FAQs

How do I ensure the best fit for my horse?

Measure your horse's chest and ensure the bib covers the areas prone to rubbing. The belly straps should be snug but allow two fingers to fit underneath. The wither guard should sit smoothly over the wither.

Can this bib be worn with turnout rugs?

Yes, the durable construction makes it suitable for both stable and turnout use.

How often should I wash the bib?

Wash as needed, typically when it becomes soiled or after prolonged use. Always secure Velcro before washing.

What is the primary material used?

The bib primarily uses friction-free polyester with 4-way stretch bamboo in the chest and wither areas.

Will this stop all rug rubs?

It significantly reduces friction and helps prevent common rubs. However, a poorly fitting rug is a primary cause of rubs, and this bib works best with well-fitting rugs.

Can I put the bib in the tumble dryer?

No, do not tumble dry. Allow the bib to air dry to preserve the integrity of the materials.

Troubleshooting

Bib is slipping or moving excessively

Ensure the belly straps are secured tightly enough, but not so tight they are uncomfortable. Check that the wither guard is positioned correctly.

Horse is still rubbing in certain areas

Verify the bib is the correct size and fitted without bunching. Consider if the rug itself may need adjusting or if the bib is not positioned to protect the specific rubbing area.

Velcro is no longer holding securely

Clean the Velcro hooks and loops by brushing away any debris. If damage has occurred, consider repair or replacement.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively reduces rubbing and chafing under rugs.
  • The bamboo material offers breathability and comfort.
  • The design stays in place well due to the belly straps.
  • Protects the wither area from rug pressure.
  • Versatile for use in both stable and turnout situations.

Cons

  • May require careful fitting to avoid bunching.
  • Requires securing Velcro before washing to maintain effectiveness.
  • Not a substitute for addressing underlying rug fit issues.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Simply place the bib over the horse's head and chest, ensuring the wither guard sits comfortably over the wither. Secure the elasticated belly straps using the strong Velcro fastening, adjusting for a snug but not tight fit. Ensure there is no bunching of material.

Compatibility: This bib is designed to be worn under standard horse rugs. It is most effective when used with rugs that might otherwise cause friction. Ensure the rug fits correctly over the bib without creating additional pressure points.

Care: Machine washable at 30°C. Crucially, ensure all Velcro fastenings are secured before washing to prevent damage to the bib and other laundry items. Allow the bib to air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the materials.
