Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux Arika Clima-Tek Rug is designed for horse owners who need a reliable way to manage their horse's post-exercise cooling and moisture evaporation without risking chills. Its core benefit lies in the advanced multi-layer fabric that actively wicks moisture while maintaining muscle warmth, though users should note it is specifically engineered for cooler conditions rather than peak summer heat.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this rug waterproof?

No, the Clima-Tek rug is designed for moisture-wicking and cooling; it is not intended for turnout in the rain.

Can I leave this on overnight?

It is intended primarily for active cooling periods, such as immediately after exercise or bathing.

How do I ensure the best fit?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to find the corresponding size.

Does the fabric shrink in the wash?

If washed according to instructions—using cool water and air drying—the polyester fabric should maintain its shape and size.

Is it safe for a horse that likes to roll?

The secure cross surcingles and fillet cord help the rug stay in place, but no rug is entirely roll-proof.

Troubleshooting

Rug shifts to one side

Check that the cross surcingles are adjusted evenly and ensure the T-bar front closure is properly centered.

Horse remains damp after long use

Ensure the rug is not being overloaded by excessive moisture; shake out or dry the rug between uses if it becomes saturated.

Surcingle buckles slipping

Verify that the straps are threaded correctly through the slider/buckle mechanism and check for any debris in the fastener.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent moisture-wicking properties
  • Prevents rapid heat loss to protect muscles
  • Secure, adjustable fit for various body types
  • Durable construction materials
  • Ideal for post-transport and post-bath cooling

Cons

  • Not intended for use in high-temperature summer weather
  • Requires specific care to maintain fabric technology
  • Limited to specific size ranges for fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, place it over the horse's back ensuring the front T-bars are centered. Secure the chest fasteners first, then adjust the cross surcingles until they sit snugly against the belly—you should be able to fit a hand’s width between the strap and the horse. Finally, secure the fillet cord at the rear to anchor the rug.

Care Instructions:

  • Always brush off excess hair and dirt before washing to ensure the fabric remains breathable.
  • Machine wash on a cool cycle using a non-biological detergent.
  • Air dry in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources to prevent the technical fabric from warping.
  • Check fastenings regularly for any signs of wear to ensure the safety of your horse.
