Turnout Rug Recommendations

[terrierliz]

I need to buy a new medium weight turnout, any recommendations or otherwise greatly appreciated
Thanks

 

[Forget_Me_Not]

I adore my amigo!!

 

[eekmon]

Wetherbeeta all the way, whatever weight

 

[natz]

Anything from the Horseware Ireland family!!!!
I really like the 'wugs' (available in medium weight, with a higher cut neck) or the Amigos are cheaper and still ace quality!!

I like my Mark Todd, my last pony had one of them as well and it was really good. As posted above Amigos are meant to be good. I'm also impressed with my new heavyweight Rhino Plus turnout, I wouldn't hesitate to buy the mediumweight if I needed a new one.

Rhino, Rhino, Rhino........

amigo fab rugs very hard wearing excellent value will be replacing all mine with these as they wear out

I like my weatherbeeta too, especially the takas. I bought a cheap rhinegold mw and was suprised by how well it fits and seems to be well made. Time will tell though!

Weatherbeeta landa - a lovely mw turnout with extra large tail flap and leaves my mares mane lovely and silky. Super value.
Also bought a rhinegold thor off ebay and surprised what good quality it was for cheapo rug.

I think your horses shape plays the biggest part though!

Rambo - but if my girl had a chest she'd be a 38 DD

RAMBO RAMBO RAMBO - I love rambos, i would say the medium rambo wug! money well spent

 

[JessPickle]

I like mark todd rugs and Rambo

 

[hussar]

Don't mean to hijack this thread but has anyone used Knight Rider turnout rugs - are they any good?

And my personal favourite is Rambo all the way.

 

[terrierliz]

Thanks for all your comments, sorry haven't heard of knight rider rugs - do they talk to you?

Will now go and check them all out - my boy is 15.1 welshie in 6'3" and not yet 5 so heaven knows what he will need when he's finished growing!

both mine have the mark todd MW with detachable hoods - the hoods dont rub the mane out which i find a lot of rugs with hoods (fixed or otherwise) do............

 

[Moggy in Manolos]

Have to say my bargain requisite one is great, i have a weatherbeeta stable rug which is lovely, and my shires turnout is also very good

 

[wench]

I have used Rhino, Bucas and GFS turnouts that are all really good (my horse leans over the barbed wire fence to eat the grass the other side...)

I had a loveson turnout that he shredded doing this - otherwise not a bad rug

Fal slumberdown - nice quality, rubbed his shoulders within a day

 

[miamibear]

Weatherbeeta all the way for me, they seem to fit a *ahem* larger build of horse!

Although i have found that Mastas are good for this too.

Both hardy types of rugs.

Not keen on Loveson, dont last very long and saxon just dont seem to fit right, shires seem to be too restrictive on the neck.

But i think every horse has a different shape and each rug is made differently so will fit different horses, if that makes sense!!

Weatherbeeta - any except the cheapest Landa version (which I find are fine for anything EXCEPT the worst of the winter as mine can leak whereas the others dont!). Swear by my Arion and Oricans.

 

[tashyisaudrey]

I have shires heavy weight turnout, weatherbeeta medium and lightweights, and amigo medium. They are all fantastic rugs.

 

[Chex]

My WB Landa leakes too, it is a lightweight though

 

[ecrozier]

Mark todds all the way! Just had to get a masta as an emergency measure as got new horse and had no rug for her....came up quite small and don't rate it compared to the mark todd heavyweight combos I bought this summer, they are LOVELY!

 

[benrolo]

I lve Fal rugs, but it helps when you live 3 miles from the factory and go to the sales!

 

[Macha]

Rambo Duo are fantastic, my cousin got me two in the factory second shop!
