Helpful Hints for choosing the Perfect FAL Rug for your Horse Whether you require an outdoor, stable, traveling or cooler rug, FAL will be able to provide a rug to suit your horse’s needs. We hope that this guide will prove useful however if you have any questions regarding the type and weight of rug to buy consult your nearest stockist or telephone our Customer Services Department on There are many types of rug on the market, the majority of which are foreign made. The FAL~PRO range of rugs however, are British designed and made with the horses’ comfort and safety in mind.
wish the rug to finish (A.B) — see Sizing Chart. Horses vary in size, so does the depth of girth, therefore it is essential to take this measurement (C.D). A unique feature of all FAL-PRO rugs is the generous depth a factor which is extremely important for large sized/deep bellied horses Should you have a large fronted/heavy horse, we also advise that you take a measurement of the circumference of the neck (E.F). This will provide a good indication of whether or not you require the Extra Neck size A badly fitting rug will slip and rub causing irritation and proving uncomfortable for your horse to wear. It is advised to allow the dual purpose rugs to finish beyond the point of the quarters to allow plenty of room in the rug for your horse to gallop and roll freely.
FAL PRO dual purpose rugs are made using ultra tough hi tech fabrics which are then coated with a micro porous formula making the fabric ioo I waterproof This means that the outer fabric will resist the penetration of rain through the outside and still allow sweat or condensation caused by the horses body heat to slowly evaporate through at the rate of 150 200 millilitres per hour depending on the rug Therefore it is beneficial to leave the rug on the horse until all of the moisture has had time to evaporate through the outer fabric. This stops the horse from getting a chill and ensures the heat from the horse allows the micro-porous coating to do its job. A horse rug is the same as any other item of clothing in that if it is removed when it in still wet or damp it should be hung up in a dry well ventilated area Occasionally in heavy rain some moisture penetration may occur in the sewn areas of the rug This is not significant and due to the positioning of the stitching will not affect the performance of the rug — that is to keep even the most adverse weather out! All FAL PRO rugs are designed so that there is a breaking point for your horses safety and it would be dangerous to the horse to make a rug so strong that it would not give way in the event of your horse getting caught or trapped in an obstacle.
