They seem to be made by Weatherbeeta. Not the cheapest, but then I guess you'd pay a premium for the design, and then being new. I've always wondered if Joules would get into doing rugs, I remember they did a saddle cloth a while back, but not sure what else they've done? I think Joules bandages would sell well...

Very nice, now I'm thinking do i need a new rug ,which of course i don't but then again i don't have a spotty one mmmm.

They are very very wrong. Imagine a field full of horses in these rugs - how long before the Environmental Health Officers arrive to quarantine for horsepox!

Love Joules stuff but don't think it transfers v well to horse gear...but then i am boring and traditional and think horse stuff should all be in plain and sensible colours!

But what weight is it? I know they say it's inbetweener but what do they mean by that. Weatherbeeta already do a medium light (100gsm fill) is this the same or heavier?

I think they're just going to be useless fashioney type rugs - they may look funky but the weights of them are funny (neither lite / nor medium ) and it will be interesting to see how they stand up to actual daily wear.

Yep I noticed there was no weight given. One person's "in between" is not another's!

I like the look of them, but I'm unsure of how the quality would fair, if i'm spending that much on a rug I'd rather buy what I know is of good quality. Polka dot, cow print.... wonder what will be next, zebra print!

 

[jcberry]

love them ... but still dont beat the cow print

 

[hellybelly6]

Dont like, but would consider cow print or zebra print for my grey horse for a laugh.

They're definitely made by Weatherbeeta as that's who has made the dog rug they've done this season. The quality is exactly the same as any normal Weatherbeeta rug from what I've seen of the dog rug

600D for £70? Eh...MASSIVE NO. If you want a fashion rug, Amigos are great prices for the same spec but their leakage issues show that buying this rug as a daily rug would IMHO lead to a hell of a lot of frustration.
