Description

Therapeutic Comfort and Performance

The Mirotec SnugRug is a revolutionary winter stable rug offering exceptional warmth and sustained lymphatic support. Its lightweight design uses award-winning Mirotec space blanket technology in the inner lining to provide 24/7 therapeutic benefits without added bulk.

The rug self-regulates your horse’s body temperature and efficiently wicks away moisture, helping to keep your horse warm, dry, and comfortable while improving coat health and shine.

Lymphatic and Muscle Support

Beyond warmth, the SnugRug provides passive stimulation to support lymphatic function. The Mirotec strips utilise FIR infrared radiation to help relax muscles, improve flexibility, and minimise lactic acid build-up.

FIR therapy supports lymphatic health by aiding fluid balance, immune function, and waste removal. It is widely used to improve circulation, reduce swelling, enhance detoxification, accelerate healing, and support recovery.

A healthy lymphatic system is essential for overall wellbeing, immune support, recovery, and peak performance, making the SnugRug a valuable addition to any winter care routine.

Ideal Uses

  • Show coat preparation
  • Exercise and recovery
  • Broodmares
  • Yearling preparation

Designed primarily for stable use, the SnugRug can also be layered under a waterproof rug in wet or harsh conditions.

Benefits

  • Reduced rug costs: no need for multiple layered rugs.
  • Lighter weight: a more comfortable alternative to heavy winter rugs.
  • One efficient solution: replaces several bulky rugs.
  • Time saving: spend up to 50 percent less time fitting and removing rugs.

Many users report exceptional results during yearling sale preparation, with noticeably glossy coats. Some horses wearing the SnugRug do not develop a dense winter coat, potentially reducing the need for clipping.

Tailored to Your Horse

Every horse is unique, and results may vary. The difference between the Mirotec SnugRug and traditional non-reflective rugs is often quickly noticeable, allowing you to adapt usage to suit your horse’s individual needs.

How Mirotec Works

The Mirotec inner lining reflects natural infrared radiation and moist heat back to the body while allowing moisture to escape. This combination enhances circulation, delivers gentle therapeutic support, and provides consistent warmth without overheating.

Helps To

  • Promote healing: increases blood circulation, reduces inflammation, and supports recovery.
  • Prevent injuries: helps warm muscles prior to exercise, reducing strain risk.
  • Aid pain relief: relieves stiffness and improves mobility, particularly for arthritic horses.
  • Ensure comfort: fully adjustable, cotton-lined design for everyday wear.

How to Use

  • Suitable for use alone as a stable rug.
  • For outdoor use, pair with a waterproof cover in wet or harsh weather.
  • Advanced breathability allows excess heat and moisture to escape.
  • Always assess temperature and stable conditions to determine the best approach.

Care Instructions

  • Hand wash or sponge wipe for regular maintenance.
  • If heavily soiled, gently machine wash on a cold cycle.
  • Do not spin dry. Always hang to dry to preserve fabric integrity.

Frequently Asked Questions

Will my horse overheat?

When used as directed and with appropriate monitoring, Mirotec manufacturing specifications are designed to maximise breathability. Always assess the temperature and conditions where your horse is kept while using the SnugRug.

How do I wash it?

Hand wash or sponge wipe where possible. If heavily soiled, gently machine wash on a cold cycle. Do not spin dry. Always hang to dry.

Is it safe to use outdoors?

Yes. When paired with a waterproof cover, the SnugRug can be used outdoors in wet or inclement weather.

Can horses travel wearing the SnugRug?

Transport use depends on individual horses and conditions. If your horse tends to become hot or excitable during travel, it may be better to apply the SnugRug upon arrival. Avoid use during warm or hot travel conditions.

Some users report that Mirotec products help horses arrive less fatigued on long journeys. We recommend becoming familiar with the product before using it for transport.

What if my horse dislikes the rustling sound?

Introduce the SnugRug gradually. Allow your horse to see and sniff it before fitting. While some horses may be wary initially, most adapt within a few uses and appear relaxed while wearing Mirotec products.
