Decent HW stable rug

[LadyRascasse]

Hi guys

i need a decent HW stable rug with at least 350gms of fill, need it in 6ft3 and needs to fill a chunky ISH, so far the only rug that fits him properly in a Pessoa one, really cheap brands are out as the fit is bad but we would like it as cheap as possible. any ideas and links would be great

I'm loving the JHL rugs - tough and well made and not stupid money

I've got the Weatherbeeta Windsor Stable rug (no neck, but 400gms of fill and very warm) - fits my tbxwarmblood beautifully.

I used to have one of these, I'm sure you could find them cheaper than this though.

I loved my rhino combo stable rug, it was really hardwearing and smart. Got it in Scats for £50 which surely must have been a mistake or it was in the sale early, but not complaining.

Another vote for JHL, love my big red heavy weight stable rug by them

Premier Equine, Horseware (any type) or Weatherbeeta (if they fit). I tried Masta, Mark Todd (lovely rug but just didn't fit) and a couple of other properly cheapie type ones I can't remember, and nothing fit her like the Horseware and Weatherbeeta ones. Never tried Premier Equine, personally, but second-hand experience of using the rugs on friends' horses I ride / do tells me that they are lovely rugs.

I think the Weatherbeeta will probably be the cheapest of the three. The thing is with fit, they either fit your horse or they don't! My girl is a Rambo girl (darned expensive beast )

AGree with this. I discovered JHL rugs last winter thanks to HHO and they are great. I have a 17hh IDx who takes a 6ft9/7ft rug and they fit him well - also stand up to his best attempts to wreck them!

I like Horseware Amigo for toughness too though the fit isn't as good on my horse as JHL, and I don't think the quality is what it was either.

Another vote for JHL, have just got mine a hw t/o and stable (bright red is going to clash nicely on my bright chestnut ) to go with the 2 mw t/o that i already have. Great rugs have stood up to my horse's hippo tendencies and fit really well. Have found that they can come up a bit big, i got 6'6 which has plenty of room for a under rug if needed but isnt big on him if you know what i mean.

I would recommend the Horseware Rhino Stable Plus Heavy weight. It has an integrated neck and a toasty 370g fill. They usually retail for around the £100 mark though you can pick one up from www.trot2.com for only £89.95 with free delivery, they usually deliver the day after you order too.
