thought i'd posted this earlier but can't see it anywhere.

I have a new pony coming on sunday, 13hh porky cob with a lot of chest. she takes a 5ft rug. I know that amigos suit this type of build but have also seen some bargins by robinsons (requisite) and derby house. Has anyone got these, would they be a suitable fit for this build of pony and does anyone have any other budget suggestions to offer?

I don't know if this helps but I have a 14.1hh welsh cob, she's quite chunky and I wanted a combo and was looking at all sorts then I found a Saxon combo, it was only £50-ish and is perfect as it isn't too heavy
 
she's porky, yes but i want to rug, because it's how i do things. No she's not clipped. But i want her back to be dry before i put a saddle on it. Personal preference but i like to put a rug on my horses, for convenience and my peace of mind.

I like the idea of cheap, but i don't want a combo, just a standard neck as she has a lovely mane and she will be shown in the summer. And a rug that isn't too heavy sounds perfect but how are the Saxons in terms of being waterproof? Do they last well?
 
erm i have a chunkster
premier equine are FANTASTIC cant beat them and they're fab on wide ponies (www.premierequineinternational.com) plus they're selling rugs at 1/2 price atm!!

erm amigo are ok, my old welshy wasnt overly chunky tbh and his rubbed his shoulder raw although im considering getting my mare one but in the size up
