FAQs
Is this rug machine washable?
It is generally recommended to hose down or hand wash this rug to preserve the waterproof coating. Machine washing can degrade the specialized fabric finish.
Can I layer this with a heavy rug?
Yes, this can serve as a great base layer under a heavier turnout rug during extreme cold spells.
What does 600D mean?
600D refers to the denier of the fabric, which indicates the thickness and durability of the polyester yarn used in the outer shell.
Is the neck cover detachable?
This is a standard neck model and does not feature a detachable neck attachment.
How do I determine the right size for my horse?
Measure from the center of your horse's chest to the point of the buttocks to find the appropriate length in feet/inches.
Troubleshooting
Rug slipping to one side
Check that the low cross-surcingles are adjusted evenly and the front closures are not too loose.
Moisture buildup inside the rug
Ensure the horse has not been rugged up while still damp from sweat or heavy rain, and verify the rug is sized correctly for airflow.
Waterproofing seems less effective
Clean the outer shell of mud and debris; if the material is old, apply a professional-grade waterproof reproofer compatible with polyester turnout rugs.
Pros and Cons

- Waterproof protection keeps the horse comfortable in wet weather
- Breathable material prevents sweat buildup
- Easy-to-use front surcingle closures

- Not suitable for deep winter extreme cold

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rug, place it gently over the horse’s back, ensuring the front surcingles are fastened snugly but not tightly. Secure the low cross-surcingles under the belly with enough room to fit a hand width between the strap and the horse. Ensure the tail flap is positioned correctly to provide full coverage. To care for the product, brush off mud once dry and store in a cool, dry place. If the rug requires cleaning, hose it down with cold water or sponge-clean with mild, horse-safe detergent; avoid high-pressure washers, as these can strip the waterproof coating.
