Help me shop! Medium weight turnout

[casinosolo]

Anyone fancy helping me shop for a medium turnout? I am on a very limited budget of up to 60/70 quid at a push.

Has anyone ever bought one of these:

I bought a medium weight shires last week for £39.95 from Hertford Horse Bits. So well within your budget

Thanks for the tip! Are Shires good quality in general for the price?

I'd be inclined to shop for a 1000D rug rather than 600D

I would only say try and find something with more than 600d as they are easy to rip and tend to leak easier. Try hope valley saddlery they have some bargains usually. But yes shires are good value for money. Or try ruggles- lots of posts on here have recommended and i think they are with in your budget

Absolutely in my opinion!
I have them for both mine and have never had any problems.

Thanks a lot everyone! i didn't even think about the denier; will try and find a higher one but think I might struggle within my budget. Will check out Hope Valley

Hope Valley and Derby House have some rugs in sale in limited sizes. I agree about going for higher denier outer. Happy shopping.

I've used Horseware and Bucas rugs for years, but I got a LW Shires Stormbreaker for the TB that I was given as I needed a rug pronto and it was on sale at my local tack shop. I was actually very pleased with it and recently I have bought a couple of Shires Typhoons (LW and 300g) and they are actually really nice rugs.
