Product Information
Full details
The LeMieux Kudos 200g Stable Rug is designed for horse owners seeking a durable, comfortable, and functional rug for stable use. Its key benefit lies in its robust construction and thoughtful features that promote warmth and prevent irritation, especially for horses that lie down frequently. A potential consideration is that the neck cover is sold separately, requiring an additional purchase for full coverage. This rug boasts a 1000 denier rip-stop outer, Thermobonded polyester fill, padded wither, and a seam-free spine.

FAQs
What weight is the fill in the LeMieux Kudos Stable Rug?
The LeMieux Kudos Stable Rug features a 200g Thermobonded polyester fill, providing a good balance of warmth for stable use.
Is the neck cover included with this rug?
No, the neck cover for the LeMieux Kudos Stable Rug is sold separately.
How do I wash the Kudos Stable Rug?
The rug is machine washable at 30°C on a gentle cycle using a non-biological detergent. Reshape while damp and air dry only. Ensure all fastenings are closed before washing.
What makes the lining beneficial for my horse's coat?
The rug is lined with an antibacterial and antistatic microfiber. This helps to keep the horse's coat healthy, reduces static cling, and provides a soft, warm feel.
Can this rug be used for turnout?
This rug is primarily designed for stable use due to its construction and fill. While the outer is durable, it is not specifically intended for turnout, especially in wet or muddy conditions.
What is the advantage of Thermobonded polyester fill?
Thermobonded fill is bonded through heat, which prevents it from shifting, bunching, or becoming flat over time, ensuring consistent warmth and loft.
Why does the rug have shoulder gussets?
Shoulder gussets are incorporated to allow for a greater range of movement, preventing restriction and ensuring the horse can move comfortably while wearing the rug.
Troubleshooting
Rug appears to be rubbing the horse's wither or shoulders.
Ensure the rug is the correct size and fitted properly. Adjust the chest fastenings to be snug but not tight. Make sure the padded wither is correctly positioned. Consider if a different rug style or a rug liner might be beneficial.
Fill seems to have bunched after washing.
Ensure the rug was washed on a gentle cycle with appropriate detergent and that it was air-dried completely. Thermobonded fill is designed to prevent bunching, but improper washing or drying can sometimes affect its consistency.
The rug is not staying securely in place.
Check that the belly surcingles are fastened correctly and are at an appropriate tension. Ensure the fillet strap is attached and adjusted properly. If the horse is particularly active, consider if a rug with additional fastening points might be needed.
Horse seems too warm or too cold.
The 200g fill is suited for moderate stable conditions. For colder weather, consider layering with a lighter weight rug underneath. For warmer conditions, a lighter weight rug or no rug may be more appropriate. Always monitor your horse's temperature.
