HOW MUCH????

[Herpesas]

So, the other day I discovered that Hoss's show sheet has been eatened by the pesky whiskered critters over the winter! Oh well, I think, it was probably about time he had a new one anyway. Off I trot to the local saddlers and then, having had no success, I spend hours trawling the web.

I want a 6'9" navy cotton sheet - how hard could that be, I hear you ask. Well, turns out it's not difficult at all if you're prepared to pay £30-£70!!!!!!! When did they get so expensive? You can get l/w turnouts and stable rugs for cheaper than that!

So now I'm hacked off and don't know what to do! Can't have the boy turning up in a rug that's more holes than rug but what to do?

No, sorry, crossed posts!

What colour is excalibur?? why can't they just use the actual names of colours???

 

[Sugar_and_Spice]

It's grey.

 

[competitiondiva]

oh sorry just read again, you wanted a navy one?!? excalibur I'm sure is a greyish colour, here's a link to another amigo rug in 'excalibur' http://www.theequinewarehouse.ie/50...r-the-horse-rugs-winter-turnout-medium-weight it's a different rug, but should be the same colour? if in doubt call the saddlery!!

 

[Herpesas]

Yeah, a navy one. I thought it would be fairly easy to find one but it seems it would be easier to find a magenta one with lime green stripes and flurescent orange stars than something as normal as navy!

I'll end up making one at this rate!

Are there no tack sales near you? I picked up 2 lovely cotton sheets for £10 at the end of last year. They don't match but none of my stuff does!

 

[Herpesas]

I've been to 5 local stores now and, even in the sales they're nearly £30 AND the most hideous shades of puce or pink or only big enough to cover 1/4 of my horse.

http://www.equestrianclearance.com/weatherbeeta/weatherbeeta_cotton_show_summer_sheet/index.html - This one is on sale at the moment? It says navy/white/red, not sure where the red bit is though!

 

[LauraWheeler]

^^^^^^
If you click more images you can see the navy, red, white one. The red is on the belly straps, chest straps, along the back and round the edge.

I bought a Shires cotton sheet, navy with red edging for £15 recently (from our local tack shop). But if you Google 'Navy Cotton sheet' the same one comes up for £15.99 to buy online.

 

[Nollaig Shona]

£24.99

I just bought a jumpers horse line one from equestrian clearance the other day, less than £30 and the quality is good too.

Oh and it is navy!

Have a look at Derby house, home brand ones are nice & cheap iirc. And look for local horsey car boots. Got a lovely one for £3, admittedly 4'9, but horse sizes weren't much more.
