How to Use
- Measure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock to find the correct size in feet and inches.
- Fold the rug in half and lay it gently over the withers, then unfold it back over the quarters.
- Fasten the surcingle front closure first so the rug cannot slip back.
- Fasten the low cross surcingles, leaving roughly a hand's width between the strap and the belly.
- Adjust the leg or tail strap so it sits clear of the hocks without hanging loose.
- Check the fit at the withers and shoulders, then watch your horse walk off before leaving the field.

FAQ
What temperature is a 200g mediumweight turnout rug suitable for?
A 200g mediumweight rug generally suits cool autumn and milder winter conditions, roughly around 5-10°C for an unclipped horse, though this varies with wind, rain, coat and whether the horse is clipped or stabled overnight.
Is this rug fully waterproof?
Yes, the 600D polyester outer is waterproof and breathable. Water resistance reduces over time with wear and washing, so reproof with a turnout rug proofer when water stops beading on the surface.
What size turnout rug do I need?
Measure from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the point of the buttock. If your horse is between sizes, or is a broad cob or heavier type, choose the larger size for better shoulder freedom.
Is this a standard neck or high neck rug?
This is a standard neck rug. It does not have a high neck cut or a detachable neck cover.
How do I clean and care for the rug?
Let mud dry and brush it off with a stiff brush. Avoid hot washes and tumble drying, which can damage the waterproof finish, and reproof as needed. Check straps and stitching regularly through the season.
Can it be used on ponies and cobs?
Yes, provided you select the correct size. Broader cob types often fit better in the next size up, so measure carefully before ordering.
