Specifications

How to Use

1. Place the rug evenly over the back of the horse or pony, with the front edge sitting at the chest.
2. Fasten the single chest strap and adjust to give a comfortable fit, allowing a hand's width at the chest.
3. Cross the surcingles under the belly and clip into the opposite side, leaving a hand's width of space.
4. Attach the fillet string under the tail to help the back of the rug stay settled.
5. Check the rug stops at the top of the tail and does not pull at the shoulders.
6. Remove regularly to brush off the coat and inspect the skin underneath.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What is a warm-weight fleece rug used for?
A: A warm-weight fleece gives a heavier layer of warmth than a standard fleece. It suits cooler stable and travel conditions and works as a useful layering rug under or over a turnout.

Q: What size does this rug fit?
A: Sized for horses and ponies. Measure from the centre of the chest along the side of the body to the point of the buttock and choose the closest size.

Q: Can I use it as a turnout rug?
A: This is a fleece rug, designed for the stable, lorry and showground rather than for outdoor turnout in wet weather.

Q: Will the fleece pill or snag?
A: The non-snag, anti-pill fabric is designed to resist pilling and keep its smart appearance with normal use.

Q: Can I layer it with a turnout in winter?
A: Yes. The fleece can be used under or over a turnout to add extra warmth without significant bulk.

Q: How do I wash it?
A: Brush off loose hair and dirt, then machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle. Air dry away from direct heat to protect the fleece and the rope binding.
