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 Hind Canterpants
Hind pants have hock shaping in them, whereas front pants are straighter.
Hind Canterpants are simply clipped onto the leg strap D-rings at the stifle and rump (or alternatives)
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 hind pant leg onto your rug's leg strap D-rings so that the bottom of the pant leg sits on or just above the ground.
- Open the zip, wrap the pant leg around the horse's leg and secure zip and velcro.
- Repeat for the right hind 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 do not have standard leg strap D-rings you will need to have them sewn into your rug.
