The ultimate Summer Rug for the heat of Summer and for hot humid weather when biting insects are at their peak and when Summer itch can be a major problem. Some horses do not cope well in these conditions and this is the ideal rug for them. It is made with 60% natural cotton/ 40% Polyester blend Flag cloth and woven to the highest standard with a cooling open weave that is a very lightweight 200gsm. It has been designed to have the greatest breathability cooling and wicking ability out there even compared with any other synthetic flag cloth sheets. The bright green trim tape is 100% polyester.
The Combo neck rug is satin lined at the mane and also comes with three adjustable and strong side release clips that help give some immediate relief if the rug gets caught on an object such as a fence and helps to prevent any further damage to the neck rug. The neck rug also comes standard with wool lining at the poll to help reduce any risk of rubbing the mane poll area where horses love to rub.
Due to its special open weave and lightweight properties, this rug/sheet it is not designed to be used out in large open pastures or in larger turnout paddocks that has many objects like trees, posts, barb wire fencing, that can catch and/or easily tear the fabric as it is more fragile and easily damaged compared to our other summer woven fabrics.
This rug is perfect for that sensitive 'itchy' horse that will tear itself apart unless protected in a small turnout pen or yard during the day, covered from head to foot and constantly sprayed from head to foot with insect repellant. We all know this type of horse...there is always one out there, no matter what they are fed and how much we spray them, the one that needs this extra special care.
NB: Because of the high cotton fibre content of the base fabric it is important that the rug receives special care when washing to avoid shrinkage. DO NOT use Hot water when washing and carefully soak overnight after using a stain remover. Hand wash only in a mild to warm temperature with a wool wash to take care of it and help it last. We suggest you use a good fabric conditioner and add some bug repellent drops like Eucalyptus, Citronella or Cedar Oil or Pyrethrin into your fabric conditioner to help discourage flies and bugs pestering your horse.
An optional belly band with elastic straps will be available for this rug soon.
