Rhinegold
Full Neck Stable Rug
Horsewear
Manufacturer: Rhinegold
Model: Full Neck Stable Rug
Category: Horsewear
Purchase: I paid about £25 for this rug (through trade, I think RRP is about £55?). I bought it to keep my TB warm in the winter as it has a full neck.
Likes: Its lovely and cosy. I think the neck only needs to be used on really quite cold days, even my TB felt a little hot under it sometimes. It was perfectly good to just fold the neck back. It fitted very well and never slipped. It seemed very comfy and the front chest gussets worked well and it hasnt rubbed (although I dont use it all the time). The tail guard also kept out draughts. The fastenings were easy to do up and I especially like the fact that it also came with hind leg straps which many stable rugs dont seem to have. The front chest fastenings weren't buckles, but surcingle type ones so were very quick to do up.
Dislikes: It's bulky to handle, but then I guess they all are when they're combo's, its a lot of rug! Its not that deep, so looks a bit short for my chunky cob although is fine for my TB types.
The front chest fastening (which was a surcingle type fastening) meant that you couldnt tailor it to fit (like a buckle) so it was a little tight for my cob, but was acceptable. It was perfect for my TB.
I would have preferred the inside to have been that satin type material (which buffs the coat into a shine!) but then thats purely my preference!
Quality: The outer of the rug seems to repel dirt quite well and is strong. The stitching and fastenings were all very good.
Summary: For a very cheap full neck rug, this is a great buy. Definately worth the money (even at RRP). If you want a well fitting, tough, cosy rug then this is the one for you!
