How do I take care of my rug?

Firstly remove excess dirt from the outside with a stiff brush or hose the rug down. The rug can be either washed by hand or, to make life easier, on a delicate machine cycle on a cool wash (maximum temperature 30 degrees C).

Use only very mild soap. Horseware only recommends using RAMBO wash - an environmentally, friendly, phosphate free product for use on synthetic fabrics. This mild wash will effectively remove dirt and grime while not reducing the waterproofing of the rug.

It is important to remember that excessive washing, at too high temperatures and using harsh detergents will compromise the waterproof coating. When the rug has been washed according to the above guidelines, rinse it thoroughly and leave to drip dry. DO NOT TUMBLE DRY Store the rug when it is completely dry. Rugs should be stored in a dry and sealed area.

Occasionally your Rambo, Rhino or Amigo Turnout may benefit from being re-proofed to keep the waterproof coating in top condition. Any re-proofer for synthetic rugs, such as Nikwax will work effectively on Horseware Turnouts.

Follow the manufacturer's instructions carefully. If you follow these guidelines your Rambo Turnout can give your horse many years of effective protection from the elements. There is no doubt about it – RAMBO’S LAST LONGER! They are made from Super Strong BALLISTIC NYLON – the stuff they make bulletproof vest from – you can’t get much tougher than that! The SUPER SMOOTHNESS of this fabric makes it almost impossible for a horse to get a good grip of it with his teeth; the shiny surface makes them slide right off the rug. The smoothness of the fabric also gives Horseware’s unique AquaTrans™ coating a stable structure to bond to which helps it to stay long lasting – we are so confident in this we GUARANTEE the RAMBO® turnout Rugs for 3 Years! No Seams or Gussets mean a RAMBO® turnout eliminates the weakest link of many horse rugs. They are made from one whole piece of Ballistic Nylon and the non-slip design means the rug will sit comfortably on your horse rather than having to strap it to him with long surcingles and leg straps - A RAMBO® turnout will literally FLOAT on your horse.
