FAQs

What is the Denier and GSM of this stable quilt?

The Rhinegold 'Orlando' Stable Quilt is made from 600 Denier polyester with a 300gsm (grams per square meter) polyfill insulation.

Does the neck cover come with the stable quilt?

No, the neck cover for the Rhinegold 'Orlando' Stable Quilt is available for purchase separately.

Can this rug be used for turnout?

No, this stable quilt is designed specifically for use in the stable and is not waterproof or suitable for turnout.

How do I wash the stable quilt?

Machine wash at 30 degrees on a gentle cycle with a specialized rug wash. Avoid fabric softener and do not tumble dry. Rinse thoroughly and air dry.

What are the primary benefits of the 300gsm polyfill?

The 300gsm polyfill provides a high level of insulation, making the rug very warm and ideal for colder stable conditions or horses that feel the cold.

What other colors are available for the 'Orlando' range?

While this guide focuses on the Blue variant, the Rhinegold 'Orlando' range is also available in other colors, such as Red, as indicated by sibling products.

Is this rug suitable for a horse that sweats easily?

The quilt is breathable, which helps manage temperature. However, for horses that sweat very easily, especially in milder weather, a lighter weight rug might be more appropriate, or ensure the stable is well-ventilated.

Troubleshooting

Horse seems too hot or cold

Adjust the rugging layers. If too hot, consider a lighter weight rug or removing it. If too cold, ensure the neck cover (if applicable) is fitted, or consider adding a lighter under-rug in extreme conditions.

Rug is slipping or rubbing

Check the fit. Ensure surcingles and chest straps are adjusted correctly – snug but not tight. Make sure the rug is the appropriate size for the horse.

Material appears less breathable

Ensure no fabric softeners were used during washing. Check for excessive dirt or mud buildup that might be obstructing airflow; clean as per care instructions.

Seams are coming undone

Repair small tears or loose threads immediately with strong thread and a needle to prevent further damage. For larger issues, consult a professional rug repair service.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: This stable quilt is designed to be placed directly on the horse. Ensure the rug fits correctly, with no pulling or excessive looseness. Check that surcingles and leg straps are securely fastened but not too tight.

Compatibility: The Rhinegold 'Orlando' Stable Quilt is designed for stable use. It is compatible with most standard horse rugs if additional layering is required in extreme cold, though its heavyweight nature often makes this unnecessary. Please note that the neck cover is sold separately and must be purchased to provide full coverage.

Care: To maintain the quilt's performance and longevity:

  1. Washing: Machine wash at 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Use a specialized rug wash or a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the fabric's water-repellent properties and breathability.
  2. Rinsing: Ensure the rug is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent.
  3. Drying: Do not tumble dry. Air dry away from direct heat sources. It is advisable to dry rugs on a rug rack or line. Ensure the rug is completely dry before storing or re-using.
  4. Repairs: Mend any small tears or seam splits promptly to prevent them from widening.
