Best reasonably-priced mediumweight turnout?

[Puddock]

Sorry, I know there are lots of rug posts around at the moment, but am absolutely overwhelmed by the number of rugs available.

Horsey hasn't been clipped yet and I am in need of a mediumweight for after the deed has been done. Being in Scotland, I would expect to move on to a heavyweight quite soon, so don't want to spend a lot. However, he does need one as only has heavies and a rain sheet at the moment.

Recommendations, pretty please?

Hi,
I think derby house own brand are fab especially for the price (I have just invested in a full neck medium wight turn out) and they are on offer at the moment - bargain!

The Amigo Mediums are great, we have them on the ponies at work

I agree on the Amigos! The livery yard I worked at once had a horse in one, and clipped out he stayed lovely and warm

Another vote for the amigo here.

I really rate the Premier Equine rugs. I have two and think they are fantastic and very good prices.

Wetherbeetas! Normally a good deal to be had somewhere.

I rate either JHL rugs or the Derby House own brand. I had a HW and a MW Derby house rugs and they where both fab, fitted and lasted very well.

I would go for the weatherbeeta Original landa m/w t/o. they're going on ebay for £50 but i picked one up from my local tack shop for £55.

Thanks very much all. One of the tack shops in town has the Amigo at £54.95, but it they only have it up to 6"6' and I need a 6"9' - typical! They don't come up absurdly big by any chance do they?

Otherwise, I've found the Weatherbeeta cheaply at one of the ones out of town, so could be in for a long drive on Saturday morning......

I'm trying to avoid postal strike by not ordering online.

Have a look at equestrian clearance (an online site) they usually have a good selection cheaper than elsewhere. The other site I have used is lets go shopping, they are very good for the weatherbeeta rugs - I got mine there last year.

ive found this company great
http://www.tackshop.co.uk/posit/shop/ind...amp;sortorder=1

theyve got a couple of amigo medium turnouts on there and theyve got them in 6'9
plus even better - free shipping on orders of £50

For anyone else who's looking, I've just ordered a Weatherbeeta from Central Saddlery (decided too busy to drive out at the weekend and they use couriers so unaffected by Royal Mail strike) for £42.95:

£5.50 delivery - seems pretty cheap to me

Cybercheckout have the Amigo medium weights in either current colours or older colours Azure Blue or Purple that are cheaper?
