Grivel Rambo 2 Special

Advantages: Tough, effective, fit
Disadvantages: Not cheap

...and she used it this winter on a clipped out cob. Again, there was no rubbing and the horse has been very comfy in it. The Rambo seems pretty breathable and horses only sweated in it when we had really quick changes of weather. I paid over £100 for the Rambo but 2 years later it looks as good as new. It has been washed a couple of times but has not needed any mending or re-proofing. These are very good quality rugs which will with stand seemingly any conditions. I suspect that over a few years, they become pretty inexpensive as you shouldn't have to replace them as often as with many brands.... Read review

Advantages: Everything
Disadvantages: The cost!! But well worth it

...I have 2 rambo turnout rugs, the standard rug and also the wug, the wug is the one with attached neck cover/hood. Both of these rugs are of superb quality, having owned them for 2 years I have just had them washed and re-proofed and they look as good as new.

I would highly... Read review

Products Rambo original: This is the green rug with red cross surcingles, fillet string and front straps. The outer of this rug is ballistic nylon, with a nylon line. It is marketed as waterproof and breathable. It is the product I owned initally for my 14.2hh event pony. He is half thoroughbred but hates being stabled, and despite being 2 day event fit, he used to live out in all weathers. This rug used to keep him warm and dry. When he was clipped we used to put other rugs underneath it as required. As the rambo is quite deep and cut high on the neck, these were kept fairly dry. There, unfortunately was some leakage around the neck, but short of gluing a rug to the horses neck I cannot see how this could ever be avoided. Although... Read review
