Extended Product Information

FAQs

What is the primary purpose of this fleece rug?

The primary purpose is to provide warmth and wick moisture away from your horse, making it ideal for drying off after exercise or providing an extra layer of insulation in cooler weather.

Is this rug suitable for turnout?

Yes, the durable fleece makes it suitable for turnout, especially for horses that need an extra layer of warmth or to stay dry. However, monitor weather conditions and the horse's comfort.

How do I clean the rug?

The rug is machine washable at 30°C. Avoid bleach and tumble drying. Reshape while damp and allow to air dry naturally.

What does 'Standard Neck' mean?

'Standard Neck' refers to the cut of the rug around the horse's neck. It's a common fit that doesn't extend high up the neck, designed for general comfort and versatility.

Can I use this rug on a horse that sweats a lot?

Yes, the moisture-wicking properties of the fleece are specifically designed to draw sweat away from the horse's skin, helping them to dry faster and stay more comfortable.

What are the T-clip chest fastenings?

T-clip fastenings are a type of buckle system used at the chest of the rug. They are designed for quick and secure closure, often featuring a 'T' shaped clip that slides into a fitting.

How do the crossed surcingles help?

The crossed surcingles are straps that fasten underneath the horse's belly. They help to keep the rug stable and prevent it from shifting or turning, providing a more secure fit.

Troubleshooting

Rug does not fit securely

Ensure all T-clips and surcingles are fully fastened. Adjust the surcingles for a snugger fit. The fillet string can provide additional security if needed.

Horse appears too warm under the rug

The fleece is breathable, but if the ambient temperature is very high, consider removing the rug or using a lighter alternative. Ensure the rug is not excessively tight.

Fleece material attracting debris

Brush off loose debris regularly with a soft brush. For heavier soiling, follow the washing instructions.
