FAQs

Is this rug waterproof?

No, the Rastrick V2 is designed specifically as a stable rug and does not provide waterproof protection for outdoor use.

Can I use this rug without the hood?

Yes, the hood is fully detachable, allowing you to use the rug as a standard neck design.

How do I clean the fillet strap?

The fillet strap is PVC coated, which allows you to simply wipe it down with a damp cloth and mild disinfectant.

What is the primary purpose of the 250g fill?

The 250g fill is a medium-to-heavy weight intended to provide significant warmth during cold winter nights inside a stable.

Does the rug have features to prevent rubbing?

Yes, it includes a soft faux fur witherpad specifically designed to minimize friction and prevent sores on the horse's withers.

Are the chest fastenings adjustable?

Yes, the rug features adjustable sliders to ensure the chest fit can be customized to your horse's specific size.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Check that the cross-surcingles are adjusted evenly and ensure the chest T-clips are not too loose.

Faux fur becoming matted

Gently brush the faux fur with a soft-bristled brush after each use to maintain loft and softness.

Difficulty fastening T-clips

Ensure no horse hair or bedding is caught in the mechanism and check for debris in the clip housing.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent heat retention through double quilting
  • Adaptable design with a fully detachable hood
  • Soft faux fur padding prevents discomfort at the withers
  • Easy to clean due to the PVC coated fillet strap
  • Secure fit provided by adjustable sliders and T-clips

Cons

  • Faux fur components require specific care to prevent matting
  • Not intended for turnout use in wet weather
  • Heavy fill may be too warm for mild autumn days

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the chest T-clips are adjusted so the rug sits snugly without restricting the horse's neck movement. When attaching the hood, align the velcro or clip points evenly to prevent it from slipping during the night. For care, it is essential to brush off stable debris regularly. Since this is a stable rug, it should not be used for turnout in damp conditions as it is not waterproof. When washing, follow the manufacturer's care label specifically to protect the faux fur and the structural integrity of the 250g fill. Store in a dry, well-ventilated area during the warmer months to prevent moisture buildup.
