I'm trying to find a medium weight turnout for my boy - I want it to have a full neck and pref be 1200 denier because he's a serial ripper. Horseware rugs fit him nicely, weatherbeeta drown him at the front. He's a fairly well built TB. I have a budget of up to a hundred, could stretch but only for a really wonderful rug!
Any suggestions of rugs or shops? My wind is spinning with options!
 
I recently bought an Amigo Hero Plus medium t/o for my boy- cost me about £69 from Old Mill saddlery. It comes with a detachable neck cover. The normal one without the neck is about £55. It fits him nicely- he's an ISH (3/4 ID 1/4 TB) but is more of a tb shape.
 
Premier Equine ones are 1600 denier so really sturdy. You may struggle to get one for under £100 but they aren't heaps over that.

Swish ones are cheaper, can't remember how much their detachable neck ones are, but prob about £70. Think they are 1200 d.

BTW, I don't like the fit of Masta's for TB's - too big in chest.
 
Ooh thanks guys. He's ripped his Hero hence my search, it fitted nicely but hoping for something that will stand up to a bit more wear and tear. That Swish one ticks all my boxes i think and a bit of a bargain.

Agree re Mastas - made for chunkier souls :)
 
Just re sizing, my TB who is chunky at the front is perfect in WBs but I find Amigos and Mark Todds snug round the shoulders so sounds like they would suit yours.

Premier equine I found far too deep for a narrower horse, came down below his knees and hocks while still being too tight round the shoulders.
