LeMieux Kudos 50g Lightweight Stable Rug for Horses

LeMieux Kudos Stable Rug 50g — Lightweight Comfort For The Stabled Horse

The LeMieux Kudos Stable Rug 50g is a lightweight stable rug with a 1000 Denier rip-stop outer, a 50g thermobonded polyester fill and an antibacterial, anti-static microfibre lining. It is best for horses and ponies kept stabled who need a warm, comfortable indoor layer rather than a waterproof turnout rug.

Part of the Kudos Collection, it pairs the signature smart LeMieux look with technical fabrics that repel stains and moisture in the stable, keep the fill in place when your horse lies down, and allow full freedom of movement through a design-registered angled front closure.

How To Use

1. Measure your horse in feet and inches from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the rump, and choose the matching rug size.
2. Fold the rug in half and place it over the withers, then unfold it back along the spine so the seamfree spine sits centrally.
3. Fasten the angled front closure first so the chest sits flat and the shoulder gusset is free to move.
4. Fasten the belly surcingles next, allowing roughly a hand's width of clearance, then attach the PVC-coated fillet strap.
5. Check the fit at the wither and shoulder, and adjust or refit daily so the rug does not slip back.
6. Brush off loose hair and dried mud after use and wipe the fillet strap clean before storing.

FAQ

Is the Kudos Stable Rug waterproof for turnout?
No. This is a stable rug designed for indoor use. The 1000 Denier rip-stop outer repels stains and moisture in the stable, but it is not intended as a waterproof turnout rug.

How warm is a 50g fill?
A 50g thermobonded polyester fill is a lightweight weight. It suits milder stable conditions, clipped horses in a well-rugged yard, or use as a base layer under a heavier rug when temperatures drop.

What size stable rug do I need?
Measure from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the point of the rump in feet and inches. Measure the horse itself rather than an existing rug, because cut varies between brands.

My horse is broad through the shoulder — which size should I choose?
Cobs, natives and heavier warmbloods that fall between two sizes are usually more comfortable in the larger size, which gives more room at the chest and shoulder. The angled front closure and shoulder gusset also help freedom of movement.

Will the filling move if my horse lies down?
No. The polyester fill is thermobonded, which holds it in place so it will not slip or bunch when your horse moves around the box or lies down.

How do I clean and care for it?
Brush off loose hair and dried mud, wipe the PVC-coated fillet strap clean and check all straps and fixings regularly for wear before storing the rug dry.
