Are your rugs standing up to today's weather?

[Florrie]

Well I got down to the farm quite late tonight (Poor Tagsey has been out in the worst of today's torrential rain) and when I unrugged him in his stable, he was absolutely bone dry under his rug!
He was rugged in his 1000D Horseware Rhino Plus T/O.

So how have your rugs held up in today's rain?

Yes second hand Rambo Supreme I want a ballistic nylon coat! My horse is better dressed than I am

 

[elduende]

Mine was bone dry too. He has a Ruggles heavyweight (just been clipped out) which was ridiculously cheap - little bit narrow in the shoulder but nice and deep. Well pleased with it.

 

[Florrie]

My horse is better dressed than I am

Aren't they all?

 

[milliepops]

Aren't they all?

Yes and now come to think of it, having just looked in the cupboards and found precious little for dinner, she's better fed too

Safe to say we look after our horses better than we look after ourselves!

 

[ihatework]

Rambo supreme on one - clean and bone dry. Other 2 naked, wet and peed off but still fat as butter and with plenty of grass to eat and trees to shelter under!

 

[Merlin11]

2 of mine in LW's where soaked through. Had to Change their rugs. Think they need reproofing.

 

[thatsmygirl]

Mine are in Rambos so bone dry

 

[eggs]

4 in Rambo Duos, 1 in Bucas and 1 in PE Trio and all bone dry

 

[WandaMare]

Yep mine in Amigos and both warm and dry, rugs had good test today

 

[starryeyed]

My mare's in a premier equine which looked soaking on the outside but when I lifted it off to see how wet she was she was completely dry! First "proper rain" experience with one and very impressed after endless rubbish weatherbeetas. Our other horses Amigo kept him totally dry too.
Little pony's LW was soaked through so that's come off!

 

[OldNag]

Ys. Dead cheap Shires combo. Bone dry!

 

[han4]

Mine in a saxon 180g, dry

 

[Highlands]

Two Rambos dry and cosy, other two naked but happy!

 

[BillyBob-Sleigh]

Mine was in his bargain basement heavyweight Rhinegold combo rug and was wet on his quarters, I didn't expect it to be great but was still disappointed, think I will now only use it for cold weather!

 

[ROMANY 1959]

Big boy in a second hand shires mw all cosy, tb in a mw masta, she dry too. Big boy out in hilly field, mare in stable cos she nesh!!!!

 

[Lotty]

My girl is lovely and toasty and dry in her Amigo 1200d medium.

 

[kerrieberry2]

2 of mine in LW's where soaked through. Had to Change their rugs. Think they need reproofing.

light weights aren't designed to with stand this type of rain! I used to work for a rug cleaning company and people used to complain about them but they really aren't good enough! they defo need a medium with this weather!

 

[clip_clop]

Mine was in his weatherbeeta orican combo today which is 5 years old and was bone dry, its a freestyle one with the big tail flap it always keeps him snug

 

[Fifty Bales of Hay]

Both mine good in their Rambo Duo's - me, well I got soaked to my knickers yet again! Theres something wrong here.

 

[WelshD]

Yes, pony totally bone dry under a supercheap Loveson Allpro 100g combo. His no fill sheet of the same brand is every bit as good. Very pleased with these rugs

 

[JustKickOn]

Mark Todd middle weight, nice and warm and dry underneath it.

 

[colouredhat]

2year old medium weight derby house rug, been out for 24hours In pouring rain ... bone dry! Really impressed, was expecting a very soggy horse!
House meanwhile is leaking!

 

[The Fuzzy Furry]

and 1 in PE Trio and all bone dry

Same here for DF
Other one soggy in own fuzzy coat

 

[MerrySherryRider]

Rambo heavy weight and Rhino XL lightweight. Both horses bone dry.

I was soaked to the skin.

 

[TigerTail]

Both of mine seemed rather damp around the edges tonight, my only conclusion is the amount of wind is blowing their rugs up and if they stand head on the wind is blowing them up off their backs so rain is getting underneath .

One is in a 2 yr old rambo optima, the other a brand new big horse shop rain sheet - cant both be leaking fps!

 

[Equilibrium Ireland]

Yup, all Horseware's finest!

Terri

 

[Squeak]

Cheap LW Weatherbeeta is still going For now...

 

[Grumpymoo]

Both of my lightweight amigos have been fine so far! Which I wasn't expecting as it has been horrendous
