Newmarket/Whitney/Gold Stripe Blankets

[lucemoose]

Where can I get one, or two? Will someone be selling them at Olympia or would I be chancing it? Ive seen them in the shires catalogue but wont pay out for 'shires' quality blankets, but would if they were the real deal.. mmm so warm and classy!

I have the Rambo version in the blue stripe, its a great rug - have the exercise sheet of it to they are worth the money!!

 

[lucemoose]

ooh Ill head to eBay now!

Ive got that gorgeous rambo rug too mm but really want the old school blankets, can keep me warm too in the car or trailer!

I thought I was the only person in the world who remembered them as Whitney blankets.........

I have the fleece Horseware version - mine is nice (but not the real thing!).

 

[Finnbob]

I have the weatherbeeta wrap around version and its really nice, I have been known to wear it myself in the car once the horse is all wrapped up in the trailer! mmm snuggly, and hairy!

Its Witney, as in the place as opposed to Whitney as in the name!
I have one which we have had for donkeys years and its lovely and warm for wrapping up in (even if a bit smelly!)

is this like the one you're after? Funnell Newmarket Rug

I've got this one (but pretty sure I didn't pay £90 for it!) and it's really nice and warm. I tend to use it on it's own late Autumn/Early Spring. Haven't washed it yet so don't know with it being wool whether it'll shrink!

Edited to say, perhaps it's this one I've got (which is a wool mix and although this one is in Euros, a bit cheaper) - without digging it out of the garage I can't quite remember LOL

Im only really after the blanket version, I remember someones horse having one as an under rug, and to throw over at shows me and the horse! I think Im an under age relic, I love white reins, drop nosebands and whitney blankets!ooo...and standings..

I just have the under blanket, which we use to throw over at shows.. got it off e bay a couple of years ago.

Also my Jack Russell has a Whitney coat and looks so cute in it.
