FAQs
Is the Mackey Wicklow rug waterproof?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor turnout use and features weather-resistant materials.
Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?
While some industrial machines can handle it, it is recommended to use a commercial rug washing service or hand wash to protect the integrity of the 1680 Denier fabric.
What does 200g polyfil mean?
The 200g refers to the weight of the insulation. This is considered a medium-weight rug, suitable for cool autumn and winter days.
Are the leg straps replaceable?
Yes, the leg straps are detachable and can be replaced if they become damaged over time.
How do I ensure the best fit for my horse?
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the point of the rump. Consult the manufacturer size guide to match your measurement to the rug size.
Troubleshooting
Rug slipping or shifting to one side
Check that the surcingle straps are crossed correctly and adjusted to a length where you can fit a flat hand between the strap and the horse's belly.
Neck piece keeps coming loose
Ensure that the neck attachment points are free of hair or debris and that all fasteners are pressed firmly together.
Rubbing at the chest or shoulder
Loosen the chest buckles slightly and check if the neck cover is positioned too low, which can pull the shoulders back.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Mackey Wicklow rug, start by ensuring you have the correct size for your horse by measuring from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail. When putting it on, attach the chest closures first, followed by the surcingle straps to ensure the rug is centered. For the detachable neck, ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are fully aligned to prevent gaps. When it comes to care, brush off dried mud with a soft-bristled brush. If the rug requires a deep clean, wash it on a gentle cycle using a mild, non-detergent soap specifically designed for horse rugs, and always air dry it in a shaded area to maintain the water-repellent coating.
