Troubleshooting
Rug is causing rubbing or sores
Ensure the rug is the correct size and fitted properly. Check for any internal seams or tags that might be causing irritation. Consider a rug liner if the issue persists.
Horse appears too hot or too cold
Evaluate the current weather conditions. The 100g fill is for light to medium warmth. For colder weather, consider a rug with higher fill. For warmer weather, a lighter or no-fill rug may be more appropriate.
Waterproofing seems compromised
The rug may need re-waterproofing. Follow the care instructions for cleaning, ensuring it is completely dry, then apply a suitable waterproofing treatment.
Straps are difficult to adjust
Ensure all buckles and fastenings are clean and free from debris. If straps are stiff, a leather conditioner may help soften them.
