First impressions
Never miss out on the latest happenings in the equestrian world
I thought this rug looked really smart and well made. I loved the style and the thickness of the rug was just perfect.
Overview of performance
This rug performed excellently. It fitted well and the fastenings were sturdy and easy to use. It was really breathable — ideal for a travel rug — and the material was good quality overall.
Jo’s likes and dislikes
It was a lovely all-round rug, but I particularly liked the shoulder darts. I can’t think of a way to improve it.
Verdict
*BEST IN TEST & BEST VALUE* I would recommend this to anyone who is travelling their horse.
