Full details

FAQs

Can I put this rug in the tumble dryer?

Yes, this rug is suitable for tumble drying, provided the temperature settings are appropriate.

Does the neck piece stay up when the horse grazes?

The neck piece is designed with extra width for mobility and can be secured to the headcollar to keep it positioned correctly while the horse grazes.

How do I ensure the rug lasts longer?

Regularly brush off mud, check for small tears that need stitching, and always close all velcro fastenings before machine washing.

Is the belly guard removable?

The belly guard is designed as an integrated part of the rug for maximum coverage.

What temperature should I wash the rug at?

The rug is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius.

Troubleshooting

Neck cover keeps slipping down

Ensure the velcro attachments are securely fastened to the headcollar and check that the front chest closure isn't pulling the neck piece backward.

Velcro stops sticking

Check for debris, hay, or hair trapped in the hooks of the velcro and remove them using a stiff brush or a metal comb.

Rug shifting during turn-out

Adjust the tension of the leg straps; they should be loose enough to allow movement but snug enough to hold the rug in place.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Integrated neck cover provides head-to-tail protection
  • Belly guard prevents insects from targeting the underside
  • Tear-resistant fabric ensures long-lasting durability
  • Machine washable for easy maintenance
  • Adjustable straps allow for a customizable fit

Cons

  • Requires careful measurement to ensure the neck fit is correct
  • Velcro fasteners require regular cleaning to remain sticky
  • Polyester material may be warm in extreme heat conditions

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, place it over the horse and secure the front chest closures first, ensuring they are not too tight to allow for comfortable neck movement. Secure the belly guard using the provided fasteners, ensuring a snug but not restrictive fit. The neck cover can be attached to the headcollar using the integrated velcro straps to keep it from slipping down. For care, this rug is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius and can be tumble dried. It is critical to fasten all velcro/touch-close strips before placing the item in the washing machine to prevent damage to the fabric and loss of fastening strength.
