FAQs

What weight is the polyfill in this rug?

This rug features 200g of polyfill, providing a light-to-medium level of insulation suitable for most winter conditions.

Is this rug suitable for heavy rain?

Yes, the rug has a 600D waterproof outer designed to protect your horse from wet weather, including rain.

How do I ensure the best fit for my horse?

Accurate measurement is key. Measure from the centre of the chest to the rear of the hindquarters. Consult the brand's sizing chart, and ensure the surcingles, leg straps, and front closures are adjusted correctly without being too tight or too loose.

Can I use this rug with a rug liner?

Yes, rug liners can be used with this turnout rug to add extra warmth during colder periods, provided they are compatible with the rug's fastening system.

What does the combo neck design offer?

The combo neck design provides integrated coverage for the horse's neck, offering additional warmth and protection against wind and rain compared to a standard neck rug.

How often should I re-waterproof the rug?

It is generally recommended to re-waterproof the rug annually, or after significant cleaning, to maintain its water-repellent properties. Always follow the product instructions for the waterproofing treatment.

What is the primary benefit of the reflective detailing?

The reflective detailing on the chest and tail flap enhances your horse's visibility during low-light conditions, such as dawn, dusk, or overcast weather, improving safety.

Troubleshooting

Rug is not waterproof after washing

The waterproof coating may have degraded. Reapply a suitable rug waterproofing treatment following the manufacturer's instructions.

Rug slips to one side

Check that the cross surcingles are correctly adjusted and fastened. Ensure the leg straps are also secured properly. The rug may be the wrong size or shape for your horse.

Horse seems too hot or too cold

The 200g fill is suitable for light-medium conditions. For colder weather, consider adding a liner. For warmer days, a lighter weight rug may be more appropriate.

Rub marks appearing on the horse

Ensure the rug fits correctly. Check for any internal seams or rough patches that might be causing irritation. Make sure the neck section is not too tight or too loose.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. A proper fit is essential for comfort and to prevent rubbing.
  2. Drape the rug over your horse's back, aligning the wither pad (if applicable) and the neck area.
  3. Secure the front closures.
  4. Fasten the cross surcingles, ensuring they are snug but not too tight.
  5. Attach the leg straps, adjusting them for a comfortable fit.
  6. Ensure the tail flap is correctly positioned.

Compatibility:

This rug is designed for standard turnout and is compatible with most horses. The combo neck offers maximum coverage, which may be preferable for horses with a lower clipped mane or those prone to chills. It is suitable for use in wet and cold weather conditions typical of autumn and winter.

Care:

  • Cleaning: This rug is machine washable. It is recommended to wash on a gentle cycle at a low temperature (typically 30°C).
  • Detergent: Use a specialized rug-washing detergent or a mild, non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softeners, as they can damage the waterproofing and breathability of the fabric.
  • Rinsing: Ensure the rug is thoroughly rinsed to remove all detergent residue.
  • Waterproofing: After washing, it is advisable to re-waterproof the rug using a suitable spray or reproofing treatment to maintain its performance. Follow the instructions on the reproofing product carefully.
  • Drying: Do not tumble dry. Hang the rug to air dry naturally, away from direct heat sources. Ensure the rug is completely dry before storing or re-fitting to prevent mildew.
