Product Information

Full details

The Premier Equine Buster 200g Turnout Rug is a medium-weight solution designed for horse owners seeking reliable protection against harsh winter conditions. It features a durable 840D ballistic nylon exterior with a waterproof, breathable membrane, making it ideal for horses in the field during cold, wet weather. While it provides excellent thermal insulation and freedom of movement through its specialized shoulder gussets, owners should note that the medium-weight fill may be too warm for mild autumn days or horses prone to overheating.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this rug suitable for mild autumn weather?

The 200g fill is specifically a medium-weight rug, which is usually best suited for winter temperatures or cold, wet days rather than mild weather.

How do I maintain the waterproof rating?

Avoid using harsh detergents or biological powders. Use a non-detergent rug wash and re-proof with a reputable DWR (Durable Water Repellent) spray if necessary.

Can I remove the neck cover?

This model features a Snug-Fit neck design; please consult your specific version's attachment points to see if it is detachable, though it is designed for maximum wind protection as an integrated piece.

Does the rug have any reflective features?

Yes, it includes reflective detailing to help make your horse easier to spot in low-light conditions.

Will the rug stay on if the horse rolls?

The self-righting design and secure surcingle system are engineered to keep the rug in place even after the horse rolls.

What does the 840D rating mean?

The 840D refers to the denier of the nylon, indicating the density of the fiber; 840D is considered quite high-strength and is ideal for turnout usage.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping or shifting to one side

Ensure the cross surcingles are tightened sufficiently and are adjusted symmetrically on both sides.

Moisture buildup under the rug

Check if the breathability of the fabric is compromised by dirt; gently clean the rug with a proper cleaner to restore airflow.

Rubbing on the chest or shoulders

Adjust the chest straps to ensure they are not too tight, or use a shoulder guard if the horse has sensitive skin.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior waterproof and moisture-wicking capabilities
  • Highly durable ballistic nylon resists common field damage
  • Snug-Fit neck design minimizes wind exposure
  • Self-righting construction helps keep the rug centered
  • Includes stain-resistant Teflon coating

Cons

  • Fixed 200g weight may be too heavy for transitional weather
  • Requires regular cleaning to maintain breathability
  • Heavyweight construction can be bulky for smaller horses

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper performance, always ensure the chest straps and cross surcingles are adjusted to allow a flat hand to fit between the strap and the horse. The Snug-Fit neck cover should be secured firmly but should not impede the horse's ability to graze or bend its neck comfortably.

Care instructions:

  1. Cleaning: Remove dried mud with a soft brush. For deep cleaning, use a specialized rug wash that does not compromise the waterproof membrane.
  2. Storage: Ensure the rug is completely dry before storing it in a cool, dark, and well-ventilated area.
  3. Maintenance: Regularly inspect stainless-steel hardware for signs of wear and check that all velcro fastenings are free of hair and debris.
