While it provides excellent protection, owners should note that the standard neck design may not be suitable for horses prone to significant rubbing at the mane compared to combo-neck styles.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this blanket fully waterproof?

Yes, the 1200 denier ripstop shell features a repel shell coating designed to keep your horse dry in rain and moderate snow.

What is the benefit of the side gusset?

The side gusset allows for greater range of motion at the shoulder, preventing the blanket from restricting the horse's natural movement.

Can I machine wash this blanket?

It is recommended to follow the care label, typically using a cold water wash with specialized rug detergent; avoid using dryers.

Is the neck cover included?

No, this is a standard neck model, meaning it does not come with an integrated or detachable neck cover.

How do I choose the right size for my horse?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to determine the appropriate length in feet and inches.

Is the 220g fill heavy enough for winter?

It is a medium weight. For extreme winter conditions or clipped horses in very cold areas, you may need a heavier weight or a liner.

Troubleshooting

The rug is sliding to one side.

Check that the cross surcingles are adjusted evenly and the front buckles are not too loose.

The horse is damp underneath the rug.

Ensure the weight of the rug (220g) is appropriate for the current ambient temperature to prevent overheating.

Outer fabric has small tears.

Use a specialized turnout rug repair kit or patches to maintain the waterproof integrity of the ripstop shell.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-durability 1200 denier fabric resists rips and tears.
  • Waterproof and breathable coating keeps the horse dry and comfortable.
  • Includes essential safety features like adjustable leg straps and surcingles.
  • Boa fleece at the wither minimizes potential hair loss or skin irritation.

Cons

  • Standard neck design leaves the upper neck area exposed to the elements.
  • Requires proper measurement to ensure the medium weight is suitable for the specific temperature range.
  • Not suitable for extremely cold winter climates without layering.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longest life for your turnout rug, proper care is essential.

  1. Fitting: Ensure the front buckles are adjusted so the blanket sits comfortably without sliding back.
  2. Cleaning: Use a soft brush or hose to remove mud from the outer shell. If the blanket requires a deep wash, use mild, horse-safe detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals that can strip the waterproof repellent coating.
  3. Storage: Always dry the rug completely before storing it in a cool, dark, and dry area to prevent mold growth.
  4. Maintenance: Regularly check the leg straps and cross surcingles for wear and tear to ensure the blanket stays securely positioned.
