FAQs
Is this rug machine washable?
It is recommended to hose down the rug and use a mild specialized detergent if necessary. Avoid machine washing to preserve the waterproof integrity of the fabric.
Can I use this rug in freezing winter conditions?
The 200g fill is intended for moderate temperatures. For extreme winter cold, a higher grammage fill or an additional liner may be required.
How do I choose the correct size?
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to determine the appropriate length in feet and inches.
Does this rug include leg straps?
This model utilizes an adjustable tail cord to keep the rug in place, which is often preferred for less interference with the hind legs.
Is the material ripstop?
The 600D polyester outer is designed for durability and weather resistance in standard turnout conditions.
Can this rug be left on 24/7?
It is recommended to inspect the horse and the rug daily to check for rubbing, ensure the straps are tight, and allow the horse's coat to breathe.
Troubleshooting
Rug slipping to one side
Check that the cross surcingles are tightened evenly and that the chest closure is correctly adjusted.
Moisture buildup underneath
Ensure the horse was completely dry before rugging; if the rug is saturated, allow it to fully air dry before reuse.
Tail cord coming loose
Ensure the tail cord is properly threaded and knotted securely at the desired length after each use.
Pros and Cons

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the surcingle straps are adjusted so that approximately one hand's width fits between the strap and the horse's belly. Always secure the chest closures first to maintain alignment before fastening the cross surcingles. For care, gently brush off dried mud with a soft brush. If the rug becomes heavily soiled, hose it down with cold water and hang it in a shaded area to air dry. Do not use harsh detergents or high-pressure washers, as these can compromise the waterproof coating. Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
