While some industrial machines can accommodate horse rugs, hand-washing with a pressure hose and soft brush is safer for the integrity of the waterproof coating.
Yes, it can be used for stabling, but ensure your horse has adequate ventilation, as the rug is designed with waterproof properties that may cause warmth to build up faster than a standard stable sheet.
This model utilizes a tail cord and cross surcingle system, which is standard for this design to maintain stability without the need for leg straps.
600D refers to the denier, or the thickness of the individual fibers in the fabric. A 600D rating offers a good balance of durability and flexibility for turnout.
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail in inches or centimeters to ensure the correct fit based on your rug size.
Check that the surcingles are adjusted evenly and snugly, and ensure the tail cord is properly threaded and adjusted to prevent the back of the rug from pulling.
The waterproof coating may need refreshing; use a specialized rug re-proofing spray after washing to restore the breathable water-repellent layer.
Ensure the chest straps are not too tight, and consider using a silk or satin shoulder guard underneath the rug to reduce friction.
To set up the rug, start by draping it over the horse's back, ensuring the neck cover aligns comfortably. Secure the chest closures first, followed by the low cross surcingles, and finally the tail cord. For cleaning, use a soft brush to remove loose dirt and mud once dry. If a deep clean is necessary, wash with cool water and a mild, non-detergent soap specifically formulated for horse rugs. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents, as these can strip the waterproof coating. Always allow the rug to air dry thoroughly in a shaded area before storing to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
