    PE Rugs - Let's Play A Game!

    The main reason i like PE rugs is their elasticated neck design that stops wind whistling down my horse's neck in winter. I believe they own the patent on that design feature which is why you don't find it on other T/O's.

    What breed/s in this dog??

    Starting over rugging horses already..... 17° in the sun :-(

    Whoopit, the thread is about the common place of heavy rugs on horses when its still just under 20c in the day time some days not rainsheets. Amazing how some people can read a topic and seemly not understand it at all.

    There's always worse evils done in the world. This thread was totally clear what it was about, if you have an 'god, this is starting early this year/rolls eyes' feeling towards it, why on earth did you click on the thread to read it? Doh.
