Do Gallop make 50g combo turnouts in 4’9”?

[HollyWoozle]

Sorry for the rather specific question! I saw a Gallop Trojan 50g combo turnout in a shop today (they only had one) and I thought it would be ideal for our elderly loan pony, but they only seem to make pony combos in 200g, unless I am being dense?

I can look at other brands of course, I just keep hearing good things about Gallop and I liked the look and feel of it for a lower budget.

Gallop's own website starts at 5'3" for the standard 50g combo so I would suspect not.

However they do seem to do their Trojan Xtra (high denier, much better rugs IME - I love them) in a 4'9" 100g combo, if that's any help?

As above go for the higher denier

Thank you, just wanted to check I’m not mad really.

I don't think so, I was a bit surprised by the seemingly random variation in starting sizes for their different rugs. It's never bothered me because I always want 6'6"!

I couldn't find a Gallop one when I looked, recently, their 4'9" is in the Ponie range. I bought the Weatherbeeta Comfitec Tyro Combo Turnout 50G for £50 from Aivly, but I just checked and they're out of stock for the 4'9. I'm very impressed with it - it's stood up to the torrential rain of the last couple of weeks!

Be wary of getting the Ruggles 4'9". They now put this size in their Shetland category, which changed the fit completely for my Exmoor.

Ooh this is great info, thanks @Fransurrey! I had seen the Ruggles one in the Shetland category and was sure his other rug from there didn’t use to be classified like that.

I’d seen the Weatherbeeta too and can’t find stock but think I’ll try a Shires Tempest and see how we get on.
