Before You Start - Check Your Rug!
Canterpants® have been designed based on certain assumptions about your rug. Before fitting, please ensure your rug meets our requirements has the necessary attachments (standard chest strap and leg strap D-Rings) or that you have the necessary attachmnents fitted to your rug and/or chest bib.
If you're unsure, check our Rug Requirements, or contact Yvette
Fitting Instructions for Front Canterpants
Front pants are straighter, and Hind pants have hock shaping in them.
Front Canterpants are simply clipped onto the front and rear connection points (Chest Buckle and Belly Band respectively), adjusted for size and secured by zip and velcro.
To tell left from right - Hold the pant leg with the logo facing you (outer leg) and if the zip is on the left, it is a left leg; and vice-versa
- With the zip closed, clip the left front leg on to the D-ring at the chest and belly and adjust the straps so that the bottom of the pant leg sits on or just above the ground.
- Undo the zip, wrap the pant leg around the horse's leg and secure the zip and velcro
- Repeat for the right front leg
- Take your horse for a short walk to check the fit. The pant leg should lose the bagginess, but not ride up over the fetlock.
- Adjust the straps if necessary.
Note: If you are not using the Belly Band and Chest Buckle you will need to provide alternative connection points at the chest and behind the elbows.
