Hy Equestrian StormX Empra Airflex 3D Mesh Rug
Description
Hy Equestrian StormX Empra Airflex 3D Rug
The Hy Equestrian StormX Empra Airflex 3D Rug is a multi-functional mesh rug for travelling, after bathing and after exercise. It is best for riders who want one breathable rug that can cool a horse down, dry a wet coat and travel smartly to a show, rather than three separate rugs.
The rug uses the latest innovative 3D mesh with a unique honeycomb structure, combining multifilament and monofilament molecular technology to promote air-motion action for ventilation and airflow. The spacer waffle weave outer is soft to the touch, so your horse looks and feels luxurious on the lorry or in the collecting ring. Browse more options in our horse rugs collection.

How to Use
- Measure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the point of the buttock to choose the correct rug size in feet and inches.
- Fold the rug, place it over the withers and unfold it back along the body so the coat lies flat.
- Fasten the twin buckle chest fastenings, adjusting them so the front sits neatly without pulling across the shoulder.
- Cross the surcingles under the belly and fasten them, leaving roughly a hand's width of clearance.
- Pass the fillet string under the tail so the back of the rug stays in place.
- Remove the rug once the coat is dry, brush off loose hair and dirt, and store it clean and dry.
FAQ
What is the Hy Equestrian StormX Empra Airflex 3D Rug used for?
It is a multi-functional rug for travelling, for use after bathing and for cooling a horse after exercise. The 3D mesh promotes airflow, which helps a damp or warm coat settle.
How do I measure my horse for the correct size?
Measure in feet and inches from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock. Always measure your own horse rather than copying the size of another brand's rug, as cut varies.
What should I do if my horse falls between two sizes?
Most riders find the larger size more comfortable for travelling, as it allows more freedom at the shoulder. A rug that is too small can rub at the chest and shoulder.
How does the rug stay in place?
It has twin buckle chest fastenings, crossed surcingles and a fillet string, which together hold the rug securely and stop it slipping back.
Can it be used as a show rug?
Yes. The spacer waffle weave fabric is smart and soft to the touch, so the rug suits standing at shows as well as travelling and cooling off.
How should the rug be cared for?
Brush off loose hair and dirt after use, follow the instructions on the care label, and check the buckles, surcingles and fillet string regularly for wear.
