Product Information

Full details

The Premier Equine Buster Zero Turnout Rug with Classic Neck Cover is designed for horse owners seeking a durable, waterproof, and breathable rug with no fill, ideal for milder weather or for horses that tend to overheat. Its key benefit is its adaptability for various seasons with the addition of rug liners. A potential caveat is that it's a no-fill rug, so additional warmth layers will be necessary for colder temperatures. This rug features an 840D ballistic nylon outer, zero grams of fill, a detachable classic neck cover, and antibacterial/anti-static lining.

FAQs

What is the main advantage of a 0g rug?

A 0g rug provides no insulation, making it ideal for horses that tend to overheat, for use in mild or warm weather, or as a waterproof outer layer that can be customized with liners for added warmth.

Can I use this rug in the rain?

Yes, the Buster Zero Turnout Rug is designed to be waterproof and breathable, providing protection from rain while allowing moisture vapor to escape.

How do I attach a rug liner?

Rug liners attach to the inside of the Buster Zero rug via clips or loops located at the front and along the sides. Simply align the liner's attachment points with those on the rug and secure them.

How often should I wash the turnout rug?

Wash the rug as needed when it becomes dirty or loses its performance. Over-washing can sometimes affect the waterproof coating, so it's best to wash only when necessary. Ensure it's properly cleaned and dried after each wash.

What is the purpose of the self-righting design?

The self-righting design ensures that the rug settles correctly on the horse's back after movement, preventing it from slipping or bunching up and ensuring consistent coverage and comfort.

Are the leg straps essential for this rug?

No, the Buster Zero Turnout Rug features a self-righting design that typically does not require leg straps. However, a pair of detachable leg straps are included for owners who prefer or need the extra security.

What is the benefit of the antibacterial and anti-static lining?

The antibacterial lining helps to maintain a hygienic environment against the horse's skin, reducing the risk of skin irritations. The anti-static properties prevent the build-up of static electricity, which can be uncomfortable for the horse and cause the coat to stand on end.

Troubleshooting

Rug is not fully waterproof after a wash.

Ensure the rug was washed with a suitable detergent and rinsed thoroughly. Re-apply a fabric waterproofing treatment specifically designed for equestrian rugs if necessary, following the product's instructions.

Horse appears cold in mild winter conditions.

This is a 0g (no-fill) rug. Add a Premier Equine Standard Rug Liner of appropriate weight (e.g., 200g or 300g) for additional warmth.

Neck cover Velcro seems to be losing its grip.

Ensure the Velcro surfaces are clean and free of debris. You can try gently brushing the Velcro hooks and loops. If significantly worn, contact customer support for potential replacement options.

Rug slips to one side.

Check that the cross surcingles are correctly adjusted and snug enough. Ensure the chest clips are securely fastened. While the rug is self-righting, proper adjustment is key. Consider using the included leg straps if slippage persists.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Measure from the center of the chest to the rear of the hindquarters.
Place the rug over your horse, ensuring the neckline sits comfortably in front of the wither.
Secure the quick-release chest clips first. These are designed for easy and fast fastening.
Fasten the double locking Velcro straps on the detachable neck cover, if using.
Adjust the cross surcingles to ensure a snug but comfortable fit. They should not be overly tight.
Attach the PVC coated tail strap. This rug is designed to be self-righting and does not require leg straps, but a pair of detachable leg straps are included if preferred for added security.

Compatibility:

This rug is compatible with Premier Equine's Standard Rug Liners. These liners are sold separately and are available in various weights (e.g., 100g, 200g, 300g) to customize warmth.
It can be used indoors or outdoors.

Care:

Cleaning: Machine washable at 30°C (86°F). Use a gentle, non-biological detergent. Rinse thoroughly. Do not use bleach or fabric softener.
Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry or place near direct heat sources. Ensure the rug is completely dry before storing.
Storage: Store in the complimentary reusable zippered storage bag provided to keep it clean and protected when not in use.
Maintenance: Regularly check for tears or damage and repair them promptly to maintain the rug's waterproof integrity. Clean off excess mud and debris before washing.
