Please can you advise which rugs you use when you have very playful boys in the field.
I have Amigo, Mark Todd, Rhino & weatherbeeta rugs and they have been destroyed.
My lad was wearing his brand new Amigo today & came in with a 5" tear across the back.
My friends lad joins in just as much & his rugs aren't really damaged too much but I don't know if she is just lucky or her rugs are better. I am too scared to go and splash out on yet another brand new rug for the same thing to happen.
My friend has a Bucas (slight frays in places but no tears & tail flap still attached!!)
Fal Cheiftan with detachable hood (that has been torn off, zip stitching gave way) but the actual rug only has very small tears (about the size of my little finger nail)
Fal viking (12 years old) and it has absolutely no damage at all.
Now is this because it is virtually indestructible or has she been incredibly lucky
I am so frightened to spend £300 on a new one to find that too gets wrecked & my friend has just been fortunate.
We can't separate the boys as we only have a mares & geldings winter & summer fields.
