The Shires Highlander Original 100g Combo Turnout Rug and Neck set is designed for horses needing lightweight warmth and protection during cooler weather. Its key benefit is versatile weather protection with a detachable neck cover, though the 100g fill may be insufficient for extremely cold conditions. This rug features a 600 denier ripstop outer, is waterproof and breathable with taped seams, and includes deep shoulder gussets, twin buckle chest fastenings, adjustable cross surcingles, a fillet strap, and a tail flap.

The 100g polyfill provides lightweight insulation, making it suitable for horses that need warmth during milder or cooler weather conditions, rather than extreme cold.
Refer to the provided size chart which lists rug sizes by bottom measurement in feet and inches, and back measurement in centimeters. Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the rear of the hindquarters to find the corresponding back measurement.
Yes, the rug is waterproof with taped seams and ShireTex fabric technology, designed to withstand rain. However, for horses needing maximum warmth in very cold, wet conditions, consider adding a liner.
The need to reapply the durable water repellent finish depends on usage and washing frequency. If water no longer beads on the surface, it may be time to reapply.
Use a cool machine wash with non-detergent soap only. Detergents can strip the waterproof and breathable coatings.
Yes, the neck cover is detachable and can be removed for warmer days or if your horse does not require neck coverage.
Deep shoulder gussets allow for greater freedom of movement, reducing the risk of rubbing and ensuring the rug fits comfortably even when the horse is grazing or moving.
Ensure all seams are properly taped. Reapply a durable water repellent finish if the DWR has worn off. Check that the neck cover is securely attached and that the main rug is fitted correctly without gaps.
Consider adding a Shires WarmaRug liner (100g or 200g) for additional warmth. Ensure the rug is the correct size and fitted properly to prevent drafts.
Check that the rug is the correct size and fitted appropriately. Ensure the shoulder gussets are allowing for free movement and that the chest fastenings are not too tight. Clean the rug to remove any abrasive dirt.
Contact the retailer or Shires customer support for replacement parts or repair options.
Setup: This rug comes with a detachable neck cover that attaches securely. Ensure the twin buckle chest fastenings are adjusted for a comfortable, snug fit, and that the cross surcingles and fillet strap are appropriately fastened. The integrated leg strap loops can be used with separate leg straps if desired.
Compatibility: This rug is compatible with Shires WarmaRug liners (available separately in 100g and 200g) to increase warmth.
Care Instructions: Machine wash cool using non-detergent soap. Allow the rug to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry. The durable water repellent (DWR) finish may require reapplication over time to maintain optimal waterproofing.
