How to Use
- Measure your horse from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock, and choose the closest size.
- Fold the rug, place it over the withers and unfold it back along the body so the coat lies flat.
- Fasten the chest closures first so the rug sits level at the shoulder.
- Cross the removable surcingles under the belly and clip them so a hand's width fits between strap and horse, or remove them for show use.
- Leave the rug on until the coat is dry, then remove it and hang it to air.
- Shake off loose hair and wash as directed on the care label.
FAQ
What is a fleece rug used for?
A fleece rug is used as a cooler to wick moisture away from a damp coat after schooling, hacking or washing off, and as a light layer for travelling and standing at shows.
What is the Waldhausen Modern Rose Fleece Rug made from?
The outer material is 100% polyester anti-pilling fleece and the synthetic fur collar is also 100% polyester.
Can the crossover straps be removed?
Yes. The crossover surcingles are removable, so the rug can be worn with straps for stable and travel use or without them for a cleaner show appearance.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock. If you are between two sizes, or your horse is a broad cob type, take the larger size to avoid shoulder rubbing.
Is this rug suitable for turnout?
No. It is a fleece cooler for stable, travel and show use, not a waterproof turnout rug.
How should the fleece be washed?
Brush off loose hair, wash following the care label and dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid fabric conditioner, as it can reduce the fleece's ability to wick moisture.
