The Mackey Wicklow 50g Turnout with Detachable Neck is an essential piece of equipment for horse owners seeking reliable protection during mild, rainy seasons. This rug is ideal for horses that need minimal insulation to stay dry and comfortable without overheating, thanks to its 50g polyfill and durable, weather-resistant exterior. While it offers excellent versatility with its detachable features, owners should note that the lightweight insulation is strictly intended for warmer wet weather rather than extreme cold or winter conditions.

Yes, it is designed to provide effective protection against rain using a durable, weather-resistant outer layer.
No, the 50g fill is very lightweight and intended for mild, wet conditions. It will not provide sufficient warmth for deep winter.
The neck cover attaches via secure fixtures located on the neck portion of the rug; simply align the clips or straps as indicated on the product design.
It is best to use a large-capacity commercial machine or a professional rug-cleaning service to avoid damaging the waterproof lining and stitching.
Yes, the gusset provides extra fabric allowance that enables the horse to lower its head to the ground without the rug pulling back against the chest.
Check that the leg straps are adjusted to the correct length and that the chest closures are secure and centered.
Ensure the chest clips are not too tight and confirm that the rug is pulled forward enough to utilize the shoulder gussets correctly.
The rug may need a re-proofing treatment if it has been washed frequently or subjected to heavy wear over several seasons.
To achieve the best fit, start by securing the chest clips to the appropriate tension, ensuring the rug lies flat against the withers. Attach the leg straps in a loop-through-loop configuration to prevent chafing. Compatibility with layering systems is possible, but keep in mind that this rug is primarily a standalone shell. For maintenance, ensure the rug is brushed free of mud before storage to preserve the integrity of the 1680D polyester fabric. If the rug requires cleaning, use a specialized horse rug detergent and a cold water wash, then hang to air dry completely to protect the waterproof coating. Avoid using a pressure washer, as this can damage the performance fabric.
