The Shires Highlander Original 100g Combo Turnout Rug and Neck set is designed for horses needing lightweight warmth and protection during cooler weather or for hardy breeds in cold conditions. Its key benefit is versatile weather protection with a detachable neck cover and a durable, waterproof construction. A potential consideration is ensuring the correct fit, as rug sizing can vary. This rug features a 600 denier ripstop outer, 100g polyfill for insulation, deep shoulder gussets, and adjustable fastenings for a secure fit.

Consult the Horse Rug Size Chart provided. Measure your horse from the bottom of the rug (around the tail) up to the rear point of their shoulder (this is the 'bottom measurement' in feet and inches). Then, match this measurement to the corresponding back measurement in centimeters for the most accurate fit.
The 100g fill provides lightweight warmth. For colder conditions, you can increase the warmth by attaching compatible Shires WarmaRug liners (available separately in 100g or 200g).
The detachable neck cover offers versatile protection. It can be removed on warmer days or when extra warmth isn't needed, and attached for added protection against wind and rain when temperatures drop or during inclement weather.
Wash the rug only when necessary to maintain its performance. Over-washing can degrade the waterproof and breathable properties. Always follow the specific care instructions using non-detergent soap and air drying.
Denier refers to the thickness and strength of the yarn used in the fabric. 600 denier is a strong standard for turnout rugs, and 'ripstop' is a weaving technique that makes the fabric resistant to tearing; if a small tear does occur, the ripstop weave helps to prevent it from spreading.
PFC-free indicates that the rug's durable water repellent (DWR) finish does not contain per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are chemicals that can be harmful to the environment. This signifies an eco-friendlier approach to waterproofing.
Check that the seams are intact and that the durable water repellent (DWR) finish is still active. Clean the rug thoroughly with a non-detergent soap and consider applying a reproofing spray suitable for equestrian rugs.
The rug may be too warm for the current conditions. Consider removing the neck cover or using a liner with a lower fill weight. Ensure the rug is breathable and correctly fitted.
Ensure the shoulder gussets are deep enough and that the rug is not too tight at the chest. Check for any debris caught in the lining. Make sure the rug is the correct size and fitted properly with all straps adjusted.
Adjust the fastenings on the neck cover to achieve a snug fit. Ensure the neck cover is the correct size for your horse's neck and is compatible with the rug.
Setup:
This rug is designed for straightforward use. Ensure the rug is placed evenly over the horse's back, with the contour neck cover properly aligned and secured if attached. Fasten the twin buckle chest straps snugly but comfortably, then adjust the cross surcingles underneath the belly and secure the adjustable fillet strap. Integrated leg strap loops are also present for additional security if leg straps are used.
Compatibility:
The Highlander Original 100g Combo Turnout Rug is compatible with Shires' WarmaRug liners. These liners, available separately in 100g or 200g, can be attached to increase the rug's insulation level for colder weather.
