Product Information

Full details

Featuring a 600D waterproof outer and a 200g fiber fill, it provides essential warmth and protection against the elements, making it an excellent daily turnout option. While its robust design is highly functional, owners should ensure proper sizing to avoid slipping, as this is a standard-neck model without a hood.

FAQs

Is this rug machine washable?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle in cold water using a mild, non-biological detergent specifically made for horse rugs.

Can I add a neck cover to this rug?

This model is a standard-neck design and does not feature attachment points for a detachable neck cover.

What does 600D mean?

600D stands for 600 Denier, which refers to the thickness and durability of the polyester fiber used in the outer fabric.

Is this suitable for very cold winter nights?

The 200g fill is a medium weight. For horses that are fully clipped or living in extreme sub-zero conditions, you may need to layer an additional rug underneath.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail. Ensure the rug is not too large in the chest to prevent the neck opening from sagging.

Troubleshooting

The rug is slipping or sliding to one side.

Check that the cross surcingles are adjusted evenly and ensure the chest closure is secured to the correct tightness.

Water is soaking through the fabric.

The waterproof coating may have worn off. Wash with a rug-specific cleaner and re-apply a waterproofing spray or wash-in treatment.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable 600D material withstands typical field conditions
  • Waterproof and breathable fabric maintains horse comfort
  • Provides adequate warmth with 200g medium fill
  • Adjustable straps allow for a secure, customized fit

Cons

  • Standard neck design does not offer extra head or neck protection
  • Requires regular re-waterproofing after heavy seasonal use
  • Polyester material can be prone to snagging on sharp fence hardware

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your Mackey rug, follow these guidelines:

  1. Fitting: Place the rug gently over the horse's back. Buckle the chest straps first, followed by the cross surcingles. Ensure the cross surcingles have a hand's width of space between the straps and the horse's belly.
  2. Adjustments: Tighten the tail cord so that the rug sits snugly against the rump without being too tight. Over-tightening can cause the rug to pull forward.
  3. Cleaning: Remove dried mud with a soft brush. If the rug requires a deep clean, use a gentle hose down or a cold wash with a specialized non-detergent rug wash. Do not use biological detergents as they can strip the waterproof coating.
  4. Storage: Always dry the rug completely in a well-ventilated area before packing it away for the season to prevent mold growth.
