Turnout rug for a Highland pony - recommendations needed please

[Snowy Celandine]

Has anyone got any suggestions for a summer turnout rug for my 13.2 hh Highland pony please? She needs something with a nylon lining as she has very sensitive skin and nylon is the only thing that doesn't irritate it. Rug needs to be standard neck, no fill and generous in the shoulder/chest. Thank you

The only make that fit my 14.2 hipo are Horseware Amigo, he takes a 6'9! Not sure why you need a rug for summer though, is it for sweetitch/fly protection?

Thank you. Will look at the Horseware Amigo. It was on my list

She is fully clipped and feels the cold so no, not needed for sweetitch/fly protection. It will be worn at night only.

I have Amigo Hero and Amigo Mio rugs for my highland

Another for Horseware Amigo or tried an Axiom recently and was impressed with fit.

Thank you both I will look at both Amigo and Axiom. Have to confess to never having heard of Axiom but if they are generously cut they may be a good choice too

Another vote for Amigo rugs. They fit my highland very well (he's 14.2 and a chunky lad ...).

And yet another vote for Amigo rugs! My 13.2 highland has a big neck and chest and they fit well.

Thanks everyone. Will be getting an Amigo any day now if it arrives promptly

Never realised there were so many of us HiPo owners on here. I love my pony to bits.

I have to agree. After getting my first Highland I kept getting asked when I was going back onto horses and no-one believed me when I said, "Never"! After 7 years they do believe me, ha ha.
