EquoIQ turnout blanket 1680 dn 50 gr

EquoIQ outdoor rug 50 gr with 1680 dn wear resistance is made to last extra long and under tougher demands.

We develop blankets to fit all different types of horses.
The blanket is adapted to each horse individually, regardless of whether it is narrow or broad in the shoulder.

The blanket can be individually adjusted to each horse thanks to the three D-rings spaced 7 cm apart on each side of the horse. The total circumference to adjust around the shoulder is almost 30 cm, which is a lot.
The blanket is also easy to put on and take off because the buckles on the shoulder part are located on the side.

Our rugs are more often being recommended by veterinary’s, osteopaths, masseurs and other people working with healthcare of horses thanks to the anatomical design and the great freedom of movement that the horse gets when using our blankets.

Choosing the right size?
It is the length of the back that determines which size you should choose. Measure the length of your horse from the withers and back to the dock. The measuring tape should follow the horse’s back. That length is the correct size needed for your horse. If your horse have a different shape of the body you might need to take another size. For example: if the measuring tape measures 136 cm, you choose a blanket in size 135.

Guidelines to choose the correct size:

Size 75/85 is for mini shettis
Size 95/105 is for Shetland ponies
Size 115 is for B ponies
Size 125 is for C ponies
Size 135 is for D-pony or small horse
Size 145 is for horses up to 170 cm in height at the withers
Size 155 is for horses approx. 170-180 cm in height at the withers
Size 165 is for horses over 180 cm in height at the withers

Fit the blanket correctly:
It is important that the blanket is not tightened too tightly, as this can cause unnecessary pressure on the withers. Leave about a hand’s width between the blanket and the chest when tightening it. The blanket should appear to be a little loose when put on. It should not be too tight when the horse lowers its head. The cross-girths need to be tightened so that there is a hand’s width left.

There is a bracket for the wither protector at all rugs.

How warm a blanket should I choose?

Horses are much more patient than us humans, although they are individual too.
In fact, overheating is a more common problem than being too cold. If you have a hard time choosing between two different rugs, go with the cooler version.

Environment and sustainability:

EquoIQ rugs are not only ergonomic and promote free movement for your horse. We care about the environment and want to be part of sustainable consumption. We have chosen not to use fleece in our products by two reasons: To minimize plastic particles shredding and to eliminate the risk of static electricity which often occurs when horses have their coats trimmed.

Care for your rug:

How to maintain and wash your EquoIQ ergonomic turnout rug for horses. Take proper care of your new rug from EquoIQ and you will have a rug that lasts considerably longer than many others on the market today. Make sure to keep the rug waterproof by impregnate the rug when it starts to absorb moisture, the water drops should ideally bounce on the fabric and run off.

To keep the rug waterproof and to avoid that the PU coating enters the environment we recommend rinsing the rug off and carefully brushing away the dirt. Hang it carefully to dry. Of course, you can wash the rug in a washing machine. Keep your winter rug waterproof by re-impregnating it regularly. Feel free to engrain it with an environmentally friendly engraining agent after washing.
