FAQs

Is this rug waterproof?

Yes, the 1680 Denier outer shell is designed to be highly durable and waterproof for outdoor use.

Can I use this rug without the neck piece?

Yes, the neck piece is fully detachable, allowing you to use it as a standard rug when the hood is not needed.

Is 200g polyfil suitable for deep winter?

200g is a medium-weight insulation. Depending on your horse's breed and climate, it may be suitable for autumn or early winter, but may require layering for extreme cold.

How should I clean the rug?

Use a soft brush to remove dried mud and hose down with cold water. Avoid harsh soaps or washing machines that could damage the waterproof layer.

Does this rug come in different sizes?

Yes, the Mackey Wicklow range is available in various sizes to accommodate different horse measurements.

Troubleshooting

Neck cover keeps slipping down

Adjust the hood straps to ensure they are snug against the horse's neck and check that all neck attachments are securely clipped.

Shoulder rubs appearing

Check that the chest closure is not too tight and ensure the shoulder gussets are positioned correctly over the point of the shoulder.

Rug is sliding to one side

Ensure the leg straps are adjusted to the correct length and are properly crossed between the horse's back legs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable 1680 Denier outer material
  • Versatile detach-a-neck design for changing weather
  • Excellent freedom of movement due to shoulder gussets
  • Secure fit with adjustable clips and straps

Cons

  • Polyester construction requires proper care to maintain waterproof coating
  • Medium weight may be too warm for mild autumn days
  • Requires proper measurement to ensure shoulder gussets align correctly

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, begin by adjusting the chest clips to match the width of your horse's chest, ensuring a snug but not tight fit. Attach the neck cover using the designated fasteners, checking that the rouched section sits comfortably behind the ears. For care, avoid using heavy detergents, as these can strip the waterproof membrane of the 1680 Denier polyester. Instead, brush off dried mud with a soft brush and hose down with cold water when necessary. Always ensure the rug is completely dry before folding it for seasonal storage to prevent mold or mildew growth.
