FAQs
What is the main purpose of this net cooler rug?
The main purpose is to help cool down a horse after exercise by allowing for airflow and moisture evaporation, while also providing some protection from insects.
Can this rug be used for turnout?
This rug is primarily designed for post-exercise cooling and is not intended for all-day turnout or protection against rain or cold weather.
How do I determine the correct size?
Ensure the rug fits from the front of the horse's chest to the rear of the hindquarters. Consult sizing charts if available or try it on your horse to check for proper coverage and fit.
What material is the rug made from?
The rug is made from a net mesh material, which is lightweight and highly breathable.
How should I clean the net cooler rug?
It can be hand washed or machine washed on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Always air dry it afterwards.
Does the rug have a hood?
No, this is a Standard Neck design and does not include a hood.
What are the 'surcingles'?
Surcingles are straps that go around the horse's barrel, helping to keep the rug securely in place.
Troubleshooting
Rug slips to one side
Ensure the front buckle is snug and the surcingles are correctly fastened and adjusted. Check that the rug size is appropriate for the horse.
Horse appears too warm
Remove the rug if the ambient temperature is too high or if the horse is no longer sweating. This rug is best for cooling down, not for keeping warm.
Surcingles seem too loose
Adjust the surcingles to be snug enough to keep the rug in place without restricting movement or causing discomfort.
