How to Take Off A Rug
Unless you know the horse, put a head collar on and tie him up.
|
1. Undo the surcingles (securing straps) from the left side then go round to the right side and loosely knot them together |
 |
|
2. Undo the breast buckles of the rug. Undo the leg straps, if the rug has them, then do them back up (ready for putting the rug back on) |
 |
|
3. Fold the rug in half (front onto back), |
 |
|
4. With your left hand on the fold and your right hand on the seam at the rear of the rug, remove the rug with a backward sweep following the lie of the horse's hair |
 |
|
5. Re-fold the rug and place the rug in a dry corner of the stable. If your horse likes chewing rugs then place it outside of the stable in a dry place. |
