Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the rug, first place it gently over the horse's back, ensuring the combo neck is properly aligned. Fasten the front twin buckles first, adjusting them so they are snug but not tight enough to restrict breathing. Next, fasten the low cross surcingles, leaving enough space for a hand-width between the strap and the horse's belly. Finally, attach the leg straps in a loop configuration. For care, gently hose off mud when the rug is dry, or use a soft brush. For deep cleaning, use a specialized turnout rug wash and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using detergents or water softeners as they can strip the waterproof Repel Shell coating.
