Maintain the function of your horse rugs. Discover suitable accessories such as replacement straps, rug wash, rug racks, and neck covers.

Rug Accessories: Practical Additions and Care Products

The care and maintenance of horse rugs help to preserve their function over a longer period. The right rug accessories include spare parts, specific cleaning agents, and systems for proper storage in the tack room or stable. This supports the lifespan of the equipment and improves the fit of the rug on the horse.

Spare Parts for a Good Fit

In everyday stable life or in the pasture, straps and closures can become damaged or lost. Elastic leg straps, adjustable surcingles, and fixed hind straps with snap hooks serve as straightforward replacements. They ensure that the rug stays in the right position and does not slip during movement, rolling, or windy conditions.

Care and Functionality of Materials

Turnout rugs require coordinated care so that their water-repellent properties are maintained. A specific rug wash gently cleans the fabric at 30 °C (86 °F) without damaging the membrane. After several washes, applying a rug conditioner (reproofing spray) is recommended to renew the rain protection. Additionally, an anti-bite spray can help if horses tend to chew on rugs in the herd.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is the best way to store horse rugs?
Metal rug racks are suitable for orderly storage in the stable. There are simple bars, chain models, or swiveling racks with multiple arms for space-saving storage. For transport or storage during the summer, robust rug bags are a good choice.

Can I attach a neck cover to any rug?
No, the rug must have appropriate Velcro fastenings or attachments to securely attach a neck cover. Brands like Bucas offer matching Combi-Neck covers that are precisely tailored to the fastening system of their rug models.

Why shouldn't I use fabric softener for rain rugs?
Fabric softener clogs the pores of the fabric. As a result, the rug loses its breathability, and the water-repellent coating can be damaged. A specific rug wash is important for preserving the rug's function.

Everything for the Horse Rug: Care and Organization

Well-stocked rug accessories make daily stable life easier. If a strap breaks, the entire rug does not need to be replaced. With adjustable leg straps and elastic surcingles, the equipment can quickly be made ready for use again. For horses that chew on material, an anti-bite spray offers useful protection.

In addition, you will find products for cleaning and storage in our range. Specific rug detergents and reproofing sprays care for the material, while swiveling rug racks and spacious rug bags keep the tack room tidy. Supplementary neck covers complete the selection.
