LeMieux Arika Featherweight Paardendeken

This technical, self-adjusting turnout rug is feather-light and designed for transitional weather to keep your horse clean and protected in the field.

The custom-made, breathable, and waterproof 900 Denier outer layer is cut across the full width of the rug, preventing leaks and eliminating the need for a back seam. Combined with an antibacterial, antistatic, shine-enhancing lining, the rug stays perfectly balanced on your horse.

Safety is ensured with a design-registered front closure. The top ends of the two sturdy T-bars are placed at a 45° angle to reduce pressure on the point of the shoulder, providing comfort and freedom of movement. Supported by a sandwich of anti-pilling Velcro, you can trust that the rug will stay securely in place.

Traditional rugs wrap around the horse’s body, creating tension around the shoulders and hindquarters, which can be restrictive and cause friction. Our globally patented two-piece skirt design breaks this tension, allowing unrestricted movement while retaining warmth and protecting your horse’s body from splashes. Cross surcingles with a removable central strap keep the rug securely fastened.

Reflective safety strips ensure your horse remains visible in low-light conditions. A silicone-coated fillet string keeps everything clean and tidy, while an extra-long tail flap protects the top of the tail.

This rug comes with a detachable neck and is compatible with the full range of LeMieux rug liners, chest protectors, and neck systems, ensuring all-season adaptability.
