Not ok Rambo Amigo Mio Fly Rug

I agree with Littlemissmoneypenny - because the Mio Fly rug is made from a very soft material, it would bobble very easily unless the velcro bits are done up (closed up) when the rug is not in use. The velcro will catch on any part of the rug.

I've tried loads of different fly rugs in the past, and this one definitely fits my horse better than any of the others. It's a shame it didn't fit yours nicely, and that you're now in the position of being forced to pay the P&P for a rug that you're unhappy with. It would have been nice of them to also refund the postage to you, as a gesture of goodwill!
 
I don't rate their products at all now, simply as they offer the lowest form of customer mis-service possible..and I feel the items are being made cheaper /or of poorer quality IMO. I returned a fly mask that virtually dissolved on its first wear! pretty much looked like it had been eaten by moths weilding machine guns and then put thru a mincer..twice and had an allergy to horses. not the horse to blame & not its first mask, I'd simply treated her to a new one so a youngster could wear hers..I'd rather stand out fly swatting all day than spend that amount daily for 4 horses..I'm still awaiting a reply 2 years later! I'm over the moon about this and am recommending them to everyone..for the Olympic caber tossing & javelin chucking!

Slinky - which of the PR rugs would you recommend (the website seems to have three flyrugs)- and are they a good fit for your typical broader Section D type? I often have problems with rugs as they are too tight across his shoulders.

They are great rugs for those with bigger chests/shoulders - I have a cob and WB who are both blessed in the shoulder/chest depts:D

As to which one that depends on your own preference - I personally don't use combo type rugs as they rub manes out:)

I also have a rug cleaning business and the PE flyrugs of all types wash really well (in fact all their rugs wash well and I rarely have one to repair unlike other makes;))
 
i recently got an amigo mio fly rug, and have been very pleased with it.

i did however order a size bigger than she normally wears, as the amigos come up small. this may be why some of you are experiencing stress rips around the fastenings?

i make sure that the velcro straps are completely closed when fastened and when taking the rug off so they don't snag.

she's worn it every day for weeks now, and its standing up to gorse bushes pretty well too....
 
I can't argue with the fit-it fitted my boy really well and I think the pattern the rug is cut to is well-shaped for a horse BUT it is the quality of the manufacture that is poor. It wasn't the fit that made it disintegrate,it's the quality. I have Rambos and rhinos and an amigo and they're all better quality but unfortunately,in seeking to establish an economy line,they have gone too far in their cost/corner cutting. The product is not fit for purpose in what seems to be(from this small sample of posters) the majority of cases.
 
I have used these rugs for several years on several horses and find them to be a better fit for my horses as they dont pull back as much getting tight round shoulders etc. Mostly they last for 2 or 3 years which I think is very acceptable given how cheap they are. Also because the material is lighter the horses do not get so hot in them in very hot weather.
 
Sorry to buck the trend but I have one and so far am very pleased with it - however I do agree with the poster that said buy a size up so less strain on the fastenings.

I like this rug because of the soft material - other fly rugs in the same price range seemed to be very 'plasticy' and stiff, whereas this ones moulds to the horses shape better.
 
In my opinion the rug doesn't look like a good fit on your horse and looks too tight so not surprised it is falling apart as it is a cheap fly rug which doesn't fit!

Also I'm sure most retailers don;t refund p+p if you return at item. I would check their policies though.

Not a good situation to be in and hopefully you get it resolved soon
