Which rug brands would you buy? A Poll

[lillie07]

None of the ones in your poll. The only "middle of the road" rugs I would buy (and own two of!) are Mark Todd- I actually prefer the heavyweights to Fal & Horseware

 

[ISHmad]

We only use FAL rugs on our horses so no help at all with your poll I'm afraid.

You won't have a problem with Premier Equine, they were recruiting at BETA, they are after shop space (so didn't like us!)

I wouldn't touch Masta (or Shires for that matter) with a bargepole. Mark Todd fit my horse ok (turnouts only), as do Weatherbeeta (stable rugs only). FAL fit very well (turnout only). I've not tried PE but would be happy to in future with a different horse, but the only turnouts that fit my horse round the front are the Horseware with the V front closure.
If I was buying a new wardrobe for a horse, obviously I'd go with what fits but it would be mostly Rambo (or other Horseware) and FAL. I don't "do" middle-priced rugs, it just isn't worth it.

Masta and Shires all the way, fit well, and last for years.

I work in a tack shop, and we stock mostly WBs. The majority of people want the cheapest options, and don't seem so bothered about quality

, so try to get around it by ordering cheaper versions (the landa original rather than the freestly for example). I guess it depends on whether your customers are well off or not! Plus WB are easy to deal with, usually deliver the next day and stock lots of different things so its easy to make up orders. We have some mastas but they don't really sell.

Rambo, Rhino any Horseware rug, I still have one in good working order from 1998 !!

Weatherbeeta for my boy - his wardrobe is all WB - as it fits him well and excellent value for money.

Masta fit my old horse (slightly chunkier IDx) well so she always had Masta rugs, but they rub a bit on my ISH - strange that.

I would like some Horseware or FAL rugs but they are not within my budget at the moment! Haven't had any personal experience but they seem very popular
