Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can I use this rug in the rain?

Yes, it features a 10,000mm waterproof rating, making it suitable for moderate to heavy rain.

Is the neck cover included?

Yes, the rug comes with a detachable neck cover to provide full-body coverage.

How do I attach the liners?

The rug is compatible with the Arika liner system, which uses internal attachment points to secure the extra layers.

Will this rug make my horse sweat?

The rug has a 3,000 MVP breathability rating, which is designed to allow moisture vapor to escape while keeping rain out.

How should I clean the fillet strap?

The PVC-coated fillet strap can be easily wiped clean with a damp cloth or sponge.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Ensure the cross surcingles are adjusted evenly and that the elasticated leg straps are snug but not tight.

Shoulder rubbing

Verify the T-bar closure is fastened correctly and check that the rug size is not too tight across the chest.

Water leaking through after prolonged use

The waterproof coating may need re-proofing with a specific rug-safe water repellent spray after several washes.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to the angled front closure
  • High waterproof rating of 10,000mm keeps horses dry in heavy rain
  • Breathable fabric prevents overheating with a 3,000 MVP rating
  • Easy-to-clean PVC-coated fillet strap
  • Anti-rub shoulder lining protects coat health

Cons

  • Requires careful cleaning to avoid stripping the waterproof layer
  • Less durable than higher-denier options for horses prone to heavy chewing or extreme field play
  • Liner system must be purchased separately

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, attach the front T-bar closure first, followed by the crossed surcingles and finally the elasticated leg straps to ensure a snug, secure fit. The rug is specifically designed to be compatible with other items in the Arika rug liner range, which can be snapped into place internally. For care, gently brush off dried mud with a soft brush. If the rug requires a deep clean, use a technical horse rug wash and avoid heavy detergents or fabric softeners, as these can compromise the waterproof and breathable membranes. Always ensure the rug is completely dry before storing it in a cool, ventilated area.
