As title says, are they actually worth buying? They have an offer on two for £50. I'm after a light weight turn out.
 
mixed, I did buy 2 who's lining went really quickly, but another 2 light weights are still going after 2 years, and were are bargain. I would go for it
delivery is varied! some within a few days, others have been weeks
 
I just bought a fly rug from them for one of my mini's it's a terrible fit, fit's in the length but is actually on the floor depth wise. I'd like to see the 3ft 9 pony who's about 11 hands that it was designed to fit!
 
What are their fit like? My girl is a rather large girlie takes 6'9 rugs and is rather curvy.

Phone them to make sure they actually ave them in stock. If not you could be in for a looooooong wait.
 
Someone whose horse is in the same field as mine bought a lightweight and it doesn't fit particularly well. Very big around the neck and he's a strapping cob. Took a long time to arrive I believe. I've ordered other stuff from them and had to wait a long time for delivery. I hate it when companies take your money and items aren't in stock.
 
Exactly that, and that is why I no longer buy from them. If it says in stock on your website and you take my money, I expect it to arrive. DH seem to have forgotten that's how it's supposed to work. The last two times I waited weeks, no rug and no communication.
 
I have bought their fly rugs regularly for a few years now, and always thought they were excellent for the price. The quality did deteriorate a couple of years ago, in the fabric used for the edging and the fastenings, but the one I saw recently looked better. It was a 5'9" one in a 6'6" bag though :(
 
I got their lightweight turnout last year, it's a navy one with a thicker weave, maybe 1000D. Survived one vicious sharp-toothed fieldmate that ripped everything else. It fitted my middleweight nicely, much better fit than an amigo. More like a weatherbeeta fit. Only downside is it's not entirely waterproof :( I have to reproof it regularly and even then it leaks in a heavy downpour. But then I tend to bring my horse in if it's really heavy rain anyway. Worth at least £25. I've never had a problem with DH deliveries, maybe my area is served better than others?
 
I just bought the lightweight combo from then, it fits my tb perfectly and he stayed perfectly dry in the heavy rain we had all day yesterday :-) it arrived 2 days after payment, and as it was only £30 including postage I'm very happy!
 
I have a light weight turnout and stable and have had a heavy weight turnout all have been good quality and fitter an oddly shaped wb well.
Have bought other things from them too and never had a problem with stock or delivery always arrived in a few days and i hace returned for a refund with no trouble so not every vado story should be taken to heart. Moat companies have been shoddy at one point even so called top named ones .
 
I've had a couple of rugs from them which arrived on time. I wouldn't have liked to pay full price for them but for £25 they are good and fit my pony well. The clips are a bit cheapo but he's had one rug on all winter no problems and it hasn't leaked.
