FAQs
Is this rug waterproof?
It features a shower-resistant upper section, but it is not a fully waterproof turnout rug.
Can my horse wear this in winter?
No, this rug is made from lightweight polyester intended for breathable protection during warmer months.
How do I ensure the best fit?
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the tail and compare with standard rug sizing, ensuring the neck and belly flaps sit comfortably.
Will the rug cause my horse to rub?
The rug features lined contact points specifically designed to minimize rubbing and protect the horse's coat.
How do I clean the rug?
Machine wash on a gentle cycle using cool water and air dry away from direct heat sources.
Troubleshooting
Rug shifting or slipping backward
Ensure the neck piece is correctly positioned over the ears and check that the chest buckles are tightened appropriately.
Belly flap hanging loose
Adjust the triple surcingle system to ensure even tension across the belly, making sure the straps are not loose.
Dirt buildup on the material
Brush off dry mud regularly and perform a thorough wash using specialized rug cleaning products.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rug, secure the chest buckles and velcro catch first, then fasten the belly flap, and finally adjust the elastic leg straps to provide a snug fit without restricting movement. Compatibility with fly masks is high due to the integrated neck design. To care for the rug, machine wash on a gentle cycle with a non-detergent soap to preserve the shower-resistant properties of the fabric. Always inspect the surcingles and leg straps before each use to ensure there is no fraying or hardware damage. Store in a cool, dry place during the winter months.
