Whether for daily turnout, post-exercise cool down, or unpredictable weather, the Bucas Smartex Turnout Rug delivers outstanding performance in every situation.
To provide your horse with the optimal fit, comfort and protection that it deserves, it is important to select the most appropriate rug for your horse.
When choosing a Bucas Rug, you must consider two factors
The following instructions outline a step-by-step approach to measuring your horse for a Bucas rug to provide an optimal fit, comfort and ease of movement.
Bucas recommends that the horse be measured from (A) the centre point of the chest, over the high point of the shoulder, and then to (B) the rear of the hind leg. When you have the measurement, choose the nearest size from the table below, or email: admin@bucas.com and we can post a Bucas measure tape to you.
*Please note that it is the measurement of the horse that determines the size.
Bucas products may be machine washed at a maximum temperature of: 30ºC / warm wash (86ºF), gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener. Air Dry only and do not tumble dry. Use only Bucas Rug Wash for products with waterproof fabric. Household detergents may damage or destroy the waterproof coating. Do not dry clean.
Bucas Turnout rugs are made with waterproof and breathable fabric. In order to retain the waterproof and breathable properties of this fabric, it is essential that the washing instructions be adhered to. Please note that water may find its way inside the rug from around the edges and stitching. In most conditions this will be very limited but during heavy rainfall a considerable amount of water may run down the neck and inside the rug.
Bucas waterproof and breathable fabrics have an additional water repellent outer finish, which protects the fabric and stops the outer fabric from absorbing water. This outer finish is subject to considerable weathering and wear and is also affected by washing. To restore the water-repellent property of the fabric, apply Bucas Rug Conditioner.
For best performance ensure that the rug is the right size for your horse. When not in use store rugs in a dry place with good ventilation.
