hi
as the subject says which make fits best
rambo look horrendous and just dont fit the deep chest and neck
am wanting to buy lightweight outdoor and not sure which make is going to be the best fit
she is size 7 foot
 
If you dont mind the cost then FAL are great for deep necks, other than that, the friesian on our yard fits well in masta, they also do an extra deep range i believe. Also the light weight he wears is weatherbeeta and that seems ok too.
 
hi
been told fal but they are so expensive would need to save for ont of those
i do like masta but wasn't sure if they would fit as i use those on my arab mare and not good at judging whether it would fit or not as she only a 5'9
 
Mine has all FALS, and told they were the best for them - they come up bigger than some other makes too I think.
(Will PM you re the article re other post!)
 
My IDx has very big shoulders as my old section D and they were both in Fal rugs. I think they're well worth the money as they last and last and they fit chunky horses very well. Keep an eye on E-bay for second hand ones. I've had a few from there and have been very pleased with them. They last well so buying a second hand one is less of a gamble.
 
My huge shouldered and broad chested Friesian has WB rugs, and Amigo fly rugs. None of them have rubbed him. I have gone a size bigger than normal for the Amigo rugs, but the WB turnouts and stable rugs are a good fit, even giving him enough neck room (he has a huge neck like a prize bullock!).
