I know it's summer now but this is the time of year I have a bit of cash spare so may as well get rugs in now! So please recommend a stable rug!
 
Rhino outer one and a fulll neck rambo duvet underneath - toasty!

Premier equine do a fab full neck stable rug - you'd probably have to phone them for a heavier weight as they only have lighter stuff on their website just now. Alternatively, if you're feeling very rich, I love the FAL full neck rug.....

I have a Mark Todd stable rug that you can put a full neck on. Expensive but well worth the investment I've had it 4 years and it hasn't got thinner or ripped like most of them have.
 
I am really surprised that so many people go for full neck rugs. The only one of my rugs that has a neck, is the Boett that she wears during mozzie season. In the winter my horse, who is a TB and has a very high trace clip, would be hot and uncomfortable with a full neck rug.
 
all my heavy rugs have necks

the MWs all have either a high neck or detachable full neck and the summer ones have detachable necks (rarely used tho!
 
i have a mark todd under rug with neck that is 250g.
it has full fastenings so can be used as a 'proper' rug but its just much cheaper as itsnt fancily finished.
i them used an amigo LW stable rug on top to make a 400g heavyweight
i found this worked really well, and was a more cost effective way, as now i have LW, MW and HW options, for all year round, with just two rugs

the amigo is fab, washes really nicely in the machine

John Whitaker 'Lactic' stable rug is far far away the best rug I have ever bought for my large IDxTB. It was about £70-80 and is massively better made and better fit than anything else, even has adjustable neck. If your horse has big shoulders, its great and never rubs and is VV smart and washes up like new. You can prob get one like mine cheap too as they have since updated the design but I prefer the old design - oh and the outer shell is waterproof and ripstop too so rug trashers are defeated!
 
horsewear insulator - been around for years, cheap, simple yet seem to last ages and ages.

Also someone is selling them on ebay for £15 + £2.99 p & p
