Stable blanket 0g “Capri”

Innovation

• Part of the “Hook&Hold” blanket combination system

Material

• 600D ripstop (water-repellent)
• 0g filling
• Breathability of 3,000 g/m²
• Very lightweight
• Pleasantly soft inside

Function

• Surcingles and detachable leg straps

• Horses during transitional periods (autumn & spring)
• cool days in the stable and changeable temperatures
• ambient temperatures of approx. +15 °C to +5 °C (depending on coat, clipping, and constitution)
• can be used as a light stable rug

Tip: When temperatures fluctuate, you can quickly and securely combine the Capri with one or two under-rugs thanks to the Hook&Hold system – this allows you to adjust the warmth without having to change the entire rug.

Did you know that a stable rug can do more than just keep your horse warm? It ensures that body heat is distributed evenly across the back, which helps the muscles relax faster after exercise and prevents them from cooling down too quickly. Especially during rest periods or overnight, this supports a comfortable feeling and helps the horse feel more relaxed and balanced.

What is the Hook&Hold system on the Capri stable rug?

The Hook&Hold system securely connects top rugs and under-rugs. You use the Capri as a top rug and fasten the under-rug at the front near the shoulder. At the back of the rug, the layers are fixed together using the clip system. This keeps all layers stably connected and prevents them from slipping, even when you need to react quickly to temperature fluctuations in the stable.

Can I also use the Hook&Hold system with rugs from other manufacturers?

Hook&Hold is specifically tailored to SUNRIDE top rugs and under-rugs. The fit, lengths, and connection points are designed precisely for this purpose to ensure the rugs sit securely and function reliably in everyday use.

What does 0g mean for a stable rug?

0g means the rug has no warming fill. It serves as a light protective layer in the stable and protects against drafts. It is ideal as a top rug or for a flexible layering system.

Is 600D ripstop stable enough for everyday stable life?

Yes. 600D ripstop is designed for daily use in the stable. The material is resistant to friction and movement. The ripstop structure prevents small damages from spreading, ensuring the rug remains durable.

What does water-repellent mean for the Capri stable rug?

Water-repellent means that light moisture and splashes do not immediately penetrate the material. This is particularly practical for everyday life in the stable. However, a water-repellent stable rug is not intended for prolonged rain or use as an outdoor rug.

What does a breathability of 3,000 g/m² indicate?

Breathability describes how well moisture can escape to the outside in the form of water vapor. At 3,000 g/m², it helps maintain a pleasant climate under the rug, so less moisture builds up, especially when stable temperatures change.

How easy is the Capri material to care for?

The Capri is made for daily use and can be easily machine-washed at 30°C.

How does the Capri stable rug sit securely on the horse?

Adjustable belly straps ensure a stable fit. Additionally, removable leg straps can be used if more stability is desired. This keeps the rug comfortable and secure, even when the horse is moving.

Are the leg straps really removable – and when does that make sense?

Yes, the leg straps are removable. This is practical if you prefer particularly easy handling in the stable. For horses that like to move around or when more activity is involved, the leg straps provide additional stability.

For which situations is a very light stable rug particularly suitable?

A light stable rug is ideal when protection without additional warmth is required, for example as a base layer in the stable or as a top rug in a layering system. It can be changed quickly and makes rug management particularly flexible.

Can I combine the Capri with under-rugs when it gets colder?

Yes. The Capri is designed as a top rug and can be combined with one or more under-rugs as needed. This allows you to flexibly adjust the warmth while maintaining the same fit and ease of use.

• Only use as intended as a horse rug in the stable or outdoors.
• Check for damage (e.g., tears, broken seams, damaged fasteners, loose straps or eyelets) before each use.
• If damaged or heavily worn, the rug must no longer be used.
• Check the fit regularly to avoid pressure marks or chafing.
• Do not use on open wounds or skin injuries of the horse.
• Only apply to a clean, dry horse.
• Do not use chemical detergents or bleach – clean only according to the care label.
• Allow the rug to dry completely after washing before using it again or storing it.
• Do not dry or store near open flames, heat sources, or electrical devices.
• Do not use as a transport or under rug if it is not intended for this purpose.
• Replace damaged or deformed fastener parts (e.g., carabiners, buckles) immediately.
