What to do!

[Auslander]

Alf's buddy wore his new rug for the first time today. Alf wore his 3 yr old tatty one. I can tell by Alf's expression that he is extremely jealous (he's always wanted the Shires sheep print).

What on earth am I going to do!!!

Alf needs a flamingo rug imo https://www.hopevalleysaddlery.co.uk/hy-flamingo-lightweight-turnout-rug-266035.html
Or a unicorn https://www.hopevalleysaddlery.co.uk/hy-unicorn-stormx-200g-combo-turnout-rug.html

They both look very cute.

I would say to buy Alf a new patterned rug of his own, but the only nicer one i can think of is the Hedgehog one from a few years ago. Sadly the Hedgehog and Sheep patterns are very hard to find these days unless they are tiny sizes.

My boy is looking forward to wearing the Sheep rug i managed to buy him earlier in the year, but it's a medium weight so he'll have to wait till he gets clipped.

My mare dreams of the day I let her wear any sort of rug..plain or patterned....I’m a mean mummy.

NO he does NOT! He is very masculine, and he doesn't do flamingos or unicorns. One of the mares has a flamingo rug, which suits her, but is too pink for him!

He only likes the sheep one - there's something about the Fairisle effect that appeals to him.
Although they are hard to find in proper sizes, it's been brought to my attention that the owner of his sheep clad buddy has another brand new sheep rug in her possession...

I'd love one but the beast refuses to wear rugs ?‍

 

[Peregrine Falcon]

Buy a sheep rug of course! How could you be so mean, it's every horses dream to wear a rug that the owner likes to look at too. (only to destroy it a week later and no Missy, I will NOT forgive!)

I think he should request it

 

[rextherobber]

Of course he should have one! He might like the cow one, and I think that's the highlander rather than the tempest, so more room for his masculine shoulders..

 

[Roxylola]

Well, I think Alf is man enough for unicorns, flamingos or any other pink rugs that might take his fancy.
However, if Alf would like sheep, then Alf should have sheep

He's very good with his rugs. The only damage to any of his rugs is the missing front strap on the rug he's wearing in the pic - and it was his mate who ripped it off (he has lots of form for rug destroying) when Alf lent it to him for a few days

I’m not really into prints on rugs but by chance I got Robin a “nebular” one which I really love. Much more manly!

The cow is lovely, but it has buckle front straps, and I HATE them!

He tried on the flamingo rug, and thought it was a bit embarassing

 

[Roxylola]

I think it's very fetching Alf. Handsome dude like you can carry that off

 

[sky1000]

He does look a bit embarrassed in the flamingo rug but he doesn't want to hurt your feelings

It's not mine! It belongs to a livery!
I did once buy a pink turnout rug by accident. I called it the "pink rug of shame" and made him wear it when he was naughty! He wore it a lot

 

[thefarsideofthefield]

Get him one with collie dogs on ?

The sheep rug has collies on it!

 

[AShetlandBitMeOnce]

Jacob has that very same rug and he loves it, although I can’t find any photos!

I did accidentally buy a crown patterned rug and he was mortified! The look he is giving me in the below photo is him saying ‘I’m not leaving this gateway until you take this sh!t off me you cheeky mare’

 

[ycbm]

I think Alf carries off the pink flamingos really well ?

I don't recommend pink camo, this horse told me exactly what he thought of one - new on that day!

Hm well maybe he's not so much embarrassed as wondering what you have caught him doing. Certainly looks uneasy

 

[tatty_v]

I have the nebular print one, I call it his cosmic rug! Although the best I ever bought was a carrot print one, OH refused to do turnout duties if he was wearing this one ?
Whenever I go rug shopping the patterned ones are always a bit cheaper so he ends up with whatever last season’s pattern is!

 

[PapaverFollis]

This one's pretty retro... dog print one bought in 2016. Been on 3 horses.

Bought for The Beast... it does not fit her anymore!


Then Granny horse had it for a bit.


And now MrT has inherited it. This is him last year... he's not impressed. He wanted a penguin one.

If he's a very good boy I will eventually buy him a rug thats not a hand me down. ?

 

[Apercrumbie]

We all know what he needs, and it's the original: the chicken rug. I'm still livid that they didn't make it in miniatiure shetland size (and that he doesn't need a winter rug...)

The chicken print is the only other print I've ever really wanted!
THIS is the rug that I really want for the gremlins

 

[ownedbyaconnie]

still my favourite rug from Derbyhouse

 

[HollyWoozle]

Wait, wait, wait. There's a chicken print rug?! Ours aren't rugged anymore but I feel they might develop a sudden need to be rugged if I find one with chickens on!
