The Mackey Wicklow 50g Turnout Rug is an ideal choice for horse owners seeking a versatile, lightweight barrier against unpredictable weather during milder seasons. Designed with a durable 1680 Denier outer shell, this rug provides excellent protection against wind and rain while the 50g polyfill offers just enough warmth without causing overheating. While it excels in durability and fit, users should note that the lightweight insulation is strictly intended for transitional weather and will not provide sufficient warmth for deep winter temperatures.

Yes, the 1680 Denier outer shell is designed to be highly water-resistant and durable, protecting your horse from rain and wind.
This rug features a 50g fill, which is meant for mild to cool conditions. It is generally not warm enough for freezing winter temperatures without additional layering.
The neck cover attaches via a series of secure clips or straps to the D-rings found at the wither area of the rug.
It is recommended to hose off excess mud and use professional rug cleaning services or a front-load commercial washer to maintain the waterproofing, avoiding harsh detergents.
The rouched design helps the neck cover maintain a better shape and creates a more secure, contoured fit around the horse's neck to keep out drafts.
Check that the leg straps are adjusted to the correct length and that the cross-surcingles are tightened so that only a hand's width fits between the strap and the horse's belly.
Ensure the chest closure is not set too tightly. If the rug is the correct size, consider a shoulder liner to minimize friction.
Verify that the neck fastenings are attached correctly to the rug's D-rings and that the elasticized sections are snug against the base of the mane.
To achieve the best fit, start by securing the chest clips, ensuring the rug lies flat over the withers without creating pressure points. The detachable neck should be fastened securely to the D-rings provided; adjust the neck straps so they are snug but allow the horse to graze comfortably. To maintain the life of the 1680 Denier fabric, brush off dried mud with a soft-bristled brush regularly. When washing is required, use a mild, technical-fabric-safe detergent and hang to dry in a shaded, well-ventilated area to protect the integrity of the waterproofing and the polyfill insulation. Avoid using biological detergents or high-heat drying, as these can strip the outer protective coating.
