Waldhausen Turnout Rug For Foals - Thermal Padded Field Rug in 83cm
The Waldhausen Turnout Rug For Foals is a foal-sized turnout rug with 100g/m thermal padding and a sweat-absorbing lining, supplied in an 83cm length. It is made for breeders and owners who need warmth and secure fit for young stock turned out in cooler weather, with adjustable front fasteners, a belly flap and leg straps to keep the rug in place.

How to Use
- Measure your foal from the centre of the chest, along the body, to the point of the rump and compare with the 83cm length.
- Fold the rug and lay it gently over the withers, then unfold back towards the tail rather than dragging it over the quarters.
- Fasten the adjustable front closures first, allowing a hand's width of room at the chest.
- Secure the belly flap, then link the leg straps through each other and clip them so they hang loosely clear of the hocks.
- Check the fit daily, look for rubbing at the shoulder and withers, and readjust as the foal grows.

FAQ
What size is this foal rug?
It is supplied in 83cm, measured as a standard rug length from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the rump.
How warm is 100g padding?
100g/m is a light to medium fill. It suits cool rather than deep winter conditions and is a common weight for early autumn, spring and milder turnout.
Will the rug stay on a lively foal?
The adjustable front fasteners, belly flap and leg straps work together to limit slipping. Fit the leg straps so they cross and hang clear of the hocks, and recheck the adjustment regularly.
What is the rug made from?
The outer, lining and filling are all 100% polyester. The lining is designed to absorb sweat and help keep the coat comfortable.
How do I clean it?
Brush off dry mud first, then follow the sewn-in care label. Allow the rug to dry fully before storing and inspect straps and stitching before the next use.
Can I use it on a very small pony?
It is cut for foals, so the shape suits young stock. If a small pony matches the 83cm measurement and the neck and shoulder shape allows free movement, it can work, but check the fit carefully.
