Tempest Original Lite Standard-Neck Horse Turnout Rug - Blue - 3'

The rug is made from 600D ripstop nylon fabric.

This specific model is designed for Miniature Horses and features a standard-neck cut.

It is typically machine washable on a gentle cycle at 30°C using a specialized rug wash or mild soap. Always air dry and avoid tumble drying.

'PFC Free' indicates that the water-repellent treatment used on the fabric does not contain harmful perfluorinated chemicals, making it more environmentally friendly.

Always refer to the brand's specific size guide and measure your horse accurately. Note that brand sizing can sometimes vary.

The rug provides waterproof and breathable protection. For extreme cold, you may need to layer it with an appropriate weight under-rug for added insulation.

The fillet string attaches to the tail flap and goes under the horse's tail to help keep the back of the rug securely in place, preventing it from shifting or blowing open.

Check that all seams are intact and taped correctly. Ensure the DWR finish is still effective; if not, consider reproofing the rug. Verify that the fabric itself is not torn.

Ensure the buckles and surcingles are clean and free from debris. If straps show signs of wear, they may need replacement. Adjust to the appropriate tension for a secure fit without being overly tight.

Confirm the rug's breathability is not compromised (e.g., by dirt buildup). Ensure the fit is correct and not too tight. Consider removing the rug during warmer parts of the day or if the horse is not actively exposed to harsh weather.

Double-check the adjustment of the chest straps and cross surcingles. Ensure the fillet string is attached and adjusted correctly. Verify the rug size is appropriate for the horse's build.
