Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this rug be used outdoors?

No, the Rastrick V2 is a stable rug and is not waterproof. It should only be used indoors.

What is the benefit of the PVC-coated fillet strap?

The PVC coating makes the strap durable, rub-resistant, and easy to wipe clean after exposure to stable bedding.

How do I ensure the correct fit?

Ensure the rug lies flat across the back, with the wither pad sitting squarely. Adjust the chest clips so the rug does not gap or pinch.

Does this rug come with a matching neck cover?

This is a standard neck design and does not feature a detachable neck hood.

How should I clean the faux-fur wither pad?

Use a soft brush to remove dust and debris. If necessary, wipe gently with a damp, clean cloth and allow to air dry completely.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Check the tension on the crossed belly surcingles and ensure the chest T-clips are symmetrically adjusted.

Rubbing at the chest or shoulder

Ensure the faux-fur wither pad is positioned correctly and check that the T-clips are not pulled too tightly, which can draw the fabric forward.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Superior heat retention due to double horizontal quilting
  • Faux-fur padding prevents wither sores and rubbing
  • Wipe-clean PVC-coated fillet strap for easy maintenance
  • Secure fit with crossed belly surcingles
  • Updated ergonomic fit for 2024

Cons

  • Not suitable for outdoor turnout use
  • Fixed standard neck design may not suit all horses
  • Requires careful storage when not in season to maintain faux-fur quality

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, ensure the chest T-clips are adjusted so the rug sits comfortably across the shoulder without restricting movement. Fasten the crossed belly surcingles with enough tension to keep the rug in place, but ensure there is room for a flat hand to fit between the strap and the horse's belly. For care, the wipe-clean PVC-coated fillet strap can be cleaned with a damp cloth after each use to prevent dirt buildup. The rug should be brushed regularly to remove stable dust and kept in a dry, ventilated area when not in use. Avoid using harsh chemical detergents when washing to preserve the integrity of the fill and the soft faux-fur wither lining.
