Troubleshooting
Rug is leaking water
Ensure the rug is properly reproofed. Check for any tears or damaged seams that may require repair. Always ensure the rug is clean before use, as dirt can impede breathability and water repellency.
Rug is slipping or shifting
Adjust the cross surcingles and fillet string for a more secure fit. Ensure the chest straps are correctly fastened. Check that the rug is the correct size for your horse.
Horse appears too hot or cold
The 100g fill is designed for moderate temperatures. For colder weather, consider adding a WarmaRug liner. For warmer conditions, a lighter weight rug may be more appropriate.
Rubbing or discomfort on the horse
Ensure the rug is clean and the seams are smooth. Check that the chest straps, surcingles, and leg straps are not too tight. The deep shoulder gussets are designed for freedom of movement; if rubbing occurs, ensure the rug size is correct and fits properly.
