Nikwax Rug Care Range

Advantages: Good quality horse clothing
Disadvantages: Have to wash them!

As I already own several Horseware rugs I was already aware of their quality and great range of products. I searched my favourite horsy products websites and catalogues. My magpie eye spied the new Rambo supreme in the Derby house catalogue and I was immediately impressed. It covers the horse from his neck, just behind the ears right to his tail.
