Combo rugs

[rcm_73]

Can anyone recommend a good heavyweight combo rug that doesn't rub your horse's mane out? I currently use a Rambo and for the second winter running my TB has half a mane. Last spring I had to practically hog her so it could grow back evenly. Considering giving up the neck rugs altogether but she's clipped and currently spends about 8 hours out a day.

I love the Rhino Plus combo.. i think its sold as a combo.. but you can remove the neck if you want to.

The fal commander - it is fantastic!

I have a fal too and it's great

New Mark Todd Combo HW is fantastic. Its as good if not better than the rest of my Fals but about 1/3 of the price.

I'll agree with the Fal too! I have used other makes but they get put aside for the Fal on a regular basis - just as well it dries so quiickly, don't know why I bother buying anything else!

Agreed, the lining on Fal rugs is very smooth and shiny. I use the Bulldog and the Terrier on my horses.

Agree, Fal all the way

Where my rug is cleaned, they sewed a section of satin across where the neck/rug meet now my Rambo doesn't rub at all.

Much cheaper than a new rug.

Weatherbeata's are great - The Arions and Oricans are the ones I use with no rubbing problems.

Rambo supreme with the detatchable neck.

Try one of the premier equine rugs they are excellent. On my horses previous rug it use to wear so I supplmented this with a neck guard (cost about a tenner) bottom line is get a rug that fits

Possibly her Rambo is a bit small, she's about 15.3/16 h and it's a 6ft rug but doesn't seem as generous as her Weatherbeetas. Where are the best places to buy mail order any of the rugs mentioned? I have tried Frogpool Manor but they are out of stuck on the particular FAL rug I asked for.

I got my Fal from www.allthebestrugs.com they are fairly decently priced from there. I found my Rhino came up small on my horse, she is usually ok with a 6'6" but had to have a 6'9" Rhino, which is now a bit droopy round her bottom! They do say to get a Fal a size down, but my horse has a 6'3" Fal and really needs a 6'6". She is a strange shape though!
