turnout rug

[Rocky715]

since the weather has got a bit crappy again i want to turn my horse out with a rug on for when it rains.... can anyone recommend anything lighter than the lightweight masta as he still gets warm in this...? any good simple rain sheets?

I have the amigo summer turnout and its ok..... but the horse feels kind of cold and damp underneath if its rained heavily.... I dont think he is actually wet as its not leaking, he just feels cold

I also have the amigo, You know when you wear a kagool type thing over a vest and although the rain dosen,t go through you still feel kind of damp? well thats what merlins quest is on about!!
That said in not too heavy a downpour its a great little rug, perfect for summer showery days

2nd vote for amigo - very good value light rug and never had one leak. Or if you are feeling richer go for the Rhino lightweight - never leaks and properly breathable.

Just like that.....

Premier equestrian!! The rug istelf isnt as heavy as the masta and they are incredibly waterproof, none of mine have ever leaked - a must in this crazy weather! I also have an amigo but i dont quite trust it in heavy rain......

After having weaterbeeta, amigo and rambo lightweight turnouts I finally got a Mark todd one and cannot recommend it more. Fits lovely and is really light. my horse doesn't get warm in it at all. Fantastic rug. it is the first one on the page

I have one from a small line called 'Jumper' and it is fantastic.
Very lightweight and also has a mesh lining so could go towards keeping the horse cool perhaps.
