Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up, place the rug gently over the horse's back, aligning the combo neck section properly over the crest. Secure the chest straps first to ensure the rug is positioned correctly, followed by the cross surcingles underneath the belly, ensuring they are snug but not tight. Adjust the tail cord to prevent the rug from slipping forward.
For care, it is recommended to brush off excess dirt and hair after use. When deep cleaning is necessary, use a mild, horse-safe rug wash and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents or high-heat drying, as these can degrade the insulation properties of the polyfill and the strength of the nylon lining. Always store in a cool, dry place when not in use to prevent mildew buildup.
