FAQs

Is the neck cover permanently attached?

No, the neck cover is fully detachable, allowing you to use the rug as a standard neck turnout if required.

Can I machine wash this rug?

Yes, but check your machine's capacity. Use a gentle cycle with a specialized horse rug detergent and never use fabric softener.

What is the benefit of the 2024 fit?

The 2024 fit provides an improved ergonomic shape that allows for greater shoulder freedom and reduces the risk of the rug rubbing.

Are the leg straps removable?

Yes, the elastic leg straps are removable, giving you the option to use them for added stability or remove them if preferred.

Is this rug suitable for clipped horses?

The 250g fill is generally sufficient for clipped horses in moderate to cold winter temperatures, depending on the individual horse's needs.

Troubleshooting

The rug is slipping to one side during turnout

Ensure the belly surcingles are crossed correctly and adjusted to an even tension on both sides.

Water appears to be soaking through the fabric

The waterproof coating may need re-proofing. Clean the rug thoroughly and apply a specialized rug reproofer spray.

Rubbing marks appearing at the shoulders or withers

Check that the chest size is correct for your horse and ensure the faux-fur pad is positioned directly over the wither.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent warmth with 250g fill
  • Adaptable with detachable neck cover
  • Improved fit for better mobility
  • Pressure-relieving faux-fur wither pad
  • Durable polyester construction

Cons

  • Requires proper sizing for the 2024 fit
  • Polyester material needs consistent cleaning
  • Not intended for extreme heat

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the trigger clips are secured firmly without overtightening the chest area. The crossed belly surcingles should have enough length to allow for some movement but should be adjusted so they remain close to the body. For care, it is essential to brush off dried mud regularly to keep the fabric breathable. When washing, use non-biological detergent and avoid fabric softeners, as these can strip the waterproof coating. Always hang the rug to dry naturally in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to preserve the integrity of the polyester material.
