Can anyone recommend a no-fill, turn-out combo rug with quick release chest straps and a neck that hasn't got fiddly buckles? Arthritis and an impatient horse are making rug changes such a chore!

I love P's Amigo - it isn't a buckle per se, but it could be a fiddly fastening if you do have arthritis? Let me see if I can find a picture of the front ....

Thank you Faracat. It looks good but no leg straps! Is this safe for a turnout rug? My horse is a keen roller and I worry about him getting into bother and ripping the rug to pieces in the process
And thank you Nativepony lover but don't worry about trying to get a photo of the front as this rug isn't a combo - the neck comes separately which I don't want. Thank you though

Oh, yes so it is! Must have my un-observant head on today ... Hopefully someone will come along with an actually helpful suggestion for you, unlike mine!

The Highlander has leg straps. http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Shires-Hi...Horse_Wear_Equipment&var=&hash=item3cd18b545d
I have had rugs will fillet strings blow off in high winds, so I do put rugs with leg straps on when it's very windy. I do love Horseware rugs though and they don't have leg straps, but they stay put in 'normal' weather.

Mark todd does pony rugs with leg straps, clips at front, combo neck. Not sure what their horse rugs are like.

I've got the medium weigh horse combo one, which I love but it does have 2 buckles on the neck part, which might be fiddly if you have arthritis?

Probably too expensive for me. Until I win the lottery, that is

I help with a friend's horse whose rug has neck buckles. They make me swear. Horribly. My hands are just not very mobile in the cold

Thanks for this suggestion. I couldn't quite make out if it has buckles on the neck so I have emailed them for that info. Am trying to avoid fiddly fastenings as have arthritis in my hands
