Full details

The Cath Kidston Strawberry Rain Sheet & Fly Rug Combo is an ideal solution for horse owners looking to protect their equine partners during unpredictable spring and summer weather. This hybrid design offers the perfect balance of waterproof defense and fly protection, though users should note it is intended for light rain rather than heavy downpours due to its breathable side panels. Its combination of 600D ripstop fabric and airy mesh ensures your horse remains dry during showers while staying cool and shielded from insects and UV rays in the field.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this rug completely waterproof?

It is waterproof on the top 600D section, but the side mesh panels are breathable and not intended to be waterproof.

Can the neck cover be removed?

Yes, the neck cover is detachable, allowing you to use it as a standard rug when fly protection or extra coverage is not required.

Does it provide fly protection?

Yes, the mesh side panels are specifically designed to act as a barrier against flies and other insects while maintaining airflow.

How do I measure my horse for this rug?

Measure from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to ensure you select the correct size for your horse.

Can this be machine washed?

It is recommended to hand wash or hose down the rug to preserve the structural integrity of the waterproof fabric and the mesh panels.

What is the weight of the fabric?

The waterproof topline is constructed from 600D ripstop nylon, providing a durable balance between protection and weight.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Check that the three surcingles are adjusted evenly and the tail strap is at the correct tension to keep the rug centered.

Water soaking through the top panel

The waterproof coating may be wearing off; consider reapplying a rug-safe waterproofing spray after the rug is cleaned and fully dried.

Shoulder rubbing

Ensure the chest fastenings are not too tight and check that the shoulder pleats are free of obstructions.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile for both rain and sun protection
  • Stylish signature Strawberry Garden print
  • Excellent breathability in high-temperature conditions
  • Reduces the need for multiple rug types in a single day
  • Easy to adjust with chest fastenings and removable neck

Cons

  • Not suitable for sustained heavy rainfall
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain the waterproof coating
  • Mesh panels are prone to snagging on sharp fence wire or bushes

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best fit, start by securing the chest fastenings while standing in front of the horse. Once the fit is adjusted, close the three surcingle straps underneath, ensuring they are snug but have about a hand's width of space between the strap and the horse's belly.

Care Instructions

  • Regularly inspect the mesh panels for debris, such as burrs or twigs.
  • Clean the rug by gently hosing off surface mud; do not use high-pressure washers as this can damage the waterproof coating.
  • If the rug requires deep cleaning, use a mild, rug-safe soap and lukewarm water.
  • Always hang the rug to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area to prevent mildew and degradation of the UV-protective fabric.
