FAQs
How do I measure my horse for the correct size?
Measure from the center of the chest to the end of the hindquarters. Refer to the size guide for specific size recommendations based on the measurement.
Can I machine wash the rug?
Yes, machine wash on a gentle cycle using cold water and a specialized rug cleaner. Air dry the rug completely before storage.
What is the DWR finish?
DWR stands for Durable Water Repellent. It is a finish applied to the fabric to enhance its water resistance and cause water to bead up and roll off.
What is the purpose of the polyfill?
The polyfill provides insulation to keep your horse warm during colder weather.
How often should I clean the rug?
Clean the rug regularly, especially if it gets muddy or dirty. Follow the care instructions and wash as needed to maintain its performance.
What is the benefit of the taped seams?
Taped seams enhance waterproofing by preventing water from seeping through the stitching.
How do I store the rug when not in use?
Ensure the rug is clean and dry. Store it in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight.
