FAQs

What is the fill weight of this turnout rug?

This is a 50g polyfill turnout rug, providing a light layer of warmth.

Is this rug suitable for very cold weather?

The 50g fill is designed for milder conditions. For colder weather, you can add layers using the compatible WeatherBeeta liner system.

How do I clean the rug to maintain its waterproofness?

Clean with a rug-specific cleaner and cold water, avoiding harsh detergents. Ensure it is thoroughly rinsed and line dried. Do not tumble dry or use bleach.

What does '1200 denier ripstop' mean?

Denier refers to the thickness or strength of the yarn. 1200 denier is a high tenacity rating, indicating a very strong and durable fabric. Ripstop means the fabric has a special weaving technique that makes it resistant to tearing.

Can I use this rug with a liner?

Yes, this rug is compatible with the WeatherBeeta Liner System, allowing you to customize the warmth level.

What is the benefit of the fleece wither pad?

The fleece wither pad provides extra cushioning at the horse's withers, helping to prevent rubbing and discomfort in that sensitive area.

How do I check if the rug fits correctly?

The rug should cover the horse comfortably without restricting movement. Ensure the front closures are snug but not tight, the surcingles are secure, and the leg straps are comfortable. There should be no pulling at the shoulder or excessive bunching.

What is the warranty on this rug?

WeatherBeeta offers a 3-year warranty on waterproofness, hardware, and breathability for this rug.

Troubleshooting

Rug is leaking or no longer waterproof

The waterproof coating may have degraded or the fabric may be worn. Ensure the rug has been cleaned according to care instructions. For minor issues, a re-waterproofing treatment may help. For significant damage, consider repair or replacement.

Horse is rubbing or experiencing discomfort

Check the fit of the rug, ensuring it is not too tight or too loose. Adjust the front closures and surcingles. Ensure the fleece wither pad is correctly positioned. Clean the rug to remove any accumulated dirt or debris that might cause irritation.

Rug slips to one side

Ensure the twin cross surcingles are correctly secured and adjusted. Check the leg straps are attached and adjusted properly for stability. A poorly fitting rug can also contribute to slipping.

Reflective elements are fading

Reflective materials can wear down over time with washing and use. Clean the rug gently and avoid harsh scrubbing on the reflective areas. While fading is normal wear, ensure overall visibility is still adequate.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Unfold the rug and inspect for any damage.
  2. Place the rug over your horse, ensuring the fleece wither pad is positioned correctly at the wither.
  3. Fasten the twin adjustable quick clip front closures, using the touch tape for a snug yet comfortable fit.
  4. Secure the twin low cross surcingles, ensuring they are snug but not too tight.
  5. Attach the adjustable, removable leg straps and ensure they are comfortable and provide stability.
  6. Check the tail flap is positioned correctly for maximum coverage.

Compatibility:

  • This rug is compatible with the WeatherBeeta Liner System (sold separately). Liners can be added or removed to adjust the rug's warmth for different weather conditions.

Care:

  • Cleaning: To maintain the rug's waterproof and breathable properties, it should be cleaned regularly. Brush off loose dirt and mud. For deeper cleaning, use a rug-specific cleaner and cold water. Avoid harsh detergents, fabric softeners, or bleach, as these can damage the fabric and its coatings.
  • Washing: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (typically 30°C). Ensure all fastenings are closed before washing.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Line dry the rug away from direct heat sources. Ensure the rug is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Repairs: Small tears or seam damage should be repaired promptly using appropriate rug repair kits to prevent them from worsening and compromising the rug's integrity.
