I freely admit it - this is a question arising from the one about turnout/stable rugs.
Just wondering what people prefer on their rugs - leg straps or fillet strings?
I ask because I'm thinking of taking the leg straps off all the rugs that my oldie wears and replacing with fillet strings instead as he has been known to get caught up in non-elastic leg straps when trying to get up after a sit-down. The only downside that I can see is that when he does have a spot of bother if I'm using a fillet string is that the rugs sometimes twist at the back, not so bad as to be hanging off sideways, but I think that is better than getting caught up in a leg strap.
