Turnout - Rug Check

Lifestyle

$3.99 · Designed for iPad. Not verified for macOS.

Checks for Rain, Temperature and even Laminitis risk for the day ahead. Turnout answers one question every horse owner asks before breakfast: do they need a rug today, and if so which one? Tell it where your field is and a little about your horse, and it reads the forecast for your turnout hours specifically — not the whole day, and not the nearest town. WHAT IT TELLS YOU • Naked, rain sheet, 100g, 200g or 300g, with the reason in plain English • Why: "it's 8° but the wind makes it feel like 4°, and rain sets in at 11:00" • Warnings that matter: gusts strong enough to want strap checks, a swing warm enough that the rug should come off by lunch, ice in the trough • An hourly rainfall map, and where the rain is heading • Grass sugar and laminitis risk, based on soil temperature, brightness and a week of rainfall IT ASKS ABOUT YOUR HORSE A clipped thoroughbred and a native pony need different rugs on the same day. Turnout accounts for clip, type, age, field shelter and your actual turnout hours, including overnight turnout. For laminitis risk it also asks about previous episodes, EMS or PPID, body condition, cresty neck, workload and how grazing is managed — because who the horse is matters far more than what the weather is doing. GRASS AND LAMINITIS Grass makes sugar whenever it is bright, but only grows when the soil is warm enough. When those come apart, sugar builds up in the leaf. That is why frosty sunny mornings are the classic danger, and why the app will tell you there is no safe grazing window at all on some days rather than suggesting a better time. A DAILY NUDGE Turn on the reminder and it taps you on the shoulder an hour before turnout. It deliberately tells you nothing about the weather — it just opens the app, which fetches a fresh forecast there and then. NO ACCOUNT, NO ADS, NO TRACKING There is no sign-up, no advertising and no analytics. Your field and your horse stay on your phone. PLEASE STILL CHECK THEM YOURSELF This is a starting point built from a forecast, not a decision, and it is not veterinary advice. Slide a hand under the rug at the shoulder: warm and dry is right, damp or sweaty means too much. Over-rugging is more common than under-rugging. If you suspect laminitis, ring your vet the same day.
