FAQs
Is this rug waterproof?
This is a stable rug, not a turnout rug. It is designed for use inside a stable and is not intended for heavy outdoor rain or prolonged weather exposure.
Can this rug be machine washed?
While some industrial machines can accommodate rugs, it is best to check the manufacturer's care tag; generally, gentle hand washing or professional rug cleaning is recommended to extend the life of the fabric.
What is the weight of this rug?
This rug features 200g of polyfill insulation, making it a medium-weight rug suitable for cooler temperatures.
Are leg straps included?
This specific model features a tail cord to help secure the back of the rug.
Will this rub the horse's mane?
The rug is designed with a standard neck and smooth Taffeta lining to minimize friction, though fit is key to preventing any movement that might cause rubbing.
Can I use this for a horse that spends time in an outdoor paddock?
No, this is specifically a stable rug. For outdoor use, please choose a dedicated Saxon turnout rug with a waterproof outer shell.
Troubleshooting
Rug slips to one side
Check that the surcingles are adjusted to the correct length and that the chest straps are tightened evenly.
Visible hair rubbing on the shoulders
Ensure the rug size is correct; if the fit is too tight at the chest, the friction will increase. Consider using a thin shoulder guard.
Rug feels cold against the horse
Ensure the horse is dry before rugging, as moisture trapped underneath can prevent the polyfill from retaining heat effectively.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the longevity of your Saxon rug, proper fitting is essential. Start by gently placing the rug over the horse's back and fastening the chest buckles before securing the surcingles. Ensure the rug is level across the spine. For cleaning, it is recommended to brush off excess dust and mud daily to maintain the integrity of the fabric. If the rug becomes soiled, hand wash in cool water using mild, equine-safe detergent and allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Avoid using industrial dryers, as high heat can damage the waterproof coating or compromise the structural fibers of the 1200D shell.
