FAQs

What does 'denier' mean?

Denier is a unit of measurement that indicates the weight of the fabric's fibers. A higher denier number indicates a stronger and more durable fabric.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the end of the hindquarters. Refer to the size chart provided by Shires to determine the correct rug size.

Can I use this rug in winter?

The rug is suitable for milder winter days. For colder temperatures, use with a Warmarug liner.

How often should I wash the rug?

Wash the rug as needed, depending on use and soiling. Regular cleaning helps maintain its waterproof and breathable properties.

What is the benefit of a neck cover?

The neck cover provides added protection against the elements, keeping the horse's neck and shoulders dry and warm.

What is ripstop?

Ripstop is a fabric construction that incorporates a special reinforcing technique that makes it resistant to tearing and ripping.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping or rotating on the horse.

Adjust the chest straps, surcingles, and fillet strap to ensure a secure fit. Make sure the rug is the correct size for your horse.

Water leakage.

Check for tears or damage to the outer fabric. Ensure seams are intact. Re-proof the rug if necessary.

Rubbing or chafing.

Check the fit of the rug, paying attention to the shoulders and withers. Use a shoulder guard if needed. Ensure the horse's coat is clean.
