Rug help

[crackerjack]

Pony living out for a month or so in mid December so need to buy a thick night time rug.
He is
new forest x welsh mountain
Plenty of belly and very good doer.
Not really sure what to get him...any recommendations?
thank you

Is he clipped? If not I reckon a middleweight should do the job as he is a hardy type. I love my Rhino Middleweight. Never slips or leaks or rubs.

I agree on both counts, if not clipped then a middleweight should do, with a neck if necessary for a bit more warmth. And also, I have a Rhino heavyweight turnout and it's really nice! Haven't used it yet but have heard they're good, and now have removeable hoods and everything, and come in mediumweight too.

No not clipped a nice teddy bear coat at the moment

Definitely a middleweight then. As Rachel B says, get one with a neck attachment if you are worried about really windy, wet & cold weather. I reckon he'll cope!! My TB has a blanket clip, is wearing a middleweight with no neck attachment & is toastie warm - if not a little too warm - was considering going back to his lightweight last week!

I think he will be fine...just me who worries!
