Full details

The Shires Tempest Original 300 Heavy Weight Combo Neck Stable Rug is designed for horse owners seeking reliable warmth and protection for their horses during cold winter nights in the stable. This rugged, high-insulation rug features a 300g quilted polyfill and a durable 210 denier outer shell, ensuring the horse stays comfortable in freezing conditions. While it offers excellent thermal retention, it is strictly intended for indoor stable use and is not waterproof, meaning it should not be used for turnout in wet weather.

FAQs

Can I use this rug for turnout?

No, this is a stable rug and is not waterproof; it is designed strictly for indoor use.

How do I determine the correct size?

Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail to find the corresponding size in feet and inches.

Is the neck cover detachable?

No, the Tempest Original 300 Stable Combo features a permanently integrated neck cover.

Can I put this rug in a tumble dryer?

It is highly recommended to air dry the rug to maintain the integrity of the fabric and the 300g insulation.

How often should I wash the rug?

Wash as needed, generally at the end of the season or if heavily soiled, to maintain fabric breathability.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Check that the cross surcingles are adjusted to the correct length and ensure the chest buckles are securely fastened.

Horse appears sweaty

The rug may be too heavy for the current weather conditions; consider switching to a lower fill weight if temperatures are mild.

Difficulty cleaning heavy stains

Pre-treat stubborn dirt with a soft brush before putting the rug in the washing machine.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior warmth with 300g insulation
  • Integrated neck cover prevents drafts
  • Breathable fabric avoids moisture buildup
  • Machine washable for easy maintenance
  • Adjustable straps allow for a customized fit

Cons

  • Not waterproof; suitable for stable use only
  • May be too warm for mild autumn or spring weather

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the rug, place the combo neck over the head first, then fasten the chest buckles to the desired tension. Ensure the cross surcingles are adjusted so that they are snug but not tight against the belly, and attach the fillet string under the tail to keep the back secure. Compatibility-wise, this rug is designed to fit standard equine builds; ensure you measure from the chest to the hindquarters to select the correct size from the range. For care, this rug is machine washable. Use a gentle cycle with a mild detergent recommended for horse rugs. Allow it to air dry thoroughly before storage to prevent mold or fabric degradation.
