Description
All-Season Therapeutic Support
The Mirotec TecRug is a cutting-edge, all-season rug designed to deliver therapeutic benefits and continuous lymphatic support for your horse, 24/7. Featuring award-winning Mirotec space blanket technology, it offers self-regulating temperature control and effectively wicks away moisture to maintain optimal comfort while promoting a healthier, shinier coat.
Lymphatic and Muscle Function
The inner lining of the TecRug incorporates Mirotec strips that manage FIR infrared radiation, helping to relax muscles, improve flexibility, and minimise lactic acid build-up.
FIR therapy plays a significant role in supporting the lymphatic system, which is essential for fluid balance, immune function, and waste removal. It is widely used to enhance detoxification, improve mobility, boost circulation, reduce swelling, and promote healing.
Pre- and Post-Exercise Support
Designed to support your horse before and after exercise, the TecRug provides passive stimulation to promote lymphatic function while preparing muscles, tendons, and ligaments for activity.
Post-exercise, it helps reduce lactic acid build-up, alleviate muscle soreness, and accelerate recovery, ensuring your horse can perform at its peak.
A healthy lymphatic system is vital for overall wellbeing, recovery, and performance, playing a key role in toxin removal, swelling reduction, and immune support.
Ideal Uses
- Show coat preparation
- Exercise and recovery
- Yearling development
Suitable for both stable and paddock use, the TecRug can also be layered under a waterproof rug for added protection in harsh conditions.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will my horse overheat?
When used as directed and with appropriate monitoring, Mirotec manufacturing specifications are designed to enhance breathability. Always assess the temperature and environment when using the TecRug.
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. For outdoor use in inclement weather, we recommend pairing the TecRug with a waterproof cover.
Can horses travel wearing the TecRug?
Transport use depends on individual horses and conditions. If your horse becomes hot or excitable during travel, it may be best to apply the TecRug upon arrival.
Some users report that horses wearing the TecRug on long journeys arrive less fatigued and recover more quickly. We recommend becoming familiar with the product before using it for transport.
What if my horse dislikes the rustling sound?
Introduce the TecRug gradually, allowing your horse to see and sniff it before fitting. While some horses may be cautious initially, most adapt within a few uses and appear relaxed while wearing Mirotec products.
