Help me find a rug...please!!!

Thanks guys. I've had Shires rugs in the past and not had much luck with them really plus they tend to be tight around the shoulders on the cob.
I'm leaning towards the Swish rugs as I like the big bum flaps and liner system

I've just bought a second one of these. I bought one last year for Ziggy and he has been sharing it with Alf the new boy. I really like it.
I do also love my Swish rugs though and they are so light and easy to throw on. they also seem to dry very quickly after rain.
 
Good quality fabric and well cut - but - beware!
The current / latest model of Highlander Originals and Highlander Plus (all weights) have significantly reduced adjustability at the breast fastenings.
I posted about this recently, having been caught out.
For the record, and I’m sad enough to have measured and counted up the differences between the older and current styles:
Highlander Plus USED to have both trigger clips and buckles at the chest, ten holes one inch apart on each buckle strap, with a further two metal dees, two inches apart to choose for the clips.
That’s a lot of potential adjustability, whereas the CURRENT Highlander Plus has two trigger clips, and a mere two metal dees, two inches apart, to use.
The Highlander Original USED to have two buckle straps at the chest, with seven holes one inch apart on each strap, for choice.
The NEW model Highlander Original has exactly the same amount of adjustability as the new Highlander Plus - two large trigger clips, and two metal dees, just two inches apart.
Big difference, and guess what, no longer fits my horse.
 
I always had Bucas & Rambo on my old TB,they were a great fit & well worth the price. When I lost him sadly none of the rugs fitted my connie cross, have swish turn outs on her,they're a great fit & I'm impressed with them,nice & light,keep heavy rain out & most importantly come in great colours!

Bo's new Highlander has been well tested these past couple of weeks. Very pleased with it!

Fits him lovely, nice and light to handle and he's dry as a bone underneath.

I'm loving mine too! I had one last winter and have been alternating with a Rambo Duo. I actually really prefer the cut and coverage of the Highlander.
