“The guard was true to size and was great under my horse’s rugs. I found it especially useful under the heavier, harder to clean rugs as it helped stop them getting too dirty inside. I washed it regularly to prevent any build up of grease and dirt, which was easy to do in a day so it was ready to go back on that night. Overall it has performed well. Sometimes it moved a bit under the rug, so it’d be more secure with a surcingle.”
