Cult of the Chicken Rugs

[Sheep]

I've found both the combo and the lightweight in our size but sadly the lightweight only comes in green and I much prefer the blue! I'm tempted to give my boy a full clip just so I can justify getting a 200g fill

I dare you!!

One of ours is fully clipped but she's such a toasty horse she's just in a LW at the mo, other is a hairy beastie and still naked, so I reckon a few weeks yet until I can officially use them! Can't wait

Bought the chicken rug for my youngster but yesterday when I went to get him in he had such a good time in the field I could no longer see the chickens as he was totally caked in mud!!

I'dve hosed the ****** down - with his rug on!

Shires should do a whole farmyard range, with cows and sheep, maybe ducks, and pigs for the braver horses.

Little brollies would be nice too, or fish?


I'm getting carried away now......

I actually have a beautiful brolly print no fill turnout with detachable neck!

I want a duck rug, not fond of chickens ! I remember when the only turnout rug was green NZ.

I think someone should contact Shires design department for ideas for their next rug collection! We could have cute pussies, barking hounds, fairies etc....

i've got the jockey print travel boots x

 

[Windston]

I have been swaying whether to buy this or not.. I'm sold! Love it 😁

 

[HashRouge]

I wish it didn't have a neckcover is the only problem, my girl needs a new middle weight without neckcover. Her one with neckcover is lovely already!

 

[teacups]

I do like the look of these chicken rugs....but...soon they will all be caked in mud, right? People will be distraught. There is a gap in the market for a chicken rug counselling service, I reckon.

Oh goodness!

Going to have to replace entire rug wardrobe!

 

[Meowy Catkin]

LOL.

 

[Leo Walker]

Thats was my first thought too :lol:

Anyone know what the fit is like on big, chunky cobs?

 

[Penny Less]

Well design potential is enormous, pressies, baubles, fir trees etc prints for Christmas ones, Easter Bunnies, Halloween night Scream masks. I must get to the sewing machine

I've always found Shires fit chunky broad chested types really well, theres mine and another chunk on our yard that swear by shires.

I have the Fair Isle one that Derby House did for Christmas last year and I absolutely love it, still looks pretty good this year, you can still see the pattern through the mud

It missed my quote off, I meant he Rachael Kelly ones

The Shires ones def do fit cobs, mine fits really well and seems to be wearing very well

As much as I love the print, I find the RK rug a very odd fit! Plenty long and deep but slightly tighter than I would like round my warmblood mare's chest and neck :\ and she's not even particularly deep through the chest. I'd imagine you might struggle for a decent fit on a chunky cob.

 

[Windston]

Just ordered this medium weight. Yey!

 

[ElleSkywalker]

Is there a no fill combo one at all?

Good thing about having 4 horses who are all the same rug size, no guilt when buying rugs

Dammit! I'm only 5ft5 and a bit and my legs are longer than his. I def dont want long and deep! There is a definite business opportunity for someone producing horse shaped rugs with jaunty patterns!

 

[isilme]

Ha ha ha one of my girls has that rug because she has her own pet chicken! Lol

 

[SecretAgentBilly]

Just given in and bought this, my reasoning is that I do need a mw combo and buying a neck for my standard mw would just not do!

 

[Penny Less]

Well Im definitely not buying one as they are obviously too common now

 

[tashcat]

Soo glad I found this thread because everyone on my yard laughs at our rug.. but at least no one has the same

I feel like this his thread is quite dangerous - I'll probably end up buying him a whole new wardrobe - the black chicken rug is gorgeous! The umbrellas too!!

Can I add mine? Despite modelling his rug for over a year, I can never seem to get a proper photo of it! i'm not sure if he's running away or striking a catwalk pose here..

P.S I agree with some who aren't mad about the fit - I have a long in the body but slender kinda guy, and the rug is very deep on him.. its like wearing a trench coat!

Devastated, look what the ungrateful wretch has done

She's been rug safe for a year or so until this point, she's getting no more nice things now

She got it muddy as well. Wtaf!!!

I know we may have to sell her.....





I am joking! Will have to see if it's fixable but fear it may be too far gone

Selling is too good for her just shoot her!

My cob has had hers for ages and it's in as new condition! Pony just got hers when I took this pic but cob must have had hers about 6 months now.
