FAQs

What is the main purpose of the 420g fill?

The 420g fill provides significant insulation, making the rug suitable for keeping horses warm and comfortable in cold winter weather.

Why is the neck design 'classic' and what is its benefit?

The 'classic' neck design is integrated into the rug and is specifically shaped to reduce pressure and chafing around the horse's wither area, which is beneficial for horses prone to sensitivity or soreness in that region.

How durable is the 840D ballistic nylon material?

840D ballistic nylon is a very strong and durable material, engineered to resist tears, snags, and general wear and tear, making it ideal for turnout rugs used in rugged conditions.

Can this rug be used in very wet weather?

Yes, the rug is treated with a waterproof system designed to keep your horse dry. However, to maintain optimal waterproofing, regular care and re-waterproofing treatments are recommended.

What does 'combo' turnout rug mean?

'Combo' refers to a rug that has an integrated neck cover, providing full coverage from the horse's head down to its tail.

How should I clean and maintain the rug's waterproofing?

Brush off excess dirt, then wash on a 30-degree cycle with a specialist rug wash, avoiding fabric softener. Air dry naturally. Re-waterproof periodically using a suitable spray to maintain its effectiveness.

What is the benefit of the high shoulder gusset?

The high shoulder gusset is designed to allow for a greater range of motion, enabling the horse to move more freely and comfortably when grazing, running, or rolling in the field.

Troubleshooting

Rug is causing rubbing or chafing

Ensure the rug is the correct size and fitted properly. Check that straps are not too tight and that no seams are directly over pressure points. The integrated classic neck design and high shoulder gusset are intended to prevent this, so a poor fit is the most likely cause.

Horse appears too hot or cold

Assess the ambient temperature and your horse's individual needs. The 420g fill is for cold conditions; consider a lighter fill rug for milder weather. Ensure the rug is breathable and clean, as dirt can impede breathability.

Water is leaking through the rug

The waterproof treatment may need to be reapplied. Clean the rug thoroughly and apply a reputable rug waterproofing spray, following the product's instructions. Check for any tears or damage to the fabric that may compromise its integrity.

Hardware is stiff or difficult to fasten

Clean the stainless steel hardware to remove any dirt or debris. A small amount of metal polish can help restore smoothness. Ensure the buckles are aligned correctly before fastening.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. A well-fitting rug is crucial for comfort and effectiveness.
  2. Carefully place the rug over your horse's back, aligning the chest closures and surcingles.
  3. Secure the front closures, ensuring they are snug but not too tight.
  4. Fasten the surcingles, adjusting them so they are firm enough to keep the rug in place without causing restriction.
  5. Attach the neck cover, if separate, ensuring it fits comfortably around the horse's head and neck.

Compatibility:

This rug is designed as a standalone winter turnout solution. It can be paired with Premier Equine training boots and head collars for a coordinated look and additional protection. It is generally compatible with most standard horse tack.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt and mud before washing. Wash the rug according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically on a 30-degree cycle using a specialist rug wash. Avoid fabric softeners or harsh detergents.
  • Waterproofing: Re-waterproof the rug periodically using a suitable waterproofing spray, especially after washing, to maintain its protective qualities.
  • Drying: Allow the rug to air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry or expose to direct high heat.
  • Storage: Store the rug clean and dry in its reusable zip-fastened storage bag to protect it from dust and damage when not in use.
