Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this rug be used for turnout?

This rug is designed primarily as a cooler for use in the stable or after exercise; it is not intended for outdoor turnout.

How do I know if the rug is the right size?

The rug should sit comfortably over the withers without pulling tight at the shoulders when the horse moves.

Is the rug machine washable?

While the rug is durable, please refer to the specific garment tag for temperature recommendations to ensure the lining and outer materials are not damaged.

Does it come with neck coverage?

No, this is a standard-neck design which leaves the neck area exposed.

Will the lining cause the horse to overheat?

The SupaFleece lining is designed to be breathable and moisture-wicking to prevent overheating while providing necessary warmth.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Check that the cross surcingles are tightened equally and that the chest straps are not too loose.

Visible hair or debris in the fleece lining

Use a soft-bristled grooming brush to gently remove debris from the SupaFleece lining to maintain its moisture-wicking efficiency.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking capabilities for quick drying
  • Soft lining prevents irritation on sensitive areas
  • Highly adjustable straps for a secure, custom fit
  • Durable construction suitable for frequent use

Cons

  • Requires specific care to maintain the SupaFleece lining
  • Faux leather outer may be heavier than standard synthetic sheets
  • Limited to standard-neck design

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, drape it over the horse's back, aligning the shoulder padding with the point of the shoulder. Fasten the chest straps first to establish the primary fit, then secure the cross surcingles to keep the rug centered. Finally, attach the tail cord to prevent the back of the rug from lifting in windy conditions. For care, gently brush off excess dirt from the faux leather outer. If washing is necessary, consult the product label instructions to protect the integrity of the SupaFleece lining and the durability of the outer fabric.
