I am hoping HHO can help!! I am in need of Fal pro ultimate detachable rugs in 6'3 and 6'6. Either Vikings or Goliaths, any body know of anyone with any stock, they will be old stock as they don't appear to be in production any more!

Would be eternally grateful if anyone can track some down!!
 
Can't see any

!! Forgot to say really would prefer new ones! Will try redrae tomorrow thanks! (I can see them on their website but not 100% they have them in stock!!)
 
dont think the new FAL s are what they used to be!! cut or quality! now owned by weatherbeeta i think? however the new amigos (horseware ireland, rambo) have upped their game and quality and cut and good price too. i have some fantastic original FAL s which owe me nothing!!
 
Ohhhh noooooo I *love* my original FALs!! I've recently ordered a Chieftain but I wanted a FAL FAL rather than a Weatherbeeta FAL. Oh well, if it's rubbish, at least I'll know what's gone wrong instead of being WFT....???????
 
Can't help with the tracking down...but have just bought my 3rd Fal rug, a Bulldog with neck cover for the old girl's (neck)arthritis. So far so good and I have had my other 2 Fals for many years and no problems at all.

BTW, the new one appears to be no different in cut or quality.
I got 10% off too!
 
Its actually loveson that bought them, but it is old stock i am after - not spending £300 on a rug that won't do the job! I have bought a couple of chieftains (although possibly slightly smaller than the viking and goliath cut, I went up to 6'6 with the 6'3 horse!) and they are very good for the money but would like to replace a couple of 10 year old rugs (which are still going strong!) as the fill has flattened now so they are not as warm as they once were.

The amigos are no where near good enough quality wise - I am not really into disposable rugs and the last amigo i got lasted weeks rather than years! The fit around the chest is the issue, one of my horses modelled for a rug photo shoot, the only ones in his size (6'3) that actually closed around his deep chest were the Fal, Rambo supreme and the Bucas. I already had plenty of fals

Fingers crossed I track some down!
 
I was at Blenheim last month and there was a huge stall selling discounted FALS, the bargains were amazing! Just been on the Blenheim site and got this number for you;

FAL c/o Hertford Horsebits

Tel. 01992 551258

worth a call.

* Addicted to FALS also*! Dont understand why they are so popular yet so bloomin hard to get hold of!
 
Thank you so much for that! They were probably a victim of their own success, the rugs lasted so long no one had to replace them very often!!!
 
Well if its any help ive got a 6'3" Goliath thats been warn for 3 weeks max and never got wet and had a fleece underneath so it is in like new condidtion
 
I've got an old Fal Pro Bulldog, years old.....my aunty used it on her horse years ago!! It's the best rug I've got!!!!!!!! The old ones are always the best!!!!!!!!
 
i have bulldogs warriors goliaths chieftans vikings taskers terriers godolphins you name it /

I thought it was loveson that bought fal out and it was worldbeeta that make the chieftans etc
