No, this is a stable rug and is not waterproof. It should only be used indoors or under a waterproof turnout rug.
It depends on the horse's clip, the stable temperature, and the horse's natural hardiness; it is often used as a base layer for very cold weather.
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to find the appropriate size in feet and inches.
Yes, it is generally machine washable, but always refer to the specific care label on the rug and use a gentle, non-biological detergent.
Denier refers to the thickness and durability of the fabric; 210 is a lightweight, comfortable weave ideal for indoor use.
Check the cross surcingles for even tension and ensure the chest buckles are adjusted correctly for the horse's build.
Ensure the front buckles are not done too tightly and consider a chest expander or shoulder guard if the issue persists.
To achieve the best fit, start by draping the rug over the horse's back and fastening the chest buckles, ensuring the rug sits comfortably at the wither without being too tight. Adjust the cross surcingles so there is a hand's width between the strap and the horse's belly. The fillet string should be secured to prevent the tail flap from blowing up in windy stable conditions. To maintain the rug, regularly brush off hair and debris from the 210 denier outer. If cleaning is required, ensure it is machine washed according to the manufacturer's care tag instructions, typically using a gentle cycle with specialized horse rug detergent, and allow it to air dry completely before returning it to the stable.
