Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of the rug, always fit it correctly to avoid rubbing at the shoulders. Secure the chest straps first, followed by the cross surcingles, ensuring enough room to slide a hand between the strap and the horse's belly. For care, gently brush off dried mud with a soft brush when dry. If the rug requires a deeper clean, wash it on a cool cycle using a specialized rug wash to maintain the waterproof integrity; avoid harsh detergents that strip the PFC-free Durable Water Repellent (DWR) finish. Always ensure the rug is completely dry before folding it for storage during warmer months.
