Stable Storage Bags: Rug Bags from Kentucky Horsewear, LeMieux & Parajumpers | Emmers Equestrian
Your rugs are an investment, and a good storage bag keeps them clean, dry, and ready for the next season. Our stable storage bags come from Kentucky Horsewear, LeMieux, and Parajumpers, so you can pick a style that suits your tack room, your lorry, and your look. Use them to pack away summer sheets and winter turnout rugs, or to carry spare rugs to a show, with a bag that is as practical as it is good-looking.
The real risk in storage is not a splash of rain but trapped moisture: a rug packed away damp can develop mold or a musty smell over the months. That is why the best-prepared rugs are cleaned, completely dry, and then stored in a bag that keeps dust and dirt out, so they come out fresh and ready to wear in autumn or spring.
Tips for Choosing
- Check for damage first, then remove hair and mud, wash the rug, and let it dry completely before it goes into the bag. How well a rug comes out of storage depends more on this than on the bag itself.
- Choose a bag from the brand that matches your yard. Kentucky Horsewear, LeMieux, and Parajumpers each have their own look, so you can match your rug bag to your other bags and kit.
- Look at the product details for how much the bag holds. A single bag may take several lightweight sheets, but a bulky winter turnout rug takes more room than you expect.
- Think about where the bag will live. Check whether it has handles and straps for hanging or carrying and whether it suits stacking or hanging in your tack room.
- Plan for transport too. A sturdy bag with strong handles works for carrying spare rugs to a show or on the lorry, as well as for off-season storage.
Frequently asked questions
Should I wash a rug before storing it?
Yes. Remove hair and mud, wash it and make sure it is completely dry before storing, so that mould and smells do not develop over the months.
Which brands of rug bags does Emmers Equestrian have?
At Emmers Equestrian we stock rug bags from Kentucky Horsewear, LeMieux and Parajumpers. Each brand has its own styles and sizes, so check the product page for the exact capacity and features.
How many rugs fit in one bag?
It depends on the bag and on what you are storing. Several lightweight sheets fit in most standard bags, while one bulky winter turnout rug takes up noticeably more space.
Can I use a rug bag to transport rugs as well?
Yes. Many riders use their rug bag for spare rugs at competitions or on the lorry. Check the handles and size on the product page.
Will the bag protect my rugs from moths or rodents?
A bag keeps dust and dirt off, but is not guaranteed pest-proof. Store it somewhere dry and check it occasionally if moths or rodents are a known problem at your yard.
Should I hang the bag or store it flat?
Either can work. If you want to hang it in a tack room, check the product details for straps or hanging points.
