The Meaning Behind The Name
Named after our Founding Directors cherished first foal, Oakley was the heart and soul of the stables. From her first wobbly steps to her floaty paces as a just backed 3 year old she was a consistent joy and pleasure to have around. She was full of passion and certainly knew who her owner was. Unfortunately Oakley passed away in 2021 and as Estherโs pioneering foal, she will always hold a special place in all of our hearts. She was not just a horse, she was a beloved member of the family.

Hand washing is best.
Never use detergent or bleach as it can damage the waterproof coating.
Out turnout rugs boast a 3000mm waterproof and the breathability ranges from 3000-8000 MVT (Molar Value Transmission). The MVT is measured in gms/m2/24 Hours. The higher the MVT value the more breathable the fabric is.
All turnouts have a PU coating inside which is Hydrophilic (Water Loving) in nature, drawing excess sweat and moisture to it. The temperature difference between the air inside and outside of the rug then forces moisture outwards. During heavy rain fall the pores in the outer layer of the rug are covered in water making it impossible for air inside the rug to escape, at that moment in time the rug is in a 0 breathability state, causing sweat inside the rug, this can sometimes be mistaken for a leaking rug.
All waterproof rugs have taped seams at the stitching joints however it is not possible to tape seam or heat-seal every stitching, webbing or fastening from water penetration.
