FAQs

What type of weather is this rug best suited for?

This 50g turnout rug is ideal for transitional seasons with mild temperatures and wet conditions, offering waterproof and breathable protection.

Can I use this rug in very cold weather?

The 50g fill provides light insulation. For colder weather, it is recommended to use the Arika liner system with heavier weight liners for added warmth.

How do I clean the Arika Ripstop rug?

Brush off loose dirt, then machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C with non-bio detergent. Rinse well and air dry. Do not tumble dry.

Is the detachable neck cover included?

Yes, the rug comes with a detachable neck cover to provide versatile coverage options.

What does the 600 Denier ripstop outer mean?

This refers to the toughness and durability of the fabric. The ripstop weave helps prevent small tears from spreading, and the 600 Denier indicates a good level of robustness for turnout.

How does the Arika liner system work?

The rug has attachment points at the neck and rear where compatible Arika liners can be secured, allowing you to adjust the rug's warmth for different weather conditions.

What is the waterproof rating?

The rug has a waterproof rating of 3000mm, meaning it can withstand a significant amount of water pressure while remaining watertight.

Does the rug have reflective elements?

Yes, the rug features reflective details to make your horse more visible in low-light conditions.

Troubleshooting

Rug is not waterproof

Check for tears or damage to the ripstop material. Ensure all seams are intact. Re-waterproof with a suitable spray if necessary, following product instructions.

Horse appears too warm or too cold

Adjust coverage by removing or attaching the neck cover. Consider adding or removing Arika liners to achieve the desired temperature regulation.

Surcingles or leg straps are loose

Adjust the straps to a secure, but not overly tight, fit. Ensure the crossed surcingles are positioned correctly under the belly and the elasticated leg straps are attached to the correct points.

Lining is bunching or slipping

Ensure the rug is the correct size and fitted properly. The thermobonded fill is designed to prevent bunching, so significant slippage may indicate an incorrect fit or an unusually active horse.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent waterproofing and breathability for horse comfort.
  • Versatile with detachable neck and liner system compatibility.
  • Designed for freedom of movement and reduced pressure points.
  • Durable ripstop material suitable for transitional weather.
  • Easy to clean fillet strap.

Cons

  • The 50g fill may not be sufficient for colder weather without additional liners.
  • Requires separate purchase of Arika liners for full seasonal temperature control.
  • Ripstop material, while durable, can still be susceptible to severe tears.
  • Color may be prone to showing dirt.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: Ensure the rug is correctly sized for your horse. Secure the patented 45° T-bar front closure first, followed by the crossed surcingles beneath the belly. Attach the elasticated leg straps for added security. If using, attach the detachable neck cover. For enhanced temperature control, connect Arika liners to the designated attachment points at the neck and rear.

Compatibility: This rug is compatible with the LeMieux Arika liner system. Always ensure liners are designed for this specific system.

Care: Clean the PVC-coated fillet strap with a damp cloth. For the rug itself, brush off loose dirt and debris. Machine wash on a gentle cycle at 30°C, using a non-bio detergent. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry naturally. Avoid tumble drying or direct heat. Regular cleaning will help maintain the waterproof and breathable properties of the material. Ensure the rug is completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
