This is just a personal recommendation for a good tough turnout that miraculously seems to have withstood the ultimate test of my serial rug ripper! I have four horses, one of which is an absolute devil for ripping rugs and the underlying flesh from the backs of the other three - you might well ask why I don't separate him from his pals, but despite the battle scars they all love him and the herd falls apart without him there to keep order!
I bought these rugs purely because they were 1200d and greatly reduced! All of the other cheapies were only 600d which end up like net curtains after an hour or so!

I can honestly say that apart from a few nicks in the fabric of the backsides that these rugs are as tough as old boots. They are very well made, the shoulder pleats are on the shoulders rather than hanging off the withers as with so many rugs and they are lovely and deep - 6'6 & 6'9 is about 4" above the knee on a 16.2 TB. The 7'0 is extraordinarily deep on a TB - I would say that it resembles a marquee or yurt rather than a tent but it keep his knees clean!
And before anyone jumps on my case - I don't work for Rocky Rugs or have any connections etc with the company - I'd actually never heard of them before I bought these. It's just a genuine recommendation aimed at those who like me were fed up of the sound of ripping 'ripstop' fabric and the never ending purchase and repair of turnout rugs!
