LeMieux Sensitive Faux Fur Lined Rug Chest Extender
Description
LeMieux Sensitive Chest Extender for Broader-Chested Horses
The LeMieux Sensitive Chest Extender is a fleece-lined panel that adds width across the chest of a horse rug, fitting between the existing front fastenings. It is designed for broader-chested horses, and for any horse whose condition changes with weight or workload, where the rug fits everywhere else but pulls tight at the front.
With an extra thick deep pile anti-static faux fur lining, it is best for sensitive-skinned equines who rub or react at the chest. The hard-wearing outer fabric matches in with stable and turnout rugs, and it is compatible with all T-bar front fastening LeMieux rugs.

- Undo the existing chest fastenings and lay the rug flat over the horse.
- Attach the extender between the two front edges of the rug so the faux fur sits against the horse.
- Press the hook and loop panel down firmly so the extender sits level on both sides.
- Refasten and check you can slide a flat hand comfortably under the chest area.
- Brush off loose hair and dried mud after use and follow the care instructions supplied.

FAQ
What does a chest extender do?
It adds width across the chest of a rug so a broader-chested horse, or one that has gained condition, can wear the same rug comfortably instead of it pulling tight at the front fastenings.
Will it fit my rug?
It is compatible with all T-bar front fastening LeMieux rugs. Check the front fastening style on your rug before ordering, as it is designed for that system.
Does it make the rug longer?
No. It widens the chest only. If your rug is short over the body or quarters, a larger rug size is the correct solution rather than an extender.
Is it suitable for a horse with sensitive skin?
Yes. The extra thick deep pile anti-static faux fur lining is intended for sensitive-skinned equines and sits softly against the chest.
Can it be used on turnout rugs as well as stable rugs?
Yes. The hard-wearing outer fabric is a suitable match for both stable and turnout rugs.
How do I keep it clean?
Allow mud to dry, brush out the faux fur and loose hair, and follow the care instructions supplied with the product.
