Rugs Dilemma - Broad shouldered horses?!

[ali87uk]

Hi,
I am having probs finding rugs to fit my Haffy. She drives so has broad shoulders and I find many rugs either I have to do up loose otherwise they're really tight when she grazes but then they don't fit well. They also rub a lot but she does have a vest to prevent this.
Are any makes of rug better than others for this problem!? My Masta rug atm is lovely but it just doesn't fit properly!!!
Thanks :0)

Have you tried Mark Todd rugs,they fit my warmblood well and don't rub. I find if you do the rugs up too loose they can slip back and then rub even more.

We're having this problem with our shirexcob, going to buy him a premier equine rug tomorrow as meant to be a good fit for bigger horses. Also look on the big horse shop website xx

I buy Saxons for my TBX, he's very broad across the back and shoulders and they fit him really nicely.

I've found it to be very useful with my broad boy!

For turnout rugs - weatherbeeta - just make sure you get the ones with the gussets / pleats over the front legs - they fit great on my broad chested fell.

Any of the Fals - they are the only ones that don't rub my haffy and section d both of whom have biiiiiig shoulders!

My friend had a heavyweight cob & she used premier equine, fitted her beautifully. I love premier equine rugs too
