Mackey Wicklow 200g Turnout Rug with Detachable Neck
Description
Mackey Wicklow 200g Turnout Rug with Detachable Neck Cover
The Mackey Wicklow Turnout is a medium-weight horse turnout rug with a 1680 denier outer and 200g polyfil fill, fitted with a detachable neck piece. It is best for horses and ponies living out or turned out daily through cooler weather, where one adaptable rug needs to cover changeable conditions.
The rouched hood shapes closely around the head and neck, generous shoulder gussets allow free movement for grazing and rolling, and detachable leg straps keep the rug sitting where it should. An adjustable double clip chest closure makes it easy to fine-tune the front fit for different builds.

How to Use
- 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 matching rug size.
- Decide whether to attach the neck piece based on conditions, then fit it before putting the rug on.
- Fold the rug, place it over the withers and unfold it back along the body so the hair lies flat.
- Fasten the double clip chest closure first, then the belly surcingles, then the leg straps.
- Adjust each strap so a flat hand fits comfortably underneath, and check the rug clears the withers.
- Check the fit daily, look for rubbing at the shoulders and chest, and brush off dried mud before washing.

FAQ
How warm is a 200g turnout rug?
200g polyfil is classed as a medium-weight fill. It suits cooler days and nights in the field, and with the neck cover attached it gives more coverage than a lightweight rug.
Can the neck cover be removed?
Yes. The neck piece is detachable, so the Wicklow can be worn as a standard turnout or with the rouched hood attached when you want extra coverage.
What size turnout rug does my horse need?
Measure from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the point of the buttock, in feet and inches. Cut varies between brands, so measure rather than assuming your usual size. Broad-shouldered horses and cobs are often better in the larger of two sizes.
Will it stay in place during turnout?
Detachable leg straps, adjustable belly surcingles and the double clip chest closure work together to hold the rug in position. Adjust straps so a flat hand fits underneath - too loose allows slipping, too tight can rub.
How do I wash and care for it?
Brush off dried mud, close all clips and fastenings, and follow the care label. Avoid fabric softener and high heat, and store the rug clean and fully dry.
Is the rug suitable for ponies as well as horses?
Yes, provided you choose a size that matches your pony's body measurement. The adjustable chest closure and detachable leg straps help tailor the fit across different builds.
