FAQs

What is the purpose of the 100g fill?

The 100g fill provides a moderate level of insulation, suitable for keeping horses warm during cool to cold weather, particularly in transitional seasons like spring and autumn, or for horses that need a bit of extra warmth without overheating.

How do I determine the correct size rug for my horse?

You should measure your horse from the center of the chest to the point of the hindquarters (where the rug ends). Consult the WeatherBeeta sizing chart for the corresponding rug size. A proper fit is crucial for comfort and to prevent rubbing.

Can I use this rug in very heavy rain?

Yes, the rug features an 1800 denier outer shell with a waterproof Teflon EcoElite™ coating, designed to provide excellent protection against heavy rain and keep your horse dry.

What does 'Detach-A-Neck' mean?

This means the neck cover is detachable. You can choose to attach the neck cover for full coverage and warmth, or remove it for more freedom and ventilation, making the rug adaptable to different weather conditions.

How often should I re-proof the rug?

It's recommended to re-proof your turnout rug annually, or after each wash, to maintain its waterproof and breathable properties. Use a specialized equine rug waterproofing spray.

Will the lining affect my horse's coat?

The rug features a smooth, friction-reducing lining designed to help maintain coat shine and minimize the risk of hair loss or rubbing, promoting a healthy coat appearance.

What maintenance is required for the memory foam wither relief?

The memory foam is integrated into the rug and requires no separate maintenance. It is designed to conform to the horse's shape and provide lasting comfort. Ensure the area around the wither is kept clean to prevent buildup on the foam.

Troubleshooting

Rug is causing rubs or sores

Check the rug size for a proper fit. Ensure the front closures and leg straps are adjusted correctly and not too tight. Verify the wither relief pad is positioned correctly. Consider if the lining material is suitable for your horse's coat. Consult the 'Performance & Use' section for fitting tips.

Rug is leaking or horse feels wet underneath

The waterproof coating may have degraded. Re-proof the rug with a suitable waterproofing spray. Check seams for damage. Ensure the rug was washed with appropriate detergents and dried correctly as per 'Care' instructions.

Rug slips to one side

Adjust the leg straps to be more secure. Ensure the front closures are fastened properly. The rug might be the wrong size or shape for the horse's build.

Horse seems too hot or too cold

This 100g rug is designed for moderate temperatures. For warmer weather, consider a lighter fill or no-fill rug. For colder weather, consider a rug with higher insulation (e.g., 200g or 300g). Ensure the neck cover is removed or attached appropriately based on temperature.

  • Comfort features like memory foam wither relief and smooth lining.
  • Versatile detach-a-neck design for adaptable protection.
  • Secure and adjustable fit options.

Cons

  • May require careful fitting to avoid pressure points or rubbing.
  • 100g fill might be too warm for very mild climates or in summer.

  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproofness and longevity.
  • The detach-a-neck feature, while versatile, adds complexity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Measure from the center of the chest to the point of the hindquarters.
  2. Unfold the rug and drape it over the horse's back, aligning the wither relief pad with the horse's natural wither.
  3. Fasten the twin adjustable quick clip front closures, ensuring a snug but not tight fit. Adjust as needed.
  4. Secure the adjustable leg straps, passing them through the hind legs and fastening them. Ensure they are tight enough to prevent the rug from slipping but not so tight they cause discomfort.
  5. If using the neck cover, attach it securely.

Compatibility:

  • This rug is designed for equine use.
  • Ensure it is compatible with your horse's individual build and any existing tack or protective wear.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Brush off loose dirt and debris before washing. The rug can typically be washed on a gentle cycle at a cool temperature (30°C or 40°C) with a specialized equine rug wash. Do not use harsh detergents or fabric softeners, as these can damage the waterproof coating and breathability.
  • Drying: Air dry the rug completely. Do not tumble dry or place near direct heat sources, as this can damage the fabric and waterproof membranes.
  • Waterproofing: Re-proof the rug periodically using a suitable waterproofing spray to maintain its effectiveness, especially after washing.
  • Storage: Store the rug clean and dry in a rug bag or breathable container in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and rodents.
