Lightweight rugs

“I struggle to find fault with this rug. It fits my horse – a 16.3hh Hanoverian with high withers – like a glove, and despite daily use it’s held up brilliantly and hasn’t leaked or needed any repairs. The removable neck is a good fit and the rubber-covered fillet string is easy to wipe clean. The cross-surcingle belly straps do up through the inside of the rug, and kept it from sliding around, even after a good rolling session.”

“I really like the fit and style of this rug. It kept him dry even in heavy rain. The lining is lovely and silky, and his coat looked clean and shiny when I took the rug off.”

“The rug fitted well on my TB X, as well as a cob type. It has kept him completely dry, even in prolonged, heavy rain. Despite his acrobatics in the field, it rights itself easily, and still looks smart after several washes and many months of regular use.”

“This rug was a great fit and hasn’t rubbed anywhere. The surcingles fasten at both ends to the underneath of the rug, which stops the material pulling tight, and the front overlaps so it didn’t gape, even after lots of use.”

“This rug kept my horse dry even in torrential rain and the elastic in the surcingles gave a close, comfortable fit. The sizing was bigger than I expected, so I would recommend using the sizing chart carefully.”

“This rug was true to size and didn’t slip or move about, it was very light and stayed waterproof. The clips were easy and adjustable for a good fit. I didn’t like the material very much, though, as it felt quite crinkly and noisy”

“The rug was an excellent fit for my bigger horse. It leaked at the tail flap at first, which I was warned could happen until the stitching swells. It didn’t leak again, though, and has performed well and dried quickly.”

“This rug was quite high at the chest and neck, so was a good fit for my fine-boned horse. It didn’t leak, but did rip a bit from games with his field mates, so I’d prefer a tougher material for the price.”

“This rug was a very good fit for my horse. Usually rugs sit too low on her chest, but this is cut quite high at the neck. I also like the thick memory foam pad at the withers. It’s kept her dry and warm though heavy rain, and hasn’t ripped or torn.”

“My horse has a high wither and this rug was quite generous in size, so it fitted him well. It showed no signs of any leaks and even with a couple of little snags it hasn’t ripped. It was quick and easy to adjust, and didn’t slip.”

“The rug fitted my horse well and had a good-sized tail flap. It didn’t rub her anywhere and the mesh lining kept the air circulating so I could put it on even if she was warm after exercise. I found the front clips a bit stiff, but it didn’t slip at all.”

“This rug was a good fit and didn’t rub. I liked the deep body and it didn’t leak, even in heavy rain. It’s good quality, too. The bright colours and pattern really suited my horse, but it would be nice to have the option of a plain version.”

“This was a great fit – snug round the neck and fitted over the back – it has a reasonable tail flap, too. The fastenings were easy and the reflective strips are great for after dark. It hasn’t rubbed at all, didn’t leak and dried quickly after the rain.”
