Premier Equine Akoni 100g Turnout Rug with Neck Cover

Premier Equine Akoni 100g Turnout Rug with Classic Neck Cover

The Premier Equine Akoni 100g Turnout Rug is a lightweight waterproof turnout rug with a detachable Classic neck cover, built from 600 denier diamond triple weave polyester with a Teflon-coated outer and a waterproof protective membrane. It is best for horses and ponies turned out in cooler, changeable weather that need breathable warmth and full neck coverage without the bulk of a heavyweight rug.

With 100g of fill, liner attachments and a self-righting cut, the Akoni works as a year-round transitional rug — used alone in autumn and spring, or layered with a liner when temperatures drop.

Specifications

How to Use

1. Measure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the rear-most point of the hindquarters and select the nearest size.
2. Attach the Classic neck cover to the rug before fitting if you are using it.
3. Place the rug over the withers and slide it back into position along the lie of the coat.
4. Fasten the chest clips first, then the crossing surcingles, allowing roughly a hand's width of clearance under the belly.
5. Clip on the PVC-coated tail strap, and fit the adjustable leg straps only if you prefer them — the self-righting design does not require them.
6. Check the shoulder gusset and neck cover sit clear of the point of shoulder, then remove daily to inspect for rubs and re-check the fit.

FAQ

Is the Akoni turnout rug waterproof?
Yes. The Akoni has a Teflon-coated 600 denier outer and a waterproof protective membrane to help keep your horse dry in wet, changeable weather.

How warm is a 100g turnout rug?
100g is a lightweight fill, best for cool, changeable conditions rather than deep winter. The Akoni has liner attachments so you can add a liner for extra warmth when temperatures drop.

Does the neck cover come with the rug?
Yes. A detachable Classic neck cover is included and can be removed on milder days.

What size turnout rug does my horse need?
Measure from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the rear-most point of the hindquarters, then choose the nearest size. If your horse is between sizes or broad through the shoulder, the larger size is usually the better fit.

Do I need to use the leg straps?
Adjustable leg straps are supplied, but the rug is self-righting so leg straps are not required. Many riders use the clip-on tail strap alone.

Will it rub my horse's shoulders?
The rug is cut 2-4 inches in front of the wither so the neckline sits ahead of the shoulder, and an extra-high patented elasticated shoulder gusset allows movement. Check fit daily and use a shoulder guard if your horse is prone to rubs.
