Rambo Sweet Itch Hoody

[wildandwoolly]

I've just bought one of these rugs and it fits really well apart from the ear-holes which seem to be a little on the snug side and the top strap of the neck cover which is too tight. (Pone is a big chunky Arab).

It is a lovely rug but the next size up will be far too big so I'm wondering whether I should return it and try another make, or, as it fits so well otherwise, just customise it by making the ear-holes a bit bigger and fiddle about with the neck strap.

Has anyone else had a similar problem with this type of rug?

Thank you for reading and hope someone can advise.

I've found the Premier Equine hoody fits better than the Rambo, cheaper too.

Love the rambo, have had two in 6 years and horse lives in it through the summer. Never had a problem with the fit myself. The top fastening is elasticated, couldn't you extend them?

Same problem with my horse's ears but the top strap on mine is too loose! I just fold the top of the neck behind his ears. It leaves his neck bare for a few inches but the neck cover stays up.

Ditto Planete I have one for all 3 of mine and not one of them the ears stay on but I find it doesn't matter as the neck cover stays up.

I've got the premier equine version, horse won't keep ears in and I can't do top two straps up but neck stays up anyway. Also had to get belly straps lengthened as he's a chunky monkey. Love the rug though xx

I use this rug, find its great but I don't use ears or top strap just fold it back like some other people do as the ear things always come out and she never has rubbed and had a problem. I would try without and see how u go

i used the rambo one for my haflinger and she wont keep it ober her ears. the only trouble i find is the neck is too long for her but otherwise fits well.
