How to Use

  1. Place the rug evenly over the back of the foal or pony, with the front edge sitting at the chest.
  2. Fasten the chest closure and adjust to give a comfortable fit, allowing a hand's width at the chest.
  3. If supplied with surcingles, cross them under the belly so they do not pull tight against the spine.
  4. Check the back length sits at the top of the tail and the rug does not pull at the shoulders.
  5. Use as a stable, travel or show rug, or layer under a turnout in colder months for added warmth.
  6. Remove regularly to brush off the coat and check the skin underneath.
