Heavy weight rug

[RubysGold]

I bought a rug thats supposed to be heavyweight but is more of a medium weight.
So now I'm looking for a nice Heavyweight, preferably not too expensive,
Suggestions?

Mine has the Winter Buster 450g it is really warm and fit my lad really well.

Weatherbeeta make fab rugs, try Equestrian Clearance for cheaper ones!

Heavy weight rugs can literally be too heavy if you know what I mean - I've got an older Mark Todd HW which is super warm and weighs a tonne when dry, let alone wet It is also wool lined which was rubbing my mare a bit - . She actually wriggled out of it on one of the coldest and wettest days of the winter last year.
So I'm now awaiting the arrival of a Rhino plus heavyweight with a nylon lining which I hope should be a bit more comfy for her.
The Premier ones are nice rugs but don't really fit her

Of course you may be lucky and have a normal horse, not a fussy, spoilt, delicate little flower

Had a couple of turnouts from here and they were really fab, warm, waterproof and fitted really well.

If not try Surrey Equestrian JHL rugs

Weatherbeeta all the way! EC usually have some good deals on them and mine have lasted for 5/6 years and are still going strong

Horseware all the way - Rhino and Rambo HW are brilliant and last for years

I agree with ironhorse that the MT rugs can be really heavy - when i started sharing Brooklyn, she had one of the older MT rugs that weighed half a tonne. The first time i tried to put it on her (5 ft person vs nearly17hh stroppy mare), the damn thing fell backwards over me and i tipped over! Brook's owner was nearly sick, she laughed so much!
