Best waffle cooler

[BeckyD]

As Ronnie is coming home on Friday I am going to treat him to a new rug (probably justified as Christmas present but you'd be amazed how many rugs I haven't even bothered to justify

)

Please would people let me have their recommendations? I have a chunky TB with massive shoulders. Preferably no pink or purple in sight!

Try Premier Equine, I bought one from them and it is really nice. The sizes are good as well, they dont run up small.

My PE waffle shrunk in the wash thou

They're not waffle rugs but I don't think anything can beat a genuine Thermatex (NOT the Colin Cook Thermalux). They come up quite big so mine use a size smaller than their normal rugs. The Aerborn Insulux are nice summer coolers.

I actually picked up a royston one cheaply at a show and it's been great.

I have a slight problem with my Premier Equine cotton sheet - it's too small round the neck, so I'm worried the waffle one will be the same. He has big shoulders and the top front do-up is too high - Ronnie can't put his neck down.

I would recommend the Mark Todd Coolex rugs, but for the price I am really p*ssed off that mine has totally rusty clips and the buckles are also oxidising (cheap plated buckles and even cheaper hardware on the belly straps!)

£80 rug and they cannot pay the extra for stainless steel hardware is disgusting.

I was looking at Royston ones but have never had Royston products before. Glad to hear yours is good.

Goodness that's terrible - I really rate Mark Todd stuff too. I have a coolex neck rug which I use with my Thermalite rug, which is fantastic. I'm looking for something a little lighter than that but thicker than a fleece - hence the waffle. My previous mare had a waffle rug and it was in constant use! My Lansdowne Thermalite is special occasions only
