Have got to clip my boy next week ( he was dripping today!) Need a new lightweight turnout rug. Don't want to spend a fortune

But have found a Pennine high lighweight and a Masta lightweight turnout both for £33 each

So which one do I get, any one have any of these rugs? Opinions please!

i havent had any experience of masta rugs, but had got a loveson l/w turnout. Nice and roomy in the chest, good fit (17hh tb x ), chest straps to adjust to wider or narrower horse, doesnt rub - but the outer isnt that tough.

Pennine!! You can't put your poor horse in a Masta!! I think that I may have a high neck Pennine (came with the big fella and label has fallen off) - it's a good rug!

Are Mastas that bad then? I usually buy Weatherbeetas which are fab! Plus it was in 'lemon check'

I have ALWAYS had problems with Masta's, so personally YES! I bought a new LW one off ebay last year for B and even though she only wore it for a about a month in the spring and about 2 months in the autumn last year, it rubbed the living daylights out of her shoulders (sold it pronto!) Where I used to work, they bought in millions of them - TO's and fly rugs. It doesn't seem to matter what type/shape of horse they are on, they slip, rub and tear easily. However, I think that their Stable rugs and fleeces are lovely - most odd!

Will probably get shot down for this, but hey ho!
