Winter rugs - any good bargains out there????

[Dovorian]

Painfully, not a single rug in our possession fits my new horse!!!! I can already feel my credit card creaking but thought that I'd have a go at bargain hunting on the net, any suggestions please?
Thanks

You could oh so casually mention the size and see if you get any offers!... not that its advertising!

Equestrian clearance warehouse - good!

Derby house usually have decent rugs and decent prices.

Might be best not using horserugs4U...

Coupl eof places advertising in Chiltern Rider at the moment with very discounted rugs, depends where you are in the SE if they are relevant. Think one is (helpfully) called The Tack Shop, (Hillingdon), and one I've been to that has discount Shires rugs is Pednor Rugs (Chesham). The latter has a website I think.

Cannot reccomend equestrian clearance warehouse enough. I got a new wardrobe for my old boy and a new wardrobe for my new boy for cheap prices. They are brill with delivery too.

Got a lw to for £35. A hw to for £35. There are loads more bargains on there too, look in the clearance section.

You cant be too picky on colours though, i thought whats it matter it usually ends up a nice shade of brown anyway!!

Very casually noted, my last 2 boys wore 7ft and 7'3" rugs, both had huge fronts so the 'new boy', although 16.2, is a TB and it seems a massive waste of effort and money to try to get anything altered. Funny really, I had huge probs getting rugs which fitted the others well because of their size and ended up paying for more expensive rugs like Rambo! This chap needs 6'3" or 6'6" depending on cut as he has a good depth of girth, so still not totally easy!!

My 15hh takes a 6'3 or 6'6! She is a freak quite obviously!

 

[Stasha22]

My 15.1 is also in 6'3 or 6'6! I must have a freak too!

Just got one from them and its great, they deliver pretty sharpish too. Can also reccommend equestrianclearance as well, otherwise a lot of tack shops are having rug sales at the moment so it may be worth checking your local ones.

Yes I got a lovely Weatherbeeta 300 combo (in fab purple) for £45 and a lightweight T/O (also in purple) for £19.99 both from Hertfordhorsebits.co.uk

I just need a nice purple fleece (6ft if anyone knows of any) to replace his black one.

Ebay!! Have bought Rhinegold stable rugs off there and they are fine for the stable!

Also got a very nice fleece when I subscribed to H&H at Burghley!

 

[Gingernags]

I'm very wary of ebay for rugs, I see second hand rugs going for the same price as new sometimes! Madness!

I think people get carried away!

 

[paintsplat05]

definately Equestrian Clearance i got loads of cheap fleeces from there they only cost about £20!

 

[Stasha22]

Totally agree with you. For example, there was a 6'3 medium weight Rhino turnout rug (second hand, with a patch) that sold for £71 last week! You can get them brand new for £80! Madness!

Have never bought a rug off the net but generally I have found some excellent bargains by:

1. Buying secondhand, e.g. found a Rambo h/w turnout for GRO, in virtually 'as new' condition for a 100 quid! (New, about £170!)

2. Have bought several of 'last year's' ranges, where they have changed colours etc., at quite a bit off usually!

3. Got a good bargain for LBO when I bought him a Rambo Duo for £150, instead of the £200 it would have been, simply because it had been used as the 'display model'! (Have already put my name down for the Amigo t/o she currently has on display! LOL)

I get mine from eBay, Equestrian Clearance, Derby House, TDS, and almost everyone you ask on here says the Premier rugs are a fab bargain!

 

[maddielove]

i have a 6ft 3 medium weight i need rid of if you're interesed, PM me

Hi, have you looked at the weatherbeeta Saxon rugs? they're quite cheap and seem to work at keeping everything dry! My Yo uses them on the show ponies who live out 24/7, and I've not yet seen a Saxon leak. They do stable rugs as well. I think robinsons have them in stock as do derby house.

Catherine, I've got 12 2nd hand rugs currently for sale - soon to go in the Adtrader! One is 5'9, the rest are 6'0 - 6'6. Let me know if you want me to email you the list...
