Product Information

Full details

The Mackey Wicklow Detach-a-neck Turnout Heavy is an ideal solution for horse owners seeking high-performance protection during harsh winter months. Designed for horses that spend significant time outdoors in cold and wet conditions, this rug utilizes a 360g polyfil and a durable 1680 Denier outer shell to ensure your horse remains warm and dry. While the heavy-duty construction provides superior insulation, owners should monitor horses closely during milder temperature fluctuations to prevent overheating.

FAQs

Is this rug waterproof?

Yes, the 1680 Denier polyester outer shell is designed to be highly waterproof to keep your horse dry in heavy rain.

Can I use this rug in the spring?

This is a heavy-weight rug with 360g fill, so it is primarily intended for cold winter weather and may be too warm for mild spring temperatures.

How do I attach the neck cover?

The neck cover attaches to the main body of the rug using the provided clips or fastenings at the withers. Ensure these are securely clicked in place.

Does this rug come in different weights?

The Mackey Wicklow range offers various options, but this specific model is a heavy-weight version.

Can I machine wash this rug?

It is generally recommended to hose down or hand wash the rug to protect the waterproof technical coatings on the polyester fabric.

Troubleshooting

Rug slipping to one side

Check that the chest closures are tightened correctly and that the leg straps are adjusted to the proper length to maintain center-alignment.

Neck piece drooping or sagging

Ensure the rouched elastic on the neck hood is adjusted correctly and all attachment points to the main rug are securely fastened.

Water leaking through the outer shell

Inspect the fabric for tears or abrasion and re-proof the outer material using a reputable waterproof spray if the original coating has worn down.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-denier outer shell is extremely durable against rips and tears
  • Excellent heat retention for cold winter conditions
  • Versatile design with a detachable neck piece
  • Shoulder gussets allow for unrestricted movement
  • Adjustable straps ensure a tailored fit for different builds

Cons

  • Not suitable for mild or warm weather due to heavy insulation
  • The 1680 Denier material is heavier to handle during application
  • Requires proper care to maintain waterproof integrity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best fit, start by ensuring the horse is standing square. Secure the chest clips first, adjusting the straps so the rug sits comfortably at the base of the neck without sagging. Attach the leg straps, passing the left strap through the left hind leg and hooking it to the left side ring, then repeat for the right side; crossing the leg straps helps keep the rug centered. For care, avoid using harsh detergents that can strip the waterproof coating. If the rug becomes heavily soiled, gently hose it down with cold water and use a soft brush. Allow the rug to air dry completely in a shaded area away from direct heat sources before storage.
