?
Yes. Outdoor horses exposed to persistent rain and cold wind may need more weather protection than a sheltered horse at the same air temperature. For turnout, waterproofing is particularly important.
How do I know if my horse is too hot or cold?
Check your horse regularly under the cover and watch for sweating, dampness, shivering or changes in comfort. Conditions can change quickly, so the cover or layering may need to change too.
