Hi all. Looking into buying a 6ft 3 heavyweight combo ( or could have separate neck). Would like a large neck and a large tail flap. Can anyone recommend any please?

As cheap as possible!! Realise I will need to pay for what I want though.

I rate the Gallop trojan xtra rugs, especially at their price - their tail flaps might not be quite big enough though:

The new shires turnouts look like they have big tail flaps too.

Swish have big tail flaps as do the Shires Highlanders

I bought two shires Highlander Plus rugs this year. 1200d outers and they are lovely.
Have a look at Hope Valley Saddlery’s Horseware rug sale.
I think HVS also had some cheaper jumpers Horseline or something turnouts for about £40/50 but can’t remember exactly what they were.
They also had some black Loveson turnouts also 1200d really cheaply.

Shires highlander plus rugs are lovely I looked at them a few weeks back in Tittmus and I'm buying the 50g detachable necks for my 2 they do 200g and 30og I think.

All the gallop rugs I bought leaked after about a year so I stopped buying them, mine do live out so they take a battering but they are in when it's torrential.I rate the Gallop trojan xtra rugs, especially at their price - their tail flaps might not be quite big enough though:

Thank you. Do you find the necks nice and long, so when horse ears he still has protection to his ears?

I would recommend buying the best you can secondhand. There are a lot of heavy weight rugs for sale as people find they hardly use them so can be in great condition. Definitely buy one that is 1200D whatever though.

With the highlander? Yes it’s long. Perfect on my Welsh D pony and also my TB, fits both types!

Yes I’d say they are a decent length, (unlike the cheaper tempest I also tried- really short neck!)
I bought them because one of my horse gets sore withers and so far so good

Premier Equine used to have big tails flaps and big hoods. They were excellent for keeping the horses covered up in the stormy weather we get up here but they are heavy when wet.

Annoyingly, the best I’ve had is a Premier Equine. Which wasn’t overly cheap.

Slightly better prices if you shop around rather than direct oddly!
I just got a buster high neck turnout from Saddle masters for £128 whereas its £160 from PE

I've just moved over to MudRugs! Honestly I cannot recommend enough. Chester's rugs have always slipped, moved and he can easily get rubs but he's been in 300g for 6 weeks and out 24/7 and they never move! I've just taken receipt of the 400g for the colder snap!
