Slumberdown Rugs Discontinued?

[DougalJ]

Hi - has anyone heard or been told that Slumberdown have discontinued their rug range? This make fits my 17.2 well and I was told by my local saddlery that they are not making them anymore. She did mutter that another equestrian company had taken them over but was unsure who it was? Their website doesnt mention anything.

yeah they have been discontinued, but slumberdown is the company that makes FAL rugs so maybe you could try them?

Slumberdown have been discontinued in favour of the new Chieftain rugs (all made by FAL)

 

[DougalJ]

Thanks for that. I'll check out the Chieftain range. Have used Fal Pro before on him and the fit is not quite the same. x

Yep, it's true, a saddlery not too far from us is buying factory end of lines from slumberdown so if you're looking for anything in particular she might be able to help - they're in scotland but could easily post them.

If you're looking for a rug to fit the bigger horse, then I can't recommend Premiere Equine Rugs highly enough. Inexpensive, and excellent value for money.

Thats intersting - Im looking for a 7ft middleweight, no neck to be ready for this autumn. If you have a contact tel or email then Ill enquire. Have heard that Premier Equine is also v good but the last time I looked on their website there were not middleweights avaiable. Thanks for your help guys!

No probs, I also use Premier Equine rugs though and they are fab - they would be worth phoning as although their website is changed to the seasons they most probably have rugs in stock. I can't find the phone number for the shop but if you look at www.thewholehorse.co.uk there is a number on there.

Inexpensive?!?! Value for money for sure, and roomy, but my eyes would water when I spent £180 for each turnout.

They were a bit less pricey in 2008 to be fair.
