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

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.
