FAULTS.

If you receive your order and have inspected it before use and you find a fault, please email us to organise a replacement.

Sizing issues including rugs that are too big or too small is not a fault in manufacturing.

Faults include issues relating to the manufacturing process such as a buckle or strap missing entirely from a rug. These are human error and we have no problems in getting this sorted for you.

Please be aware that faults DO NOT include broken buckles, rips or tears, busted stitching etc unless they are broken, torn, damaged before the rug has been used. (Please see acceptance of product to define ‘Used’). Due to the unpredictable nature and size of horses no warranty if offered on any rugs so it is imperative that you inspect your product before use.

We do not guarantee that our rugs will last any set period of time. Horses are unpredictable and therefore horse rugs can be easily be destroyed or torn via misadventure.
Misadventure can occur within the first hour or 2nd year of your horse wearing their product. Our products do not come with any warranty, express or implied.
This does not excule your rights under consumer law.

FAULTS  BY DAMAGE.

Rugs can and will get damaged from any other following:
  • torn from slipping.

  • biting.

  • ill fitting rug etc – the list of possibilities is endless!

Given that horses are large animals and can weigh in excess of 500kg, they can and will break items. This does not mean your product is faulty or has been made to a lesser standard. At some point all rugs will give whether they’re a $50 product or a $500 product. This is for safety reasons so that if your beloved steed catches themselves in a pickle and caught up in a fence or tree. The rug will give, allowing them to be freed from danger rather then caught up and unable to feed and water which becomes a welfare issue.
