The Lemieux Kudos Field Rug in White is designed for horse owners seeking durable and comfortable protection for their horses in the field or stable. Its key benefit lies in its innovative design promoting unrestricted movement and minimizing friction. A potential caveat is its specific material, requiring appropriate care to maintain its anti-static and anti-bacterial properties. This rug features a lightweight, removable neck, ripstop polyester, and a patented two-part skirt for exceptional freedom.

The patented two-part skirt allows for significantly unrestricted movement, enabling the horse to graze, roll, and play freely without the rug hindering their natural actions.
The neck cover typically attaches via secure fastenings, such as Velcro or clips, around the wither area. Refer to the specific fastening points on your rug when attaching or removing it.
The rug is made of durable ripstop polyester, which offers protection. However, it is not a waterproof turnout rug and is best suited for field or stable use where full waterproofing is not the primary requirement.
This lining minimizes friction between the rug and the horse's coat, reducing static electricity buildup and preventing germ proliferation, which helps maintain a healthy, smooth coat and reduces the risk of skin irritation.
It is crucial to use a specialized rug wash and avoid fabric softeners or harsh detergents. These can compromise the rug's anti-static and anti-bacterial properties, as well as damage the fabric's performance.
It's advisable to check the rug's fit every time you put it on your horse, especially if they are turned out for extended periods. Ensure all straps are secure and that the rug hasn't shifted or caused any discomfort.
Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Adjust chest straps, surcingles, and leg straps for a snug but not tight fit. Check that the angled shoulder gusset is lying flat and not restricting movement.
Re-evaluate the fit, ensuring all straps are adjusted properly and the patented two-part skirt is allowing full freedom. The removable neck may need to be detached if the horse is too warm.
Confirm the antibacterial and anti-static lining is clean and free from debris. Ensure the rug is not too tight and that the angled shoulder gussets are correctly positioned.
Inspect the ripstop polyester for tears. Small tears can sometimes be repaired with specialized rug repair kits. Follow care instructions to prolong material life.
Setup: The rug comes with a lightweight, removable neck cover. Attach the neck cover securely to the rug before placing it on the horse, ensuring all fastenings are properly aligned and closed. Adjust the chest straps, surcingles, and leg straps for a comfortable, secure fit. The rug should sit smoothly without pulling or sagging.
Compatibility: This rug is designed for horses and should be sized appropriately. Ensure it fits the horse's build and length. It is intended for use in fields and stables.
Care: To maintain the rug's performance, it is recommended to wash it according to the manufacturer's instructions, typically on a cool or delicate cycle with a specialized rug wash. Avoid fabric softeners and harsh detergents, as these can damage the anti-static and anti-bacterial properties. Air dry the rug away from direct heat sources. Regularly check for dirt or debris that could damage the fabric or irritate the horse.
