Thermal Rugs
 

Polojo horse rugs are designed on the ever-durable design of the New Zealand rug. The ripstop canvas is waterproof and breathable leaving your horse dry from both rain and sweat. The back straps which cross over between the horses back legs allow your horse full movement out in the paddock and in the stables, without the rug slipping or sliding out of place.

     
  The inner layer of lightweight thermal fleece keeps the heat in and cold out, allowing horses in the coldest conditions to stay warm.

Every rug comes standard with a tail guard, shoulder gussets and an attached neckpiece for extra comfort and better fit. The neckpiece prevents heat loss through the horse's large neck surface. It also prevents uneven sun bleaching and uneven hair regrowth. Having the neckpiece attached creates easy application, while avoiding loss or theft.

Polojo rugs are available with leather or webbing back straps, while all neckpieces come standard with leather straps. The rugs are also available with cotton inners or no inners to be used as a day sheet or summer rug.

Rugs must always be applied correctly to avoid injury to your horse or damage to your rug. The back straps must be crossed over between the horses back legs, however the left strap attaches to the left ring and the right strap to the right ring. When putting a rug on, one must always start from the back and move towards the front, this prevents accidents, where horses take off and the rug falls between their front legs (only being attached around the horses neck) destroying the rug and putting the horse in danger.
 
d By doing the back up first, if the horse takes off, the rug simply slides off its back with no danger to the horse or the rug. The opposite applies to taking the rug off, always start from the front and move towards the back.
