Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux Arika Star Turnout Rug is designed for horse owners seeking a durable, high-performance solution for field turnout in fluctuating weather. By combining a 600D ripstop exterior with a high 10,000mm waterproof rating, it ensures your horse stays dry and comfortable while enjoying freedom of movement. While its technical features are robust, users should note that as a dedicated turnout rug, it requires consistent maintenance to ensure the waterproofing and breathability remain at peak efficiency throughout the seasons.

FAQs

Is this rug compatible with other brand liners?

The attachment system is designed specifically for the LeMieux Arika liner range and may not be compatible with other brands.

How do I measure for the correct size?

Measure from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail, following the line of the body.

Can this rug be machine washed?

Yes, it should be machine washed on a cool cycle using a specialized rug wash to maintain the waterproof coating.

What is the benefit of the seamless spine?

A seamless spine removes the area where water is most likely to seep through, ensuring better dryness during prolonged rain.

Can I leave this rug on 24/7?

It is suitable for extended turnout, but you should check your horse daily for any signs of heat or rubbing under the rug.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Check that the surcingles are adjusted to a hand's width between the strap and the horse's belly to prevent uneven weight distribution.

Water pooling on the back

Verify that the rug size is correct; a rug that is too large or dropped too low at the chest can cause the spine to sag and hold water.

Rubbing at the shoulders

Ensure the anti-static lining is free of grit or mud, as trapped dirt causes friction. Adjust the front closure for better clearance.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to the two-part skirt design
  • High-grade waterproofing keeps horses dry in heavy rain
  • Easy-to-use T-bar closure reduces pressure points
  • Liner compatibility offers versatile seasonal use
  • Durable ripstop material resists common field wear and tear

Cons

  • Requires proper care to maintain breathability ratings
  • Shoulder lining requires regular cleaning to remain anti-static
  • Liner system must be purchased separately

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, ensure the T-bar closure is securely fastened and adjusted for a snug but not restrictive fit. For compatibility, the inner attachment points are designed specifically for the Arika liner series; align the Velcro tabs and clips inside the neck and rear of the rug. To care for your rug, brush off dried mud with a soft brush, and when washing is required, use a non-detergent technical cleaner. Always air dry the rug naturally away from direct heat sources to preserve the waterproofing membrane. Avoid using heavy-duty laundry detergents as these can degrade the breathability rating.
