Product Information
Full details
The Rhinegold Elite Fleece Horse Rug is designed for horse owners seeking a versatile, high-quality layer for stable use, travel, or show presentations. Crafted from premium anti-pill fleece, it effectively wicks moisture to keep your horse dry and warm while maintaining excellent breathability. While it offers superior comfort and a stylish aesthetic, owners should note it is intended for moderate temperatures and is not a waterproof turnout rug for harsh, wet outdoor conditions.

Extended Product Information
FAQs
Is this rug waterproof?
No, the Rhinegold Elite Fleece is designed for moisture-wicking and warmth, not as a turnout rug for rain.
Can I use this for turnout?
It is intended for stable use, travel, or as an under-layer. It is not recommended for turnout in wet or muddy conditions.
How do I wash the rug?
Machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle using a mild detergent suitable for horse blankets.
Is the material prone to pilling?
The rug is made from high-quality anti-pill fleece, which is specifically designed to resist bobbling over time.
What is the purpose of the fillet string?
The fillet string helps keep the back of the rug secure and prevents it from blowing over the horse's back during movement.
Troubleshooting
The rug slips to one side
Check that the cross-over surcingles are adjusted evenly and ensure the fillet string is properly attached to the rear of the rug.
The chest area is loose
Tighten the adjustable chest straps incrementally, ensuring you can still slide a flat hand under the fabric for your horse's comfort.
Fleece feels damp or heavy
The rug has likely reached its saturation point; remove it and replace it with a dry rug to allow the fleece to evaporate moisture.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, start by measuring your horse from the center of the chest to the tail. Secure the rug by first fastening the adjustable chest straps, then closing the cross-over surcingles, and finally attaching the fillet string. When caring for your rug, machine wash on a cool setting with mild detergent to preserve the integrity of the fleece fabric. Always air dry the rug rather than using a high-heat tumble dryer to prevent shrinking or damage to the synthetic bindings. Regularly inspect straps and buckles for signs of wear and ensure they are kept free of mud or grit to maintain their adjustment range.
