Product Information

Full details

The Premier Equine Buster Hardy 200g Half Neck Turnout Rug is designed for horses needing protection from the elements without a full neck cover. Its key benefit is providing medium-weight warmth and waterproofing while relieving wither pressure. A potential consideration is that the half-neck design may not be suitable for horses requiring complete head and neck coverage from rain or wind.

FAQs

What is the fill weight of the Buster Hardy 200g Turnout Rug?

The Buster Hardy 200g Turnout Rug has a medium weight fill of 200 grams, providing warmth suitable for moderate weather conditions.

Is the half-neck design suitable for all horses?

The half-neck design is ideal for horses that need protection on their top neck and shoulders but may overheat with a full neck cover. It might not offer enough protection for horses needing complete coverage from severe weather.

How do I clean and care for this turnout rug?

Brush off loose dirt. Wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a specialized rug wash, avoiding harsh detergents. Air dry completely and reapply waterproofing as needed. Store in its original bag when dry.

What material is the rug made from?

The rug is made from durable 840 denier ballistic nylon.

Does this rug help with wither pressure?

Yes, the rug is innovatively designed to sit forward of the wither to help relieve pressure and prevent rubbing in that area.

Is the rug truly waterproof?

Yes, the rug is treated with Premier Equine's waterproof system to ensure it keeps your horse dry and comfortable, while also being breathable.

What are the benefits of the antibacterial and anti-static properties?

These properties help to maintain a clean and comfortable environment for your horse's coat, reducing irritation and static buildup.

Troubleshooting

Rug is leaking water

Ensure the rug is clean and dry. Reapply a suitable waterproof and breathable proofing treatment. Check for any tears or damage that may require repair.

Horse is rubbing or chafing

Verify the rug is the correct size and fitted properly. Ensure leg straps and surcingles are not too tight or twisted. The wither design aims to prevent rubbing, so a poor fit is the most likely cause.

Material seems less breathable

The rug may be dirty. Clean the rug thoroughly according to the care instructions. Ensure the waterproof coating is intact and has not been damaged by harsh detergents.

Rug is not staying in place

Check that all fastenings (chest, leg straps) are securely done up. Ensure the surcingles are lying flat and are adjusted correctly. A correct fit is crucial for the rug to stay in place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Effectively waterproof and breathable.
  • Designed to significantly reduce wither pressure and prevent rubbing.
  • Durable construction with 840 denier ballistic nylon.
  • Offers good warmth for medium weather conditions with 200g fill.
  • Includes features for comfort like antibacterial and anti-static properties.

Cons

  • Half neck design does not provide full coverage for the entire neck.
  • May not be sufficient for extreme cold weather requiring a higher fill weight.
  • Requires proper fitting to ensure optimal performance and comfort.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Fasten the chest closures first, followed by the leg straps, ensuring a snug but comfortable fit. The surcingles should lie flat and not be twisted.

Compatibility: This rug is designed for turnout. It is compatible with most standard horse conformations. Ensure it does not restrict movement.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, hand wash or machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a specialized rug wash. Avoid using harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating.
  2. Drying: Air dry the rug completely. Do not tumble dry or place near direct heat sources, as this can compromise the fabric and its waterproof properties.
  3. Reproofing: Reapply a waterproof and breathable proofing treatment periodically, especially if water is no longer beading on the surface, to maintain its performance.
  4. Storage: Store the rug clean and dry in its original zip-fastened storage bag in a cool, dry place.
