Description
Mackey Wicklow 360g Heavyweight Turnout Rug
The Mackey Wicklow Turnout is a heavyweight winter turnout rug with a 1680 denier outer and 360 gram polyfil filling. It is best for horses and ponies living out or spending long days in the field through winter, particularly clipped, older or fine-coated horses that need substantial warmth.
A detachable neck piece with a rouched hood means one rug covers two jobs: standard turnout in milder spells and full neck coverage when conditions turn. Generous shoulder gussets and an adjustable double clip chest closure keep the fit comfortable for horses that move around and roll. Browse more options in our horse rugs collection.

How to Use
- Measure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock to find the correct size in feet and inches.
- Fold the rug and place it over the withers, then unfold it back along the body so the coat lies flat.
- Fasten the adjustable double clip chest closure first, allowing a hand's width of room.
- Fasten the belly surcingles, then cross and clip the detachable leg straps through each other.
- Attach the neck piece if extra coverage is needed, checking the rouched hood sits smoothly behind the ears.
- Check the fit daily and look for rubbing at the shoulders, withers and chest.
FAQ
Is a 360g turnout rug too warm for a UK winter?
A 360 gram fill is a heavyweight rug intended for cold winter weather. It suits clipped, older or fine-coated horses living out. In milder spells a lighter rug is usually more appropriate.
Can the neck piece be removed?
Yes. The neck piece is fully detachable, so the rug can be worn as a standard turnout or with full neck coverage.
How do I measure my horse for this rug?
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.
What if my horse is between sizes?
Broad cob types usually fit better in the larger size, which gives more room across the shoulder. Finer types are often better in the closer size to prevent slipping.
What does 1680 denier mean?
Denier describes the thickness of the yarn in the outer fabric. A 1680 denier outer is a robust choice for everyday field turnout.
How should the rug be cleaned?
Allow mud to dry and brush it off, check straps and stitching regularly, and reproof as required. A specialist rug wash service is preferable to a domestic washing machine.
