Horseware Rambo Optimo Plus Turnout Rug 0g

Horseware makes the Optimo roomier because it is intended for larger horses, and recommends sizing down from your usual size. So measure again and check against the size chart, even if you know the size of his current rug.

Use the Optimo Plus 0g as a waterproof rug in spring and autumn, or on mild, wet winter days. If your horse needs more warmth, add an Optimo liner rather than switching rugs straight away. Breed, coat, clipping, wind and damp together determine what your horse needs; check regularly with your hand under the rug at the withers that he is neither too warm nor too cold.

Choose the Optimo Plus 0g if your horse is bigger or broader-built and you are looking for a lightweight, waterproof turnout rug with a hood. It suits any horse turned out, from sport horse to leisure horse.

Want a liner and a neck cover in one set from the start? Then the Rambo Optimo Turnout Bundle (0g Outer with 400g Liner) is the alternative. No need for a hood? Choose the Horseware Rambo Optimo Turnout 0g. Looking for a rug with fixed fill rather than a liner? Take a look at the Horseware Rambo 1680D Plus Turnout Deken met Vari-Layer, in 250g or 450g and with a hood.

Place the rug over the back and fasten the chest first with the V-Front Closure. Then do up the surcingles under the belly and position the tail cord under the tail. Attach the hood to the rug if you want to cover the neck. Machine wash at 30°, line dry away from heat and do not use bleach, a tumble dryer or an iron. Store the rug in a breathable bag.

Does the Rambo Optimo Plus come up large?
Yes. Horseware builds the Optimo for larger horses and recommends choosing one size smaller than you would normally take.

How do I measure my horse?
From the centre of the chest, over the point of the shoulder, to the centre of the tail. Subtract 10 cm and compare with the Horseware size chart.

What does Plus mean for this rug?
This rug comes with a detachable hood. Horseware does not specify the fill weight of that hood.

Is this rug warm enough for winter?
It is a lightweight 0g version. For colder days, add an Optimo liner or choose a rug with fixed fill.

Which liner fits under this rug?
The Optimo Plus is compatible with Horseware's Optimo liners. No liner is supplied with this rug.

How do I wash the rug?
