Full details
The Waldhausen Modern Rose Fleece Rug is designed for horse owners seeking a combination of functional moisture-wicking performance and sophisticated aesthetics. Crafted from high-quality anti-pilling polyester fleece, it effectively absorbs sweat to assist with cooling after exercise while protecting the horse with a plush synthetic fur collar. While it offers superior comfort and style, the presence of delicate rose gold accents requires careful handling during cleaning to maintain its polished appearance.

Troubleshooting
Surcingles becoming loose over time
Check the sliders on the straps regularly and adjust them to the correct tension, ensuring they are properly locked in place.
Synthetic fur looking matted
Gently brush the fur with a soft-bristled brush to fluff the fibers and remove any trapped dirt or bedding.
Rug slipping to one side
Ensure the chest fasteners are tightened correctly and that the crossover surcingles are crossed under the belly to distribute weight evenly.
