Rug for Spring?

[hotcrossbun13]

Hi We have recently bought our first horse who is 16.2 and a thoroughbred/hanovarian. He has been wearing a heavyweight turnout rug but I now need to change him to a lightweight, that is suitable for an additional rug underneath in case we have some chillier days. I already have a weatherbeeta Landa standard neck lightweight but would like to buy one either with a detachable neck or combo. Any recommendations please? I dont want to spend more than £70 - less if poss!

Many thanks

Mark Todd light weight? Very good in my opinion- or you could just buy a Landa neck cover for the one you already have?

Get a neck cover for the rug you have and buy a Rambo Duo Liner, 200g, will cost about £35 or so. It will clip on the back ends of the rug where the fillet string goes and fastens at the chest with velcro, for those chillier nights you mention. I use them in this way and it doesnt matter if its not with a Horseware rug, they do the job and you dont have any additional belly straps dangling which I hate and are an extra hazard where legs are concerned.

The liners come in 100, 200, 300 and 400g weights so see which one you think appropriate.

Many thanks for your suggestions. I went for the liner option which is working well. Thank you.
