LeMieux Kudos 100g Stable Rug - Blue

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

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
