FAQs
Is this rug machine washable?
Yes, but it should be washed using a specialized rug wash that does not strip the waterproof coating.
Can I add a neck cover to this rug?
This model is a standard neck design and does not feature attachment points for a detachable neck cover.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to determine the correct sizing in feet and inches.
Does the 200g fill provide enough warmth for winter?
It is considered a medium-weight rug, which is generally perfect for autumn or mild winter days, but may need a base layer for very cold snaps.
Is the material rip-stop?
The rug is constructed from durable polyester designed for typical turnout wear and tear.
Troubleshooting
The rug is slipping to one side.
Check that the cross surcingles are tightened evenly and that the fit is not too loose around the chest.
Water is soaking through the rug.
The waterproof coating may have worn off; apply a professional-grade reproofing spray or wash-in treatment.
Rubbing marks appearing at the shoulders.
Ensure the rug is the correct size for the horse; consider using a shoulder guard or liner if the horse has a high-wither or broad-shoulder profile.
Pros and Cons
Pros

- Breathable material prevents skin irritation and overheating

- Requires regular re-waterproofing treatment over time
- Not suitable for extremely harsh, sub-zero winters on its own
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the front surcingles are fastened snugly so the rug does not slip behind the wither. The cross surcingles should be adjusted so that roughly a hand's width can fit between the straps and the horse's belly. For maintenance, it is recommended to brush off dried mud regularly to preserve the waterproof membrane. When the rug becomes heavily soiled, wash it in a dedicated equine washing machine using a non-detergent soap designed for waterproof horse rugs. Always air dry the rug in a shaded, well-ventilated area—never use a tumble dryer, as heat can damage the waterproof coating.
