Consider the horse as well as the forecast
Record coat, clipping, turnout or stabling, body condition, shelter and other care details, along with the rugs you own. Review temperature, rain and wind for the period you are planning.
Where a starting fill range is shown, consider it alongside the horse’s health, forage, acclimatisation and management. Human ‘feels like’ temperature is not used as a direct prescription for a horse’s rug.
Set when you leave and return
Save your leaving and return times for an away window. Routine rug updates pause during that window, while eligible severe-weather and extreme-heat warnings remain possible.
A return rug suggestion is due 30 minutes before the saved return time. Update the window when your plans change and arrange any necessary hands-on care separately.
Forecasts and alerts have limits
Local forecasts are supplied by WeatherAPI.com. Conditions at the yard can differ from the forecast, and phone alerts depend on permissions, settings, connectivity and service availability.
Check the horse and local conditions yourself. StableCue is a care-record and planning tool, not veterinary advice, an emergency warning service or a guarantee that a particular rug will suit every horse.
How to use it in StableCue
- Set the yard location and complete the horse’s relevant care and rug details.
- Choose a forecast period or save when you leave and return.
- Review the conditional starting option and check your horse and yard conditions before deciding.
Common questions
Does the app choose a rug from temperature alone?
No. The guidance also uses recorded horse and care details, weather conditions and the chosen period. Assess the individual horse and its management before choosing a rug.
Will I get routine rug changes while I am away?
Routine rug updates pause within a saved away window. Eligible severe-weather or extreme-heat warnings can still be sent, and a return suggestion is due 30 minutes before the saved return time. Delivery is best effort.
