    The harder I try the worse we get – dressage woes!

    PolyPads?

    I agree with shysmum! I only really use polly pads! Definately the classic only. The double ones are too thick and no good at all!! Change fit of the saddle pinch and slip about. I have no problem using 2 classic poly pads in one go though. So I've always wondered why the double is no good...

    Rambo vs Amigo?

    i love all horseware rugs i think they are great. ive never had a problem with my 600d llites though what you have to remember is that the 600d is the thinnest rug outer. 1200d is thicker thus stronger and i would imagine more waterproof. the rhino are again really thick outer though i cant...
