Just a quick one! I need to get an under rug for my 16.1hh mare - she has a massive shoulder and really struggle to get anything that fits nicely without getting too tight in the morning. The horseware range seems to be the best for her but they don't stock the underrug in our local tack shop and need to get today as she's ripped (at the shoulder!) her last one last night. They stock the Mark Todd one - anyone use it on a big shouldered horse and is it roomy??? Thanks!
 
iv got the mark todd combo under rug on my 16.1 sports horse. it fits him well around the shoulder, and hes big through the shoulder as well, the only thing is that the neck is a little tight . hes in a 6'3 probs be better in 6'6. its a really nice rug though!!!
 
Weatherbeeta all the way! They're very generous and the darts make them ideal for horses with a big shoulder. My boy is all shoulders - he has Masta & Weatherbeeta rugs. The Masta rugs are good but do tend to look quite short whereas the Weatherbeeta ones are deep enough and have plenty of room for the massive front end my lad has!!!!! I tend to stay away from Horseware as they seem quite restrictive for him.
 
Mark Todds are great on big shouldered or just plain big horses wish my local places would stock them.

Also some Masta's fit well but it's trial and error there contour stable rug fits nicely but their combo one doesn't. It depends on the model or masta rug you get.
 
Great! Thanks all! Will go and grab the MT this afternoon - if she rips this, I will cry!
