Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this rug waterproof?

No, the Rastrick V2 is designed specifically as a stable rug and is not intended for outdoor turnout.

Can I remove the neck cover?

Yes, the neck cover is fully detachable, allowing for extra versatility depending on the stable temperature.

How do I measure for this rug?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to determine the correct size.

What is the benefit of the faux fur witherpad?

It provides extra cushioning to reduce pressure and prevent hair loss or sores caused by rubbing at the withers.

How should I store this rug in the summer?

Clean the rug, ensure it is completely dry, and store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable rug bag.

Are the surcingles adjustable?

Yes, the crossed belly surcingles are adjustable to ensure a secure and comfortable fit for different horse shapes.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Check the tension on the crossed belly surcingles and ensure the fillet strap is correctly attached.

Chest clips feeling loose

Use the slider adjustment on the T-clip fastenings to tighten the fit and ensure the velcro chest catch is securely fastened.

Build-up of dirt on the fillet strap

Since it is PVC-coated, wipe it down with a damp cloth or sponge after each use.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Detachable neck allows for versatile usage depending on the weather.
  • Faux fur witherpad prevents rubbing and improves comfort.
  • 250g fill provides significant warmth for cold stable nights.
  • Easy-to-clean PVC fillet strap simplifies maintenance.

Cons

  • Not suitable for outdoor turnout as it is not waterproof.
  • Requires careful storage to maintain the loft of the 250g fill.
  • Only available in limited colorways.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, place it gently over the horse's back, ensuring the faux fur witherpad is positioned comfortably. Adjust the chest clips using the slider to achieve a snug fit without restricting movement. Attach the belly surcingles, ensuring they are adjusted so you can fit a hand's width between the strap and the horse's belly. For care, regularly brush off stable dust and debris. If the rug requires deep cleaning, follow the manufacturer's care label guidelines, typically involving a gentle cycle with non-biological detergent, and always allow the rug to air dry completely to preserve the integrity of the insulation.
