No, the neck cover is fully detachable, allowing you to use the rug as a standard neck turnout if required.
Yes, but check your machine's capacity. Use a gentle cycle with a specialized horse rug detergent and never use fabric softener.
The 2024 fit provides an improved ergonomic shape that allows for greater shoulder freedom and reduces the risk of the rug rubbing.
Yes, the elastic leg straps are removable, giving you the option to use them for added stability or remove them if preferred.
The 250g fill is generally sufficient for clipped horses in moderate to cold winter temperatures, depending on the individual horse's needs.
Ensure the belly surcingles are crossed correctly and adjusted to an even tension on both sides.
The waterproof coating may need re-proofing. Clean the rug thoroughly and apply a specialized rug reproofer spray.
Check that the chest size is correct for your horse and ensure the faux-fur pad is positioned directly over the wither.
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.
