How to Use
- Measure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the point of the buttock and convert to feet and inches.
- Choose the matching rug size, allowing for shoulder and wither shape if your horse is between sizes.
- Groom your horse and make sure the coat is clean and dry before rugging.
- Fold the rug, place it over the withers and unfold back along the body rather than dragging it forwards.
- Fasten the chest first, then any body and leg fastenings, checking each is secure but not tight.
- Check daily for rubbing at the shoulders, chest and withers, and remove the rug regularly to inspect the coat.
FAQ
How do I measure my horse for the Finalost Rug?
Measure in a straight line from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock. Convert that figure to feet and inches to find your rug size.
Will it fit a pony or a cob?
The Finalost Rug is offered in a range of sizes, so pony, cob and horse sizes can usually be matched. Always order by your measurement rather than by breed type, as cobs often need a broader fit.
What should I do if my horse is between two sizes?
Consider the shape of the shoulder and wither. A horse with a broad chest or wide shoulders is generally more comfortable in the larger size, provided the rug does not slip back.
How do I clean and store the rug?
Brush off loose hair and dirt after use, allow the rug to air and dry completely, then fold and store it somewhere dry. Follow the washing instructions on the manufacturer's care label.
How can I stop the rug rubbing?
Check the fit at the chest and shoulders, adjust fastenings so they are secure but not tight, and remove the rug daily to check the coat. A well-fitting rug in the correct size is the best way to avoid rubs.
Is this rug suitable for everyday wear?
Yes. It is designed as a practical everyday rug for stable and yard use, with simple fastenings for quick changes.
