At 250g, this is considered a mid-to-heavy weight rug, best suited for temperatures below 10°C (50°F).
Yes, the neck cover is fully detachable, allowing you to use the rug as a standard turnout if desired.
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail. Ensure the rug fits square across the shoulders.
Yes, it comes with removable elastic leg straps to keep the rug secure during high winds.
The polyester outer shell is designed to be breathable to prevent the horse from overheating while still remaining waterproof.
Adjust the chest fastenings to be more symmetrical and ensure the belly surcingles are tightened equally on both sides.
Wash the rug with a specialized rug wash to remove dirt/grease that clogs pores, then re-apply a DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if needed.
Check that the wither pad is positioned correctly and ensure the front fastenings aren't adjusted too tightly.
To achieve the best fit, ensure the chest clips are centered to prevent the rug from shifting to one side. Always double-check the tightness of the crossed belly surcingles; they should be snug enough to prevent movement but allow for a hand-width of space.
When attaching the neck cover, ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are fully engaged to prevent gaps where moisture could enter. For care, gently brush off dried mud with a soft-bristled brush. To clean the rug, hose it down with cold water or use a dedicated turnout rug wash. Avoid harsh detergents or hot water, as these can damage the waterproof coating on the polyester shell. Always allow the rug to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before folding or storing.
