FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the Garissa 100g Stable Rug?

The primary purpose is to provide breathable, lightweight warmth and protection against dust, dirt, and stable stains for horses in the stable environment.

Is this rug suitable for turnout?

This rug is designed for stable use. While the 420D ripstop outer offers durability, it is not intended for turnout in fields, as it lacks the heavy-duty features and full waterproof capabilities often required for outdoor conditions.

Can I add a neck cover to this rug?

No, the Garissa 100g Stable Rug does not have attachments for neck covers or liners. It is designed as a neck-free option.

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Refer to the brand's sizing guide, which typically measures from the center of the chest to the rear of the hindquarters. Ensure a proper fit for maximum comfort and effectiveness.

What does '100g fill' mean?

The '100g' refers to the weight of the thermal filling used in the rug. This indicates a lightweight to medium level of warmth, suitable for moderate temperatures or for horses that tend to run warm.

How should I clean the rug to maintain its properties?

Machine wash at 30°C with a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softener and tumble drying. Air dry away from direct heat.

What is the benefit of the anti-static lining?

The anti-static lining helps to reduce static electricity buildup, which can cause discomfort or irritation to the horse's coat and skin. It also helps to prevent the rug from clinging.

Troubleshooting

Rug appears to be slipping or turning

Check that the chest clips and cross surcingles are securely fastened and adjusted correctly for your horse's build. Ensure the size is appropriate; a rug that is too large or too small can cause slipping.

Horse seems too warm or too cold

This rug is 100g fill, suitable for moderate conditions. If the horse is too warm, consider a lighter rug (0g) or remove it if the stable temperature allows. If too cold, consider a heavier fill rug or a liner if compatible with your stable setup.

Horse is rubbing or showing signs of irritation

Ensure the anti-static lining is clean and free from debris. Check for any loose stitching or seams that might be causing irritation. Verify the rug is the correct fit and not too tight in any area.

Dirt and stains are difficult to remove

For stubborn stains, pre-treat with a specialized rug cleaner before washing. Always follow the care instructions for optimal cleaning without damaging the fabric.

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Proper fit is crucial for comfort and effectiveness.
Drape the rug over your horse's back, aligning the wither pad.
Secure the adjustable chest clips, ensuring a snug but not tight fit.
Fasten the cross surcingles underneath the belly, adjusting for a secure fit.
Attach the clip-on tail strap.

Compatibility:

This rug is designed as a standalone stable rug and does not have attachments for neck covers or liners.
It is suitable for use in stables or during transport where a lightweight, breathable layer of warmth is needed.

Care:

Clean the rug regularly by brushing off loose dirt and hair.
For washing, follow the manufacturer's instructions. Typically, this involves a gentle machine wash at a low temperature (e.g., 30°C) with a mild detergent specifically designed for technical fabrics.
Avoid using fabric softeners or bleach, as these can damage the rug's technical properties.
Rinse thoroughly.
Air dry the rug completely. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the materials. Hang it over a stable door or washing line away from direct heat or sunlight.
Store the clean, dry rug in its provided zip-fastened bag to protect it from dust and damage.
