FAQs
Can I leave this rug on during rain?
This rug is designed as a fly rug, not a waterproof turnout rug. It is made of polyester for breathability and insect protection, so it will not keep your horse dry in heavy rain.
How should I wash the rug?
Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius. Always ensure all velcro fasteners are closed before washing to protect the fabric.
Is it safe for the horse to wear while wearing a halter?
Yes, the neck piece features a velcro attachment specifically designed to secure it to your horse's headcollar or bridle.
Will the gussets restrict my horse's stride?
No, the integrated gussets are specifically placed to allow full range of motion, even when the horse is trotting or playing in the field.
Does the rug come in different sizes?
Yes, HKM offers various sizes, including specific EU measurements for different horse builds.
Troubleshooting
Rug slipping or sliding to one side
Ensure the belly straps are snug and the tail strap is properly adjusted to keep the rug centered.
Velcro losing its grip
Clean the velcro hooks of any hair or debris using a stiff brush to restore its fastening capability.
Neck piece falling down
Utilize the integrated velcro attachment to secure the neck piece to the horse's headcollar or bridle.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High tear-resistant polyester material
- Comprehensive coverage including belly and neck

Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rug, place it over the horse's back and secure the chest and belly straps first. Ensure the neck cover is adjusted using the velcro fasteners so that it sits comfortably without restricting the horse's windpipe. The tail strap should be adjusted to keep the back of the rug from lifting in high winds.
For care, the rug is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius. It is essential to close all velcro fasteners before placing the rug in the washing machine to prevent damage to the fabric or the fasteners themselves. The item is tumble-dry safe, though air drying is recommended to extend the lifespan of the polyester fibers.
