The LeMieux Friction Free Bib is designed for horses prone to rubbing and chafing, particularly under rugs. Its key benefit is providing a smooth, protective layer that minimizes friction, offering comfort and preventing hair loss or skin irritation. A potential caveat is ensuring the correct fit to maximize its effectiveness and prevent shifting.

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.
Yes, the durable construction makes it suitable for both stable and turnout use.
Wash as needed, typically when it becomes soiled or after prolonged use. Always secure Velcro before washing.
The bib primarily uses friction-free polyester with 4-way stretch bamboo in the chest and wither areas.
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.
No, do not tumble dry. Allow the bib to air dry to preserve the integrity of the materials.
Ensure the belly straps are secured tightly enough, but not so tight they are uncomfortable. Check that the wither guard is positioned correctly.
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.
Clean the Velcro hooks and loops by brushing away any debris. If damage has occurred, consider repair or replacement.
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.
