FAQs

What is the waterproof rating of this rug?

The rug has a waterproof rating of 2000mm.

How breathable is the rug?

The rug has a breathability rating of 3000g/m²/24hrs.

What weight of filling does this rug have?

This rug features 220g of Polyfill insulation.

Can this rug be used in very cold winter weather?

The 220g filling is suitable for cooler weather and milder winter days. For extreme cold, additional layering or a rug with higher insulation may be necessary.

How do I know if the rug fits correctly?

A proper fit means the rug covers the horse comfortably without pulling at the shoulders or hindquarters. You should be able to fit two fingers snugly between the surcingles and the horse's belly. The chest straps should be secure but not tight.

What should I do if the rug gets damaged?

Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with specialized rug repair kits or by a professional. For significant damage, especially to waterproof seams, replacement may be the best option.

How often should I reproof the rug?

It is recommended to reproof the rug annually or whenever you notice water no longer beads on the surface. This ensures its waterproof and breathable performance is maintained.

Troubleshooting

Rug appears to be leaking.

Check for damage to the fabric or seams. Ensure the rug has been reproofed recently. Make sure the rug is not excessively dirty, as this can impede breathability and potentially lead to dampness.

Horse is rubbing or showing signs of discomfort.

Verify the rug is the correct size and fitted properly. Adjust the surcingles and chest straps. Ensure the friction-free lining is clean and free of debris. Check for any external irritants on the horse.

Rug is difficult to fasten.

Ensure buckles are clean and free of mud or debris. Check that the straps are aligned correctly before attempting to fasten.

Rug is not drying properly.

Ensure the rug is hung in a well-ventilated area, away from direct heat. Do not tumble dry. It may take longer to dry than expected, especially in humid conditions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing keeps the horse dry.
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating and moisture buildup.
  • Durable ripstop material withstands rough use.
  • Comfortable fit with adjustable fastenings.
  • Prevents rubbing with friction-free lining.

Cons

  • May require additional layers for extreme cold.
  • Fit is crucial; incorrect sizing can lead to discomfort.
  • Not designed for extreme heat or very mild conditions.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Drape the rug over the horse's back, ensuring the neck section sits comfortably. Secure the adjustable chest buckles and the low cross surcingles. Adjust the surcingles so they are snug but not tight, allowing for two fingers to fit underneath. The tail cord should be secured to prevent the rug from lifting.

Compatibility: This rug is designed for horses turned out in fields. It is compatible with most standard horse builds. Ensure no existing tack or blankets interfere with its placement.

Care:

  1. Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt and mud before washing. If heavily soiled, rinse the rug with cold water. Use a specialized rug wash or mild detergent (never harsh chemicals or fabric softener) on a gentle cycle with cold water. Do NOT use liquid detergent or fabric conditioner as this can damage the waterproof coating.
  2. Drying: Hang the rug to air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry or place near direct heat sources, as this can compromise the waterproof and breathable properties.
  3. Reproofing: For optimal performance, re-waterproof the rug annually or as needed using a compatible waterproofing spray.
