Fal TO rugs - the silver interactive thingy ones??

[S_N]

Anyone use them? What do you think of them? Would you use them on an unclipped horse going from a warmer climate to a colder one? Horse out 24/7.

Really could do with some input here - thanks guys!

They are fantastic, but V. expensive!!! One of my boarders has one & it doesn't move or rub, but MY preference is STILL for the Weethabeetas (Orican h/w or Landa m or l/w), in the freestyle shape. However I do know that others on here aren't so impressed with them so canvas some other opinions.

Here's a link to another thread which has some other ideas.

You bringing B and H out here on holiday with you?? Woo hooo!! Sorry, absolutely no help at all...

 

[S_N]

Thank you for the link!!

Well she's in a MW Rambo, with a neck cover atm (she was in a WN Landa MW, but I b*ggered it up in the washing machine at my old work and the fill has slipped

) She wintered out in the WB Landa + neck cover last year, but that was down here - It's MUCH colder in East Anglia

LMAO!!! I'd have to clip them both if I brought them out there now!!! Things are happening here atm - not sure when I'll be coming over - all will be revealed at the beginning of next week!!

Suffice to say that the good luck I asked for the other day, seems to have worked 10 fold

Plus she's MORE than worth it

I use Fal Interactive Silver. I have the 350g red one with the full neck (think its the Crusader) thats about £200. I couldn't justify or stretch to the others. My mare lives out 24/7 and is fully clipped - because she is ridden and gets very hot and hairy! I like the idea that the interactive lining holds the heat in, but then wicks it away if its gets beyond a certain level. Also, apparantly the lining works in a similar way the a magnetic rug, so benefiting circulation etc. Fal rugs are so tough, that I've never had one where the outer ever got torn (touches wood etc) so I don't worry too much about the price.
