The Shires Tempest Original 100 Combo Neck Horse Rug is designed for horse owners seeking a versatile, mid-weight layer for unpredictable transitional weather. Featuring a 100gsm fill and durable 210D ripstop polyester, it provides excellent protection against light rain and chilly temperatures while maintaining breathability; however, users should note that the 210D outer layer is better suited for managed turnout rather than horses prone to extremely rough play in thorny pastures.

The Shires Tempest Original is designed with water-resistant properties suitable for light to moderate rain showers.
Yes, but be aware that the 210D outer layer is lighter than some heavyweight rugs and may be prone to tearing if the horse engages in very rough play.
This refers to the grams per square meter of insulation inside the rug. 100gsm is considered a 'lightweight' fill, providing enough warmth to take the chill off without causing overheating.
Ensure the rug is clean and bone-dry, then store it in a cool, dry place, ideally in a breathable storage bag.
Yes, the belly surcingles are adjustable to ensure a snug, safe fit for your horse.
Ensure the touch-fastening tabs are tightened appropriately for the horse's neck size and checked regularly.
Check that both belly surcingles are adjusted to the same length and are not too loose.
Re-proof the rug using a specialized wash-in reproofer after cleaning to restore the water-resistant finish.
To set up the rug, place it gently over the horse's back, fastening the chest straps first to ensure stability. Align the neck cover and secure the touch-fastening tabs firmly so they do not sag. Finally, adjust the crossed belly surcingles to ensure there is about a hand's width between the strap and the horse's belly for safety.
For care, remove excess mud with a soft brush when dry. If the rug requires a deep clean, wash it in cold water on a gentle cycle using a non-detergent soap designed for horse rugs to maintain the water-resistant properties of the polyester. Always air dry the rug completely before storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
