No, this is a 'Lite' rug and does not provide thermal insulation. It is best used for wet, mild weather.

Measure from the center of the chest to the center of the tail to find your horse's correct size in feet and inches.
No, the Highlander Original Lite Combo features an integrated, non-detachable neck cover.
It features integrated leg strap loops, though the straps themselves may be included or sold separately depending on the specific package.
Check the tension of the cross surcingles and ensure the leg straps are properly threaded and adjusted.
Ensure the seams are not compromised and consider re-proofing if the rug has been washed multiple times; check that the chest closure is tight enough to prevent rain ingress.
Check the rug sizing; if the neck is too large, the rug may slide backward, causing friction. Ensure the chest straps are tightened appropriately.
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.
