Mackey Lugnaquilla Replacement Rug Leg Straps (Pair)
Description
Mackey Lugnaquilla Leg Straps - Replacement Rug Straps, Sold In Pairs
The Mackey Lugnaquilla Leg Straps are replacement leg straps for Mackey horse rugs, supplied as a matched pair. They are best for owners whose turnout or stable rug is still in good condition but whose original leg straps have frayed, stretched, lost a clip or gone missing in the field.
Leg straps cross between the hind legs and clip back to the rear of the rug, helping to hold it in place and limit sideways slipping or twisting when a horse rolls. Buying spares is a far cheaper fix than replacing a whole rug, and a spare pair in the tack room keeps a horse rugged through the winter without interruption.

How To Use
- Remove the old or damaged straps from the rear of the rug.
- Clip the first strap to the D-ring on one side of the rug.
- Pass the second strap through the loop of the first between the hind legs so the two cross over.
- Clip each strap back to the D-ring on its own side of the rug.
- Adjust the length so roughly a hand's width fits between the strap and the horse's leg.
- Re-check the fit after a few hours of wear and again after the first turnout.

FAQ
Are these leg straps sold singly or as a pair?
They are sold in pairs, so you receive two straps and can replace both sides of the rug at once.
Will they fit rugs from other brands?
They are designed as replacement straps for Mackey rugs. Many rugs use a similar clip-to-D-ring arrangement, so check that your rug has rear D-rings before ordering.
Should leg straps be crossed or run straight?
Crossing them between the hind legs is the usual method. Crossed straps sit more centrally, are less likely to rub the inside of the legs and help hold the rug steady.
How tight should leg straps be?
Allow about a hand's width of clearance between the strap and the leg. Too loose and the horse can catch a hind leg; too tight and the strap may rub.
When should leg straps be replaced?
Replace them as soon as the webbing is frayed or stretched, or if a clip is bent, stiff or no longer closing securely.
How do I care for them?
Rinse off mud, allow them to dry naturally away from direct heat and check the clips move freely before refitting.
