Can anyone recommend me a Lightweight Cheap and cheerful rug ?....

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

As title really .

Looking to put my 3 year old out for as much as possible over the next month or two .

She only really has a medium weight full neck rug and its still to warm for that yet .

Something that will fit well, not make her sweat up (ie the shiney type/nylon lining ?? ) Something with cotton lining .

And something that doesn't cost the earth

Have you looked on equestrian clearance's website? I ordered a stable rung from them today and I'm sure they had quite few different lightweight turnouts at good prices.

rugs direct are pretty good

Derby House have a few in their outlet area

Just brought a LW Saxon TO for my youngster, was on offer from Countrywide stores - A bargain for £17.00!!

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Derby house is out of stock on them

Thanks folks , Just going to have a look at the other suggestions

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

Tried a few of the above and they seem to have alot if... not all of the 6ft6 sizes out of stock

Another vote for Saxon, they fit my (chunky) gelding well and have defied his attempts to remove/destroy it over the last few years

Any good with a sewing machine?

I just buy any weight of rug (make it easier to find cheap!) and take the filling out. Dead eay to do - inpick one edge between the surcingles, on the inside, rip all the filling out. Stitch up. Amd spend 4hrs trying to get all the bits of fluff off the carpet.

Have you tried Homstead in Tyrella. They always have cheap rugs. Although you tend to get the bargains out of season. I got a lightweight outdoor rug in mid winter for £30.

Another vote for Saxon. I bought mine recently on special offer at Countrywide. The store can order in the size you want if they dont have it in stock

If they had a website I would order one ...Its a right jaunt down travel wise .

To the above poster .... I'd make a hash of that and destroy a good rug

I got a lovely 'Spring Turn-Out' for Mist outta Holmestead for $45 and it's a funky purple colour

Totally breathable and really well fitting.

Holmestead do have a website

Although, not all their rugs are online. If you phone them they're always a great help

 

[Colleen_Miss_Tom]

I can never find their website

I see the one you got for Misty ..... What is the inside lining ? I need the cotton type as the other linings make madam sweat .

Pre-equestrian or cybercheckout on Ebay do good bargin rugs usually Weatherbeeta and Amigo.
My pony had a Saxon turnout lovely rug, great value lasted 8 years.

I've just bought a musta (??) lw zing turn out rug for my cob, 6' 6" from Mole Valley farmers for £25. Think they've stopped doing them now though so you'd have to see if your local store had one in stock

 

[Cyberchick]

I would say Cybercheckout. www.cybercheckout.co.uk they have a good range or Horseware Ireland Amigo, Rhino and Rambo
