Bl**dy Rugs!!!

[Bri]

Bought a Rhinegold combo rug at a tack sale - so it can be LW T/o
LW stable and MW t/o.
Bloody thing bloody well leaks

Girly was absolutely drenched!!!
Any suggestions of where to get cheap-ish rugs from? Im sure Ebay is more expensive than tack shops these days!

Alot of places are doing sales now as end of season/new season stocks coming in. Try www.equestrianclearance.co.uk too....

Really? I have 2 Rhinegolds (M/W and H/W) and both are fab, neither leak.

She just had the L/W bit on today - she was absolutely drenched, would have been better off not wearing it! Less than impressed - has done her rain scald no favours!

just a thought ...could you not get some waterprofer either fron a saddlery shop or even a camping shop be cheeper than buying another rug

I got a saxon light weight coz it was cheep and my horse was coming the next day so no time to shop about and so far im really pleases, stays in place like a dream, still looks new! Even though he's rolled for england! after no stop p!ssing rain he was still bone dry (well were the rug covered!)! Amigo horse ware are brillant and cheeper then the rambos etc!

I've tried using waterproofer before and although it works in light rain - when it's heavy all day rain it just doesn't seem to work. Damn shame be a fair bit cheaper then buying 2 new rugs!
