No, this is a mesh fly rug designed for breathability and insect protection, not for rainy weather.
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail. For this model, 84 inches equals a 7'0" rug.
Yes, this rug is specifically designed for turnout use in the field during warmer seasons.
If the rug becomes heavily clogged with mud or grass, wash it to ensure the mesh continues to allow proper airflow.
The mesh is soft and designed to minimize friction; however, always monitor your horse for any signs of rubbing.
Check that the chest buckles are securely fastened and that the fillet strap is adjusted correctly to keep the rug positioned firmly over the hindquarters.
Ensure the attachment points at the neck cover are properly aligned and pulled snug against the neck collar attachment.
To set up the rug, place it gently over the horse's back, then secure the chest buckles followed by the belly flap fasteners. The neck cover can be attached via the designated straps provided at the wither area. For care, it is recommended to hose the rug down or machine wash on a cool cycle using mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or high-heat drying, as these can compromise the UV-protective coating and weaken the mesh fibers. Store the rug in a dry, ventilated place during the off-season to prevent mold growth.
