FAQs
What temperature is the 100g filling suitable for?
The 100g filling is considered light to medium weight, making it suitable for mild to cool weather conditions, generally ranging from approximately 5°C to 15°C (41°F to 59°F), depending on the horse and other environmental factors. It's often used as a transitional weather rug or a base layer.
How do I determine the correct size for my horse?
Rug sizes are typically measured from the chest to the rear of the rug. Consult the brand's sizing chart, which usually provides measurements in feet and inches. You can measure your horse from the center of the chest to the point of the hindquarters to find the closest match.
Can this rug be used in heavy rain?
Yes, turnout rugs are designed to be waterproof and breathable, offering protection from heavy rain. Ensure the rug is properly fitted and that the seams and closures are intact for optimal water resistance.
How often should I clean the turnout rug?
It's recommended to brush off loose dirt and mud regularly after turnout. A more thorough wash is typically needed a few times during the season or when the rug becomes heavily soiled, to maintain its performance and hygiene.
What is the benefit of the combo neck design?
The combo neck design provides continuous coverage from the rug to the horse's poll, offering enhanced warmth and protection against drafts, wind, and rain. It's particularly beneficial for horses that are sensitive to cold on their necks or poll area.
Can I put another rug over this one?
Yes, you can layer other rugs over this turnout rug if additional warmth is needed. Ensure the layers fit well together without bunching or causing discomfort to the horse. A liner rug or a lighter weight rug can be added underneath or over this 100g rug as needed.
Troubleshooting
Rug is slipping or shifting significantly.
Check that all straps (chest, surcingle, leg) are adjusted correctly and securely. Ensure the rug is the appropriate size for your horse. A tail strap can also help keep the rug in place.
Horse appears too warm or too cold.
Adjust clothing layers underneath based on ambient temperature. The 100g fill is for light-medium warmth; for colder weather, consider a higher fill rug or adding a fleece liner. For warmer days, ensure the rug is clean and breathable, or opt for a lighter weight option.
Waterproofing seems reduced.
The rug may require re-waterproofing treatment. Clean the rug thoroughly and apply a suitable waterproofing spray or wash as per product instructions. Ensure no residue from detergents is left, as this can affect waterproofing.
Small tears or abrasions appear.
Minor tears can often be repaired with rug repair kits. Clean the area thoroughly before applying any repair patches or stitching.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Fit the rug by adjusting the chest straps, surcingles, and leg straps to achieve a secure yet comfortable fit. The front closures should fasten snugly but not tightly. The surcingles should be done up so you can fit two fingers underneath. Leg straps should be adjusted to keep the rug in place without restricting movement.
Compatibility: This turnout rug is designed for general horse use during turnout. It is compatible with most standard tack and is suitable for horses of various breeds when the correct size is chosen. It is intended for outdoor use and pasture conditions.
Care: To maintain the rug's performance, clean it regularly. Brush off loose dirt and mud when dry. For heavier soiling, hand wash with cool water and a mild, non-detergent soap, or follow the manufacturer's specific cleaning instructions. Avoid using harsh chemicals or strong detergents. Allow the rug to air dry completely away from direct heat sources. Some rugs may be machine washable on a gentle cycle, but always check the care label first. Re-waterproofing may be necessary periodically to maintain effectiveness.
