FAQs
Is this rug machine washable?
Yes, but use a gentle cycle with a specialized rug wash to protect the waterproof coating.
Can this rug be worn during turnout?
Yes, it is designed for outdoor turnout use with a durable 1200D ripstop shell.
Does it come with a neck cover?
No, this is a standard neck model and does not include an integrated neck cover.
How do I know when it is time to adjust the fit?
Monitor the chest area and surcingles; if the buckle is at its maximum extension or the chest appears tight, it is time to move up in size.
Is the fabric breathable?
Yes, the rug is designed to be breathable, allowing moisture vapor to escape while keeping rain out.
What does PFC-free Guard-Tec mean?
It means the waterproof coating is free of perfluorinated chemicals, offering an environmentally conscious way to keep the rug waterproof.
Troubleshooting
Rug slipping or shifting while the foal moves
Check that the cross surcingles are tightened sufficiently and ensure the tail cord is correctly positioned.
Visible signs of rubbing or coat damage
Adjust the front buckle closure to ensure the chest fit is not too tight, or check that the rug is not sliding backward.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rug, place it gently over the foal's back, aligning the front closure before securing the cross surcingles. Ensure the surcingles are snug but allow enough room for the foal's movement. For care, it is recommended to brush off dried mud regularly to maintain breathability. When washing, use non-biological detergent and avoid high-heat drying, which can compromise the waterproof coating. Store the rug in a cool, dry place during the off-season to ensure the longevity of the materials.
