Masta Check-Tech Extra Deep Turnout & Neck Rug

Advantages: Fits well.
Disadvantages: Neck attachment sold seperately.

...I dont normally use Masta rugs on my horses but after going on the net and looking in catalogues I was really impressed with this rug so I decided to buy one for my one horse who I find it difficult to fit rugs. The first this that attracted me to this rug was the high shoulder gussets which gives a bit more freedom. Once the rug was on him was great a real good fit, it wasnt too baggy or right at the front and it was really deep on him which is exactly what I wanted from a heavy weight rug.

...Horseware Rambo supreme heavyweight turnout rug My horse is a sensitive soul, needing to be wrapped up warm in the winter and shielded from the flies in the summer.

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.
