Washing and Drying
This product can be machine washed at a maximum temperature of 104 degrees Fahrenheit, gentle cycle. Do not use fabric softener. Air dry only and do not tumble dry. Household detergents may damage or destroy the waterproof coating. Do not dry clean.

Waterproof and Breathable Fabric
Bucas Turnout rugs are made with waterproof and breathable fabric. In order to retain the waterproof and breathable properties of this type of fabric, it is essential that the washing instructions be adhered to. In the case of Turnout blankets, please note that water may find its way in from the edges and stitching. In most conditions this will be very limited but during heavy rainfall, an amount of water may run down the neck and inside the blanket.

Water Repellency
The waterproof and breathable fabrics used in Bucas Turnout Blankets 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 wear and is also affected by washing. To restore the full water repellent properties of the fabric, Bucas Rug Conditioner is recommended.

Tips To Get the Perfect Blanket Fit

Measure your horse in six simple steps
Basically, all equine blankets and sheets have similar designs. They cover your horse's barrel from withers to tail and hang to just below the elbows and stifles. However, not all blankets or sheets are cut in the same manner. As such, check the manufacturer's measuring guidelines to ensure the best fit of your chosen blanket or sheet.

Regardless of the manufacturer's recommendations, however, there are some simple ways to ensure you obtain the correct measurements of your horse. If possible, corral a companion or tie up your horse to help keep her still while you measure her. Then:

1. Ensure your horse stands squarely in a natural position.
2. Stand on your horse's side with the end of your measuring tape in your left hand. Place the end of the measuring tape at the point where your horse's neck meets the center of her chest.
3. Using your right hand, draw the tape along her left side and over the widest part of her shoulder. Continue to draw the tape in this manner for the extent of your reach.
4. Note the measurement. Then mark the spot of your reach with your right thumb. Move down to the spot you've marked with your thumb. Place the end of the measuring tape at this point.
5. Using your right hand, continue to draw the tape along your horse's side and across the point of her buttocks, which is the hindmost part of the quarters and about 10 to 12 inches below where the tail and body meet. Note this measurement.
6. Add your two measurements together to get your blanket size.
