This is a 'Light' turnout rug. It is waterproof and windproof, but it does not have heavy insulation, so it is best for cool or wet weather rather than extreme sub-zero temperatures.
Denier refers to the thickness of the fibers. 600D is a standard, durable weight for general paddock use, balancing protection with flexibility.
While some industrial machines can handle rugs, it is generally recommended to hose clean or use specialized rug cleaning services to protect the waterproof membrane.
This model utilizes cross-strap configurations for stability and movement.
The front should sit comfortably at the chest without pulling back, and the high neck should sit securely above the withers without sliding down.
The Clip-in system allows you to attach compatible liners to the inside of the rug, giving you the flexibility to increase the weight of the rug without buying a new one.
Check that the cross straps are adjusted to fit snugly against the horse's belly and that the T-front fastenings are not too loose.
Ensure the rug is appropriate for the weather; if the horse is over-rugged, it may sweat. Also, verify that the breathability of the fabric is not compromised by heavy dirt buildup.
Re-check the front closure tension; if the rug is too small, it will pull against the chest and withers even with the high-neck feature.
To ensure a proper fit, measure your horse from the center of the chest to the tail line to align with the 145cm sizing. When fitting, secure the double T-front fastenings first, followed by the cross straps to prevent shifting. The rug is part of the Waldhausen Clip-in system, allowing you to add warmth by attaching compatible liners if needed. To care for your rug, gently brush off dried mud regularly. When deep cleaning is required, hose down with cold water and use a mild, non-detergent soap. Always allow the rug to air dry completely in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to preserve the waterproofing membrane. Store in the provided rug bag when not in use.
