just thought id add - i have that first saxon rug and i reccoemend it!

anyone know of any lightweigh (no fill) rugs for under £30?

[Samantha1980]

I am looking for a LW combo and have found that they cost more (a lot more) than mw ones:confused:

[CurlyWurlyRach]

how odd.
im tempted by the amigo one - may have to just deal with a wet mane! Its about £30 but my local tackshop only has it in obscure sizes :mad:

found another rug 200g shires combo (scroll down) £50

I remember reading that someone takes the filling out mw rugs to make no fill ones but I cant remember who it was:(

[CurlyWurlyRach]

i shouldnt imagine it'd be too hard... just slit open the lining, pull the wolly stuff out and stitch it back up...now theres a thought...

[Samantha1980]

then I can have this one

if my mum will help me to take filling out:)

[Pink's lady]

That would be me.;)

It is really really easy to take the stuffing out. Give yourself an hour to do it, including the snow-drift of fluff you need to tidy up afterwards;)

Unpick a seam at the rim of the rug on one side (half way between the surcingles is easist) and turn the rug inside out. Pull all the fluff out, turn the rug back the right way and sew the hole up again. Dead easy and means you can buy any thickness you want. Have a look on ebay for cheaper rugs - weatherbetta combo's are easy to get and cheap if you don't mind what thinckness.

Here a few - not sure the size you need -

Landa combo 6'0 (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/WEATHERBEETA-LANDA-COMBO-60_W0QQitemZ160037718347QQihZ006QQcategoryZ72589QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Landa combo 6'6 (sort of) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Weatherbeeta-Landa-Combo-Rug-Medium-Weight-220g_W0QQitemZ200035281749QQihZ010QQcategoryZ72589QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Orican combo 6'3 (couldn't recommend these rugs enough) (http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/Weatherbeeta-Orican-Combo-Turnout-Rug-6ft-3_W0QQitemZ290037716581QQihZ019QQcategoryZ72589QQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem)

Loads of others - just type in 'rug combo' or 'rug full neck'

hey

hmm not really sure where to get any combs for under £50 best bet is probably ebay.

was just wondering though if pinks ladys idea would work the othe ay by putting more filling in i.e an old quilt and stiching it in place:confused:

lol mayb a bit time consuming

lozzie an pinxx

ps sory bit pointless

thanks
Have you ever taken the filling out of a saxon rug? I can get the purple combo for £40. Im looking for a 5ft.
Another question:rolleyes: If a pony has a light weight on does there coat still fluff up ok to keep them warm or does the rug stop it working so well?

I have bought a Orican combo for my TB and it looks a great rug.

[Samantha1980]

Has anyone tried this rug http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b334/Sam1980/ag_1_b.jpg
Rhinegold no fill combo £40

Sorry about all the questions but money is short just now and I want to get a decent rug for Fern to keep her dry and cosy. http://i22.photobucket.com/albums/b334/Sam1980/SUNP0013.jpg

No the coat does not fluff up, the rug stops the hair filling with air, if your gonna rug when its cold, i would say its best to have one with filling:)

Rhinegold no fill combo £40

QUOTE]

I've just bought a Rhinegold no fill rug (no neck on it though).

Not very impressed. All the rugs we've had before had some kind of velcro on the chest closures to keep the front of the rug together or they had filling so we a bit stiffer than this lightweight rug. This one just has buckles and the front flaps on the chest keep folding in on themselves leaving a bit open bit at the front :(
