Description

Officially an award-winning turnout, the Boxter Turnout by Leader Equine is the 2024 Equitana Business Awards Horse Innovation Category winner! 

Our Boxter Turnouts were designed for your horse's comfort and protection as the priority. We wanted to consider their true freedom to graze, freedom to move as well as their safety in the paddock, and ensure waterproof, robust and breathable fabric again for their comfort and protection. 

Freedom to graze for us meant taking pressure away from under the neck, freedom to move meant looking at how the shoulder/scapula of the horse truly moves and safety in the paddock meant a front closure that was safe and secure in terms of fit while also being safe from catching on haynets or some types of fencing. 

Both our Boxter Dart and our Field Safe Front Closure have been approved with design protections for being unique in the world and purposeful in their intention. 

Of course, if we are designing a rug for the comfort of your horse, it is not complete without being waterproof and breathable with a rating of 10,000/10,000mm, durable with its 1200D polyester fabric, and versatile with it's liner compatibility, detachable neck cover included and even the extra little detail of a lifted design of the attachments for the neck cover to allow more give when the horse is reaching down reducing friction on the horse's mane, without affecting the fit or movement of the rug itself. 

Differences between Colours

Rifle Green offers our latest updates including a longer, deeper neck rug, extra protection to wrap under the belly, and our new lightweight 'pillow' bib next to the chest under the clips. 

We also have included an extra pair of d-rings at the back of the rug so in very stormy weather you can add a second strap, but also you can adjust the height that your tail cord sits at depending on what suits your horse's fit best.

Care

• Wash cold or max 30 degrees, gentle cycle, use a waterproof coating safe detergent e.g Nikwax Rug Wash
• Gentle Spin and line dry in the shade away from any direct source of heat
• Should not need to reproof for three seasons minimum
• Antibacterial lining should allow you to reduce how often you wash to once at the end of season, this prolongs your waterproofing
• When not in use, store in dry, cool, dark space. Do not leave on gates/fences for the long term life of your rug.
