Product Information

Full details

The Waldhausen Air Mesh Underug is an ideal solution for horse owners seeking superior moisture management and breathability during changing weather conditions. Crafted from high-tech polyester Air Mesh fabric, this under-blanket effectively wicks sweat away while providing light warmth without causing dangerous heat accumulation. While it offers excellent thermal regulation, users should note that it is designed specifically as an under-layer and is not intended for standalone outdoor use without a compatible top blanket.

FAQs

Can I use this under-rug with a different brand of blanket?

While it is specifically optimized for Waldhausen outdoor blankets, it may work with other brands if they have compatible attachment points for Velcro straps.

Is this rug waterproof?

No, the Air Mesh Underug is designed for breathability and is not waterproof. It must be worn under a waterproof outer shell.

How do I choose the right size?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the tail in centimeters. Choose the size that corresponds to your measurement (e.g., 115cm through 165cm).

Can this be washed in a standard washing machine?

Yes, it can be machine washed on a gentle cycle using a mild detergent.

Why is it made of polyester?

Polyester is used for its excellent moisture-wicking properties, durability, and ability to hold its shape after repeated washing.

Troubleshooting

The under-rug is slipping back under the outer rug.

Check that the elasticated Velcro straps are properly threaded through the attachment loops of the outer blanket and are fastened tightly.

The chest area feels too loose.

Adjust the T-fastening to a tighter setting to ensure the chest panel lies flat against the horse's chest.

The horse appears to be sweating excessively.

Ensure the outer blanket is appropriate for the current ambient temperature; the under-rug is highly breathable, but the combined system may be too warm for mild weather.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior breathability prevents sweat buildup
  • Easy to secure with elasticated Velcro attachments
  • Perfectly compatible with the full range of Waldhausen outdoor blankets
  • Lightweight design ensures horse comfort without excess bulk
  • Simple T-fastening chest closure for quick application

Cons

  • Not suitable for use as a standalone rug
  • Does not provide heavy insulation for extreme cold
  • Requires an outer rug to be water-resistant

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, first place the under-rug over the horse and secure the T-fastening at the chest. Align the Velcro attachment points on the shoulders and back with the corresponding connection points inside your Waldhausen outdoor blanket. Press the Velcro firmly to ensure a secure bond.

For care, the polyester material is easy to maintain. It should be machine washed on a gentle cycle with a mild, horse-safe detergent to preserve the integrity of the mesh structure. Always air dry the rug in a well-ventilated area away from direct heat sources. Avoid using harsh bleaches or fabric softeners, as these can clog the air-mesh pores and inhibit breathability.
