This transitional rug is for horse owners seeking versatile protection during changing seasons. Its key benefit is managing temperature shifts with UPF50+ sun protection and insect defense. A caveat is its suitability for moderate temperature changes rather than extreme cold. It features a dual-material construction for optimal comfort and protection, ideal for spring and autumn days.

Its primary purpose is to manage transitional weather by providing UPF50+ sun protection, protection from flies and insects, and a light layer of warmth across critical muscle areas.
The upper material offers UPF50+ protection, blocking 98% of the sun's harmful ultraviolet rays.
While the lower section is breathable, the upper material provides some warmth. It is best suited for cooler, sunny days or evenings rather than extreme heat.
Measure your horse accurately from the centre of the chest to the rear point of the hindquarters. Consult the LeMieux sizing guide. Ensure the front fastening is secure and the surcingles allow for comfortable movement.
The upper section is made of lightweight 450D ripstop polyester, and the lower section is made of breathable micro-mesh.
No, the neck cover is detachable, offering flexibility in how you use the rug based on weather conditions and your horse's needs.
It can be hand-washed or machine-washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C with a non-biological detergent. Avoid fabric softener and bleach. Air dry naturally.
Ensure the T-bar is correctly aligned with the corresponding buckle. Check for any mud or debris obstructing the fastening mechanism.
Adjust the rug by removing or attaching the neck cover. Consider the ambient temperature and the horse's coat condition. This rug is best suited for transitional weather.
Inspect the area carefully. Minor tears can sometimes be mended with appropriate fabric repair kits. For significant damage, consider a replacement.
Check that the surcingles are adjusted evenly and securely. Ensure the front fastening is snug. Correct sizing is critical for stability.
Setup: To fit the rug, lay it out flat and identify the front and back. Secure the angled T-bar front fastening first, ensuring it is snug but not tight. Then, adjust the surcingles to a comfortable fit, allowing two fingers' width between the rug and the horse's body. If using the detachable neck, attach it to the rug's D-rings or designated points as per the manufacturer's instructions.
Compatibility: This rug is designed for equines and is generally compatible with most horse breeds. Its unique construction accommodates a range of body types, focusing on shoulder freedom. Ensure correct sizing for optimal fit and comfort.
