I was just wondering as he has trashed last years stable rug and I have been waiting to get a good deal on a new one but can't find anything his size that fits the bill. He does however have a mountain or t/o rugs, the one in question is quite light in weight although is quilted (The inside is the same as a stable rug) but the outside is like a T/O rug (ie. more stiff/robust).
 
Defo - use whatever you have. The T/O one will stay drier (not wet stains etc) plus you don;t have to change his rug when you put him out ;-)
 
yes and you can go one further as lots of us do on here and just use one rug if its still waterproof - no need to change at all
 
Yes, definitely!

Stable rugs are becoming a thing of the past. Only difference is the absorbent outer. Save time & your horse getting grumpy when you take off his cosy rug & replace it with a cold one.

Also halves cleaning costs each year! :)
 
I don't think it's acceptable. I have a rug for each day of the year and the rest valeted and perfumed (Britney Spears) ready for it's next use a year later.

Can't Beeelieeeve you use the same rug more than once :o

eeeewwwwww!!!!!!!

:D
 
Do any of you remember the very first turn out/stable rug? It had a unique arrangment of a surcingale that had another strap similar to a standing martingale,this then clipped onto the cheast fastening.It was very expensive,and wondered if it was still in manufacter. Lasted almost forever and NEVER moved ,no leg straps either.
 
Can;t remember there being anything between jute rugs, New Zealands & the X surcingle rugs we have now.

I do however remember the first Weatherbeetas etc being hugely expensive. I think they were about £90 all those years ago.
 
Of course you can't!! They are called T/O rugs for a reason! :p

Lol sorry, I do - in fact the only reason I have stable rugs is to use as extra layers in the winter!

I think even then it was more towards the 200 mark, but worth it ,promise.
