Product Information

Full details

The LeMieux Kudos 100g Stable Rug is designed for horses that spend time in the stable and tend to lay down, offering durable protection and consistent warmth. Its key benefit is the 1000 denier rip-stop outer that effectively repels stains and moisture, while the thermobonded fill ensures even distribution and comfort. A potential consideration is that while it repels moisture, it is a stable rug and not designed for turnout in wet conditions.

FAQs

What is the denier rating of the outer material?

The LeMieux Kudos 100g Stable Rug features a robust 1000 denier rip-stop outer.

Is this rug suitable for turnout in the rain?

No, this is a stable rug designed for use inside the stable. While the outer material repels moisture and stains, it is not waterproof and is not intended for turnout in wet weather.

How should I wash the stable rug?

The rug is machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius using a non-biological, non-detergent-based rug wash. Avoid fabric softeners and air dry only.

What does 'Thermobonded polyester fill' mean?

Thermobonded fill means the polyester fibers are bonded together using heat, which helps the fill maintain its shape and loft, preventing it from shifting or bunching up inside the rug for even warmth.

Can I use this rug in very cold weather?

The 100g fill provides moderate warmth. For very cold conditions, it is recommended to layer this rug with a heavier weight stable rug or a suitable liner.

What is the benefit of the antibacterial, antistatic lining?

The lining helps to keep the horse's coat healthy by reducing static electricity, which can cause discomfort and attract dirt. It also helps to prevent bacterial growth, minimizing skin issues and enhancing coat shine.

How do I ensure the rug fits correctly?

A correct fit means the rug lies smoothly over the horse's back without pulling or gaping. The shoulder gussets should allow for free movement, and the chest fastenings should be secure but not too tight. The rug should not extend past the dock of the tail. Always refer to sizing guides if unsure.

Troubleshooting

Rug appears to be bunching or slipping.

Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse and that all fastenings are securely adjusted. The thermobonded fill is designed to resist movement, so significant slipping may indicate an incorrect fit.

Horse appears too warm or too cold.

The 100g fill offers moderate insulation. For colder temperatures, consider layering with a heavier rug or a stable liner. For warmer stable conditions, a lighter weight rug may be more appropriate.

Hair rubs or marks are appearing on the horse's coat.

Check the fit of the rug, paying attention to the padded wither and shoulder gussets to ensure they are not causing pressure. Ensure the lining is clean and free from debris. Ensure all fastenings are secure but not overly tight.

Outer fabric seems less water-repellent over time.

While the outer repels moisture, it is not a waterproof turnout rug. For persistent dampness, ensure the rug is thoroughly cleaned and dried according to care instructions. Re-proofing may be considered if the repellency significantly diminishes, though this is not standard for stable rugs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Highly durable 1000 denier rip-stop outer for longevity.
  • Stain and moisture-repellent fabric keeps the horse clean and dry.
  • Even warmth distribution due to thermobonded fill.
  • Designed for comfort with a padded wither and seam-free spine.
  • Promotes coat health with antibacterial and antistatic lining.

Cons

  • Primarily designed for stable use, not extended turnout in wet weather.
  • The 100g fill may be insufficient for extremely cold conditions without additional layering.
  • Rip-stop outer, while durable, can still be compromised by sharp objects.
  • Requires specific care for machine washing to maintain material integrity.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup: The LeMieux Kudos 100g Stable Rug is designed for straightforward use. Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse to prevent rubbing or discomfort. Position the rug evenly over the horse's back, securing the chest fastenings first, followed by any surcingles or leg straps if applicable.

Compatibility: This stable rug is compatible with most standard horse sizes and breeds. It is designed to work well with other LeMieux accessories. While it features a durable outer, it is intended for stable use and is not waterproof for turnout in wet conditions.

Care: To maintain the rug's performance and longevity:

  1. Cleaning: Machine washable at 30 degrees Celsius.
  2. Detergent: Use a non-biological, non-detergent-based rug wash. Avoid fabric softeners.
  3. Drying: Air dry naturally. Do not tumble dry. Ensure the rug is completely dry before storage or re-use.
  4. Fastenings: Close all fastenings before washing to prevent damage.
  5. Maintenance: Regularly check for any damage and repair promptly.
