FAQs

What makes this bib suitable for sensitive skin?

The bib is made from soft, purpose-designed materials that minimize friction and irritation. It avoids abrasive fabrics or seams in critical areas.

Can I use this bib with turnout rugs?

This bib is specifically designed for use under stable rugs. It is not intended for use with turnout rugs as they typically have different fit requirements and exposure to the elements.

How often should I wash the anti-rub bib?

It's recommended to wash the bib as needed, typically when it appears soiled or loses its freshness. Regular washing according to the care instructions will maintain its effectiveness and hygiene.

What is the benefit of the faux fur flap?

The deep pile faux fur flap provides extra cushioning and comfort at the base of the neck, preventing rubs and irritation in this sensitive area, especially when the horse is resting its head.

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by LeMieux, which usually correlates with the horse's rug size. Ensure the bib covers the chest and shoulder points adequately without restricting movement.

Will this bib help with existing rubs?

While the bib is designed to prevent new rubs, it can also help protect existing sores from further irritation under rugs, aiding in the healing process. However, severe wounds should be treated by a veterinarian.

Can the belly strap be adjusted significantly?

Yes, the elasticated belly strap has adjustable points on both sides, allowing for a customized and secure fit to accommodate different horse shapes.

Troubleshooting

Bib slips or moves excessively

Check that the elasticated belly strap is securely fastened and adjusted correctly on both sides. Ensure the rug itself is not too loose and fits the horse properly.

Horse seems uncomfortable despite wearing the bib

Verify the bib is the correct size and that the straps are not too tight. Ensure there are no creases or bunching of the material.

Faux fur flap is matted after washing

Ensure the bib is washed in a protective bag and allowed to air dry naturally. Gentle brushing of the fur once dry may help restore its loft.
