FAQs

What is the warmth rating of this rug?

This rug features a 200g polyfil, classifying it as a medium-weight rug suitable for moderate temperatures.

Can the neck piece be removed?

Yes, the rug is designed with a detachable neck piece to offer versatility based on weather conditions.

What does the denier rating mean for durability?

The 1680 denier outer is a high-strength rating, indicating a thicker, more durable fabric that is highly resistant to rips and abrasions.

Are the leg straps replaceable?

Yes, the leg straps are detachable, allowing you to remove them or replace them if they become damaged.

How should I clean the rug?

Use a soft brush to remove dry mud and wash with cold water. Avoid high-pressure washers and hot water, which can damage the waterproof coating.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Check that the leg straps are adjusted to the correct length and that the chest closure is not too loose.

Neck piece drooping

Verify that all neck attachment points are fastened securely and that the hood tension is adjusted.

Water soaking through the fabric

The outer waterproofing may need to be refreshed using a specialized rug re-proofing spray.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-denier outer layer is highly resistant to tears
  • Medium warmth (200g) is versatile for varying temperatures
  • Adjustable components allow for a tailored fit
  • Freedom of movement is prioritized by the shoulder gusset design

Cons

  • Requires regular maintenance to keep the fabric waterproof
  • Medium weight may not be sufficient for extreme winter temperatures
  • Neck attachment requires careful alignment for full coverage

Setup, Compatibility & Care

For the best results, start by measuring your horse from the center of the chest to the tail to ensure the correct rug length. When setting up, adjust the front chest clips to sit snugly across the base of the neck, and then secure the leg straps to prevent the rug from blowing back. Maintenance is critical for long-term performance: always brush off excess dried mud after use, as this can degrade the waterproof coating over time. If the rug requires a deep clean, use a gentle hose down or a rug-specific wash, avoiding harsh detergents that can strip the outer membrane. Air dry the rug in a shaded, well-ventilated area to maintain the integrity of the synthetic fibers.
