FAQs

Is this rug suitable for mid-winter use?

On its own, no. However, because it is compatible with Premier Equine liners, you can add a heavy liner to increase the warmth for winter.

Can I wash this in a standard washing machine?

It is recommended to use a professional horse rug cleaning service or hand wash, as household machines may not be large enough or provide the correct cycle for the hardware.

Does the neck cover have to be worn?

No, the neck cover is detachable, allowing you to use the rug with or without it depending on the weather.

What does the 40g fill mean?

This refers to the amount of insulation inside the rug (40 grams per square meter), making it a very lightweight option.

Is the material waterproof?

Yes, the rug is constructed with a breathable, waterproof membrane designed to keep the horse dry in rain and wind.

Troubleshooting

The rug is slipping to one side.

Check that the cross-surcingles are adjusted evenly and the chest straps are tight enough to prevent the rug from shifting forward.

Water appears to be soaking through.

Ensure the rug has been cleaned properly. If the DWR (Durable Water Repellent) coating has worn off, apply a specialized reproofing spray to restore performance.

Rubbing observed at the shoulders.

Verify the rug size is correct. If the rug is too small, it will pull tight across the chest; if it is too large, it may slide back and put pressure on the withers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent freedom of movement due to high-cut shoulder gussets
  • Lightweight yet durable nylon exterior
  • Antibacterial lining helps keep the coat healthy
  • Easy to customize with additional liners
  • Includes reflective strips for better visibility in low light

Cons

  • Not suitable for extreme cold without additional liners
  • Requires proper sizing for the neck cover to sit perfectly
  • Hand-wash or professional cleaning recommended to preserve waterproofing

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, place the rug on your horse and secure the chest fastenings, followed by the cross-surcingles. Ensure the surcingles are adjusted to allow a hand's width between the straps and the horse's belly. The neck cover can be attached via the designated D-rings and Velcro tabs.

This rug is compatible with all Premier Equine standard liners, which can be attached using the internal loops. For care, avoid using aggressive detergents that can strip the waterproof coating. If the rug becomes soiled, hose it down or use a specialized rug wash and allow it to air dry naturally in a shaded area. Always store the rug in the provided zip-fastened bag when not in use to prevent damage from pests or dampness.
