premier equine rugs big or small?

[kez1001]

so looking to buy a rug for new boy this winter and looked at the premier equine one that has the liners and wondered if anyone had tried them and how the sizing came up?

my boy is in a 6ft3 rhino at the moment but its too small, a wee bit of his bum hangs out! i had a duo for my mare but it fell to bits apparently this was not uncommon. had also looked at the rambo optimo but all the reviews seem rubbish? any thoughts?

thanks for thoughts

I find Rhino come up small 6 ft 6 in premier equine is the same as my 6ft 9 Amigo. Thay are generous but lovely and deep for winter and neck comes to ears and is elasticated so no draughts. I have just ordered 6ft 3 premier equine for new horse that I bought new medium weight rambo in 6ft6.

I now have 2 Premier Equine Rugs. They really are the business, came up the right size for mine too.

I had the Premier Equine Trio for my mare, not massively impressed by the quality and when she outgrew it (6'3) I changed to Weatherbeeta (6'6) which is much better quality, cheaper (!) and still got the liners. A few others on the yard have PE too and after a season or so the clips start breaking and the stitching on the velcro starts to go.

Personally I like them and find they are pretty much true to size. I have ones more than 3 years old, still going strong with no washing or reproofing.

Um, well I bought one of their sweet itch/hoody rugs last year in 6'3" and it fitted fine; however this year I bought the same size and it came up rather smaller, more like a 6', but I've not bought any of their other rugs apart from the sweet itch, so sorry not really possible to say.
