Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this rug be worn in heavy rain?

No, this rug features a water-repellent back panel designed for light rain showers only, not heavy or prolonged downpours.

Is the hood removable?

Yes, the hood is fully detachable to provide flexibility depending on the weather conditions.

How do I wash the rug?

Use a gentle wash cycle with mild soap. Avoid harsh detergents that can strip the water-repellent properties of the fabric.

Will the hood rub my horse's mane?

The hood includes a soft inner lining specifically designed to minimize mane friction and breakage.

Is it suitable for winter use?

No, this is a lightweight fly rug designed for spring, summer, and autumn; it does not provide the thermal insulation required for winter.

Troubleshooting

The rug is sliding backward

Check that the chest buckles are tight enough and the cross-over belly straps are adjusted to hold the rug in place.

Signs of rubbing around the shoulders

Loosen the chest buckles slightly or ensure the rug size is appropriate for the horse's build; ensure no debris is trapped in the lining.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, start by draping the main body over the horse's back, fastening the chest buckles and Velcro first to establish the correct position. Adjust the cross-over belly straps so they are snug but allow for a hand's width between the strap and the horse's underside. Attach the hood securely using the provided connection points, ensuring the soft lining is flush against the crest of the neck. For maintenance, wash the rug on a gentle cycle with a mild, non-detergent soap to preserve the waterproof integrity of the back panel. Always air dry the rug out of direct, intense sunlight to prevent material degradation.
