Amigo lightweight turnouts

[Ginn]

Have seen these for £34 locally in pink!

Are they any good - doesn't matter if they only do 1 season as madam will be out of it by next year anyway but at that price it would seem a bit of a bargin!

Also how does the fit come up? Tilly is quite l/w and hasn't filled out much. Last year her Masta rubbed the front of her shoulders where is was too big across them.

i have one!! i bought it last year..and have used it this year too.
it's quite deep..but not too deep. maddie has akwardly shaped shoulders..but the amigo doesn't rub[i have found that masta's do rub on her]
personally i find them fab!..real value for money

Love em - I have one for Amymay 1200 denier - I suspect the one you have seen is 600 denier, so not quite as tough. But still should be pretty durable.

I found the sizing absolutely right and didn't have a problem with rubbing. But I do use a Bossy Bib as routine with turnout rugs.

The price is good.

Where was that?! I Brought G's heavyweight locally to you for that sort of price, he has the lwt and hwt amigo and love them both. Fit really well, and are quite tough. I got mine from Stroud....

Yeah, stroud do some really decent stuff - they have some gorgeous leatherwork!!! And being an RC member I get a 10% discount which helps!

 

[KatB]

Lol! Definitely. They do do good rug sales aswell, hence why mentioned them. Were my lifeline when on a "grooms wage"!! Lol!

They're brilliant...get one!!

I found it was a little deep on Sid, but nice deep...so all of him was well covered! Stood up to all types of weather and an assortment of hawthorn hedges that Sid took to barging through!

Didn't rub at all and he was out in it 24/7!

I bought one this year.... I've found it really good. It is shaped round the legs and is plenty deep enough. My mare has been out in some pretty heavy rain this summer and it has kept her warm and dry. Would def get another one - although this one will last a while yet - it's pretty robust to be honest.

I have one from 2 years ago (5ft 9), my friend got one for her horse last year (6ft 3) and then went to buy one this year for our new pony who is normally a 5ft 3 and it came up really small and his belly was hanging out the bottom and the surcingles wouldn't do up! Unfortunately they didn't have the newer one in a 5ft 6 so we went for the tougher one where you can attach a neck to it and that came up a bit big!! Not sure what's going on with them this year ... maybe it's just a sizing difference between 5ft 3 and 5ft 6 as my boys always had 5ft 9's.

People were complaining that the rambo and rhinos came up diferent sizes and quality last year as well.

I have one on my TB mare, who is narrow and it fits great, I had the Navy one, slightly tougher material, but would really rate them.......

I have one, but its NOT the one which comes in a few colours - think my Amigo LW turnout only came in navy. It looks identical, the only difference is it is tougher denier-wise than the other one! (I think one is called a LW, the other a summer??). Its brilliant. My boy has been in his quite often through the whole summer, its never leaked ONCE and never even slips! I was shocked to find it didnt have any hind leg straps when it arrived however it really does not slip without them. I dont think this one was any more expensive than the other lower denier version. But if it is a little more pricey, its worth it - I find the higher denier means less chance of leakages in downpours.

Mine is on my TB who is LW. It is such a light rug and has shiny lining, so it basically just skims over him and hasnt rubbed at all.

Highly recommended!
