Rug suggestions for narrow chested pony

[mrsbloggett]

Can anyone suggest lightweight rugs for narrow chested ponies?

Maisie used to wear a 5'9" Kingshead, but she has lost a lot of flab this year and the rug is now HUGE on her. I've always had problems with rugs being too big around the neck and pulling back on her withers. I'd rather not go for a half or full neck as she has a full mane and find these necks rub the mane away.

I'm looking for something less than £100. Suggestions gratefully recieved

I have found that weatherbeeta tend to me narrower than most rugs whereas I have found masta to be huge and the chest!!
i think a weatherbeeta lightweight rug is around £54

Narrow chested rugs ( ie the same sort that I put on foals and yearlings ) are rhino/rambo wugs and shires hug rugs.

Rhinegold rugs are very very narrow, as I found to my expense when I couldn't do it up on my welsh cob

the quality isn't the best but the lightweights are very cheap so perhaps worth it. Avoid Masta, they fit my huge-chested cob like a dream!
