Fal Pro Commander or Rambo Duo?

[charlyan]

Don't want to think about winter yet

but trying to plan ahead for rugging. Looking at the two systems above as quite keen on the multiple functions and was wondering what those who've tried them think?- in terms of quality, ease of use, etc. Price-wise, there's not much between them on the sites I've looked at. I haven't bought either make before (well have a summer Amigo turnout- which is great 'cept I find the surcingles are a bit on the short side compared to my other rugs- barrel-shaped Welsh cob x, sigh!)

I have a very big chunky chested horse and have found that the rambo doesn't fit ,but Fal commander does .

The Fal seems to be a more generous cut and I find it quite a bit deeper than the Rambo, if you have a cob type. I have both makes and both are super

Fal fits pickle really well and he is a big lad.

Thanks for the responses so far- My horse is a welsh x tb and broad in the chest- so far the Fal is sounding good!

I have a Fal high neck. Its quite old now but I find it doesnt fit my Welsh Cob (broad chest) well. It has an attachment bit at the front to extend the chest. Without it, its WAY too narrow (fits my narrow TB ok!) but with it it then makes it too wide!

my friend bought a fal commander last winter and it rubbed her horse he is a TB but defo not a skinny one?

Four of the horses we have have the Rambo Duo's - they're great, can't rate them highly enough.

Fal everytime, have found the horseware rugs just don't fit any of mine and the FAL fit all of them. I have had them now for about 5 years and would not buy anything else.

Hate fal rugs, dont fit my horse atall, would never buy anything else after having my rambo duo, love it.

I rate my Rambo Duo as one of my all time best purchases. My horse is quite broad and it fits him fine. I found that the Fal rugs tended to gape at the neck.
