Its primary benefit is the durable nylon construction, offering excellent resistance to wear and tear, ensuring longevity.

'Medium Turnout' generally refers to conditions that are not extreme, such as moderate rain, wind, or cooler temperatures, typically found in spring, autumn, or mild winter days. It indicates the rug offers a balance of protection and breathability for such weather.
No, this is a 'Combo' turnout rug, which means the neck cover is integrated and not detachable.
While it offers good protection for medium conditions, for very cold or harsh winter weather, you may need to consider a rug with a higher fill (e.g., a heavy weight rug) or use the medium rug with a warm underblanket.
Rug sizes are typically based on the length of the rug from the chest to the tail. Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the point of the rump and consult the brand's sizing chart.
Wash the rug only when it is visibly dirty or if its performance (like waterproofing) is compromised. Over-washing can reduce the rug's lifespan and its protective properties.
The durable nylon material offers a physical barrier against many biting insects. However, for severe fly seasons, additional fly protection measures may be recommended.
Check the fit. Ensure the rug is not too tight or too loose. Adjust fastenings and ensure the surcingles are correctly positioned. Ensure no seams are directly over pressure points.
The rug may need re-waterproofing. Use a reputable rug reproofing spray or wash after cleaning according to care instructions.
Ensure the fastenings are clean and free from debris. If they are stiff, a small amount of silicone lubricant can help. Check for any damage to the straps or buckles.
Ensure the main body of the rug is fitted correctly first. Some neck covers have adjustable straps; ensure these are set appropriately for your horse's conformation.
Setup: Ensure the rug is clean and dry before fitting. Lay it over the horse's back, aligning the shoulder darts correctly. Secure the front fastenings, followed by the leg straps, ensuring a snug but not tight fit. Check that the surcingles are fastened comfortably.
Compatibility: This rug is designed for general horse turnout. While the 'Combo' design integrates a neck cover, always ensure it provides adequate coverage for your specific horse's needs and any potential irritants like biting insects. It is most suitable for horses turned out in medium weather conditions.
Care: Machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle. Use a specialized rug wash or mild non-biological detergent. Do not tumble dry. Air dry naturally away from direct heat. Ensure the rug is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew. Re-waterproofing may be necessary periodically to maintain its protective qualities.
