Full details

The Cath Kidston Strawberry Rain Sheet & Fly Rug Combo is an ideal solution for horse owners seeking a versatile turnout rug that balances weather protection with insect defense. Designed for horses in temperate, changeable climates, this hybrid rug features a waterproof ripstop topline combined with breathable mesh sides to prevent overheating during warmer, showery days. While it offers excellent multifunctionality for spring and summer, users should note it is intended for light showers rather than heavy, prolonged downpours.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Is this rug waterproof?

The topline is made from 600D ripstop waterproof material, designed to protect against light rain and showers.

Can I leave this rug on all day?

Yes, it is designed for daily turnout, provided the temperature and weather conditions are appropriate for the rug's specifications.

How do I attach the neck cover?

The neck cover attaches using the provided secure fastenings or D-rings located at the neck area of the rug.

What is the primary material?

The rug is constructed from durable polyester fabric with a specialized waterproof ripstop finish on the top sections.

Does it offer protection against flies?

Yes, the mesh side panels act as a barrier to flies and biting insects while maintaining airflow to keep the horse cool.

Troubleshooting

The rug is slipping to one side.

Check that the three surcingle straps are adjusted to the correct length—they should be firm but not tight, allowing a hand's width between the strap and the horse's belly.

Signs of rubbing on the chest.

Ensure the front fastenings are not set too loosely. If the rug is too large, it may drop and cause friction; consider using a chest expander or ensuring the shoulder pleats are clear of debris.

Water is soaking through the topline.

The waterproof coating may be wearing thin. Clean the rug and consider applying a dedicated rug reproofer spray designed for synthetic turnout materials.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Versatile hybrid functionality for rain and fly protection
  • Stylish signature Strawberry Garden aesthetic
  • Excellent airflow provided by breathable mesh side panels
  • Soft lining prevents hair breakage and rubbing at friction points
  • Secure triple-surcingle system enhances stability

Cons

  • Not suitable for heavy or persistent rainfall
  • Polyester material may attract burrs in some field environments
  • Requires careful cleaning to maintain the waterproof membrane

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the chest fastenings are adjusted so that the rug sits comfortably at the base of the neck without sagging. The detachable neck cover should be secured firmly to the rug's D-rings to prevent it from slipping during movement.

For maintenance, it is recommended to brush off dried mud or debris regularly. When the rug requires a thorough clean, use a mild, specialized rug detergent and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or biological washing powders, as these can strip the waterproof coating from the 600D ripstop material. Always air dry the rug naturally away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or damage to the fabric integrity.
