Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Dottie Foal Torrent Rug waterproof?
Yes - the outer is made from certified waterproof 600 denier ripstop material with taped seams and waxed stitching. However, as Rhinegold note, this is a lightweight rug with no polyfill, so in very heavy rain some water may run down the horse's neck and penetrate slightly under the rug, and strong winds can gust up underneath. The material itself is waterproof, but realistic expectations are advised for extreme conditions.
Is this rug suitable for foals?
Yes - this rug is specifically designed for foals, as indicated by the product name and its foal-focused sizing range. For larger horse sizes (4'6 to 7'0), Rhinegold direct customers to code 678D.
Does the Dottie Foal Torrent have any filling or insulation?
No - this rug has no polyfill. It is a lightweight turnout rug with a breathable lining, intended for use in wet weather rather than as a heavyweight winter rug.
What fastenings and fittings does this rug include?
The rug features two quick clip chest straps with trigger clips, a front shoulder gusset, cross-over surcingles, leg straps, a tailguard, strengthened surcingle guides, and no back seam. Rhinegold advise that the trigger clips on the chest front should face inwards towards the horse to prevent them getting caught.
Can this lightweight rug be layered over heavier winter rugs?
Yes - Rhinegold specifically suggest using this Torrent rug over heavier winter rugs when conditions are very wet. This creates extra insulation and helps protect the heavier rug from mud and prolonged drying time after heavy rain.
Is the outer fabric breathable as well as waterproof?
Yes - the outer is described as a waterproof breathable 600 denier ripstop, and the lining is also breathable.
