None - mine are natives, they don't get rugged unless they are clipped.
That would be a tenner down the drain, as my experience of trying to reproof jackets, let alone horse rugs, is that it doesn't work.
OP. I'm really confused. You have stated in other posts that you have been around horses for over 30 years and yet you are asking a question like this? Why don't you have a look at the adverts and spec and decide based on that. Also, you are apparently out of work and broke, but you are looking to buy another rug? Get some tent spray and rewaterproof your existing one. Cost will be under a tenner.

Worked for me! What do you think rug-cleaning companies use to reproof?
I sent mine off to be professionally reproofed - never again. It came back just as leaky as before I sent it away.
that's the thing though it was reproofed last year at a cost of about £14 and I didn't think it had been done correctly as the material went all soft and weird. But Dad suggested putting a pool of water on top of the rug when it was lying on the grass and it didn't go through the rug so i think it was proofed. I also got the other wet one done at the same time. This is the first time both have been worn since ithey were reproofed last year.Maybe try reproofing your rug if it is leaking that much?

Mine has been in a 100g combo the last couple of nights, its a really handy rug for when it gets a bit chilly..
As meatloaf would say '51 out of 52 ain't bad!' lol
I am just curious if anyone else's rug leaked.
I have been around horses for 30 years, but don't you know Fatpiggy you never stop learning with horses no matter how much you think you know, unlike some who consider themselves know it alls of course
I have used the reprooof stuff before and it wasn't effective.
Dad kindly offered to buy me a rug (I was actually looking at a lightweight with a neck as horse has a bit of stiffness and I wanted his neck warm and dry).
I didn't say I was broke - I have plenty of savings but I am careful with money. If this is going back to the saddle post then I think I am allowed to consider getting money for something that was unfit for purpose - however much this obviously irks some people.
I am glad I am not as nasty as you in my replies......
Thank you for the sensible and kind replies to my post (the 51 of you)
