Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, ensure the chest straps are adjusted so the rug sits snugly but allows for free shoulder movement. Fasten the cross surcingles with enough room for a hand width between the strap and the horse's belly. The rug is fully compatible with the Shires WarmaRug system, allowing you to add liners if the weather turns unexpectedly cold. For maintenance, regularly brush off dried mud to keep the material breathable. When deep cleaning is required, rinse with cold water or a gentle horse rug wash. Always ensure the rug is completely dry before storage to prevent mold or fabric degradation. Avoid harsh detergents that could strip the waterproof coating.
