Mackey Wicklow 100g Turnout Rug with Detachable Neck

Mackey Wicklow Turnout Rug 100g — Medium-Weight Field Rug with Detachable Neck

The Mackey Wicklow Turnout 100g is a medium-weight horse turnout rug with a 1680 denier outer, 100g polyfil fill and a detachable neck piece. It is best for horses and ponies turned out daily through autumn, cooler spring days and milder winter spells, where a heavyweight rug would be too warm but an unlined sheet is not enough.

Because the neck piece detaches, the same rug works as a combo or a standard-neck turnout, which makes it a sensible choice for owners who want one rug to cover changeable conditions. Generous shoulder gussets and an adjustable double clip chest closure keep the fit comfortable for grazing and moving about the field.

Key Features

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 buttock, and choose the nearest size up if between sizes.
2. Fold the rug back to front, lay it over the withers and slide it back into place along the lie of the coat.
3. Fasten the adjustable double clip chest closure first, setting it so you can fit a flat hand at the chest.
4. Fasten the belly surcingles next, leaving roughly a hand's width of clearance beneath the belly.
5. Attach the detachable leg straps, looping one through the other in a figure of eight so they sit clear of the hocks.
6. Fit or remove the detachable neck piece to suit the weather, then check fit at the shoulder and withers daily while the horse is turned out.

FAQ

What temperature is a 100g turnout rug suitable for?
A 100g fill is a medium-weight rug, generally suited to cooler autumn and spring conditions and milder winter days. Clipping, coat thickness, age, breed and shelter all affect what an individual horse needs, so check your horse's temperature at the shoulder rather than going by the fill weight alone.

Can the neck piece be removed?
Yes. The neck piece is detachable, so the Wicklow can be used as a combo turnout with neck cover or as a standard-neck rug when conditions are milder.

What does 1680 denier mean?
Denier describes the thickness of the yarn used in the outer fabric. A 1680 denier outer is a heavier, hardwearing fabric weight commonly used on turnout rugs intended for daily field use.

How do I measure my horse for the correct rug size?
Measure in a straight line from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock. Rug sizes are given in feet and inches. Do not rely on the size of an old rug, as cut differs between makes.

My horse has broad shoulders — will this rug rub?
The Wicklow has generous shoulder gussets to allow movement at the shoulder. Horses with broad shoulders or a deep barrel are usually more comfortable in the larger of two sizes, and a shoulder guard can be used under the rug if your horse is prone to rubs.

How should I care for the rug?
Allow mud to dry and brush it off, fasten all clips and straps before washing, and follow the care label. Remove the leg straps for washing and check stitching, straps and clips regularly for wear.
