Best rugs for depth

[Greenbee]

Hi all,

Just wonder what recommendations you have for deep rugs - got a 17.2hh who is very deep through chest and most rugs look like mini skirts. Thanks in advance.

Masta have always been thought of as the deepest -all the big monsters at our yard had them.

PE very deep. Swish pretty skimpy. Masta's have huge necks IMO so only suitable for cobbier types.

I have a Shires lightweight combo on my big horse, it's really deep and well made. It put it over the top of heavier rugs to save the heavy ones getting filthy. It is a good 6 inches deeper and being light it is easy to deal with.

Master may have improved since I bought one, but the two I have are not deep and do not fit well.

It is a pity Fal went bust, they made cracking rugs for big horses, mine are still as new despite being a good 10 years old.

Big horse shop - designed for clydies/ shires etc so nice and deep cut.

The old Fal rugs are great.

Thanks folks. I've got a couple of the old Fals and they are great - just the wrong size. He needs 7' and I've got 6'6. Typical! What about the Amigo's? Anyone got the larger sizes in those?

The old Fal rugs are great.

^ this Fals are the best for dept IMO

I always thought Fal's or Masta's were the deepest - till I got Premier Equine rugs.
PE are even more deep - and fit better round the neck for anything that is not a well stacked cob.

I use the no fill Amigo's they are deep and well cut around the neck. I use them on a big middleweight hunter, not a cob or true heavy horse.

Don't bother with the Amigo Mio, they slip big time.

I had never heard of the Big Horse Shop. I need a rug that fits a clyde x ID who is really broad through the shoulder.

Premier equine, my oh calls them tent rugs lol!

Premier Equine. Only rug I've seen as deep is my (old) Fal. I've got (Rambo,rhino or amigo) & they're not as deep and neither are masta,shires,jhl,wbeeta ime.

I alwys use Mark Todd. they have the depth AND the width, if you see what I mean.

You won't beat a PE for depth, which is one of the reasons I love them

These rugs are great for the big built horses

I also use the Shires as I find they have plenty of neck and chest on them
