This blog post is to show you all Legacy's autumn/winter rug collection, and explaining what type of weather she wears what it.
I'm currently undecided on to sell these from 100g upwards and just get her one 100g detach a neck rug which allows liners. Has anyone done this before? Let me know.
Lightweights (No Fills)
For her lightweight with no neck she has the Shires Tempest Limited Edition Sheep Print Rug Standard Neck. This is a great rug for when the weathers starting to turn and the rain starts coming in. As Legacy's right across from the sea and has no shelter it's great to keep the wind off of her.
Her Lightweight Combo is the Weatherbeeta Classic Combo. This is great for when the weather gets really wet and windy but it's still too warm for a 100g rug.
Lightweights (100g Fill)
I'm not entirely sure which rug Legacy's 100g std neck is but I know It's an Amigo one, I bought this second hand for Cloudy but it fit Legacy much better. The closest to it I could find is the Amigo Hero 6 100g or the Amigo Bravo 12 100g. Whichever one it is, it's a great rug and there are also loops on the inner neck which I'm assuming is for rug liners.
Her combo lightweight that she has, is a Dr Green Lightweight turnout with a fleece lining. This rug isn't available online so I've found the closest available to it which is the Horze Avalanche Turnout sheet. These are great rugs because the fleece creates warmth for the horse but it's not too much.
Medium Weight (200-220g)
The standard neck Medium Weight Legacy has is the Derby House Pro turnout. I find this weight of rug a good next step from the 100g with a neck, as it's not a 'full' medium weight and it has no neck. This keeps her warm but also makes the next step of a 220g combo a good enough step to last her most of winter.
She doesn't have a 220g combo at the moment as I sold it due to it not being 100% waterproof anymore, but the one she did have was the Weatherbeeta Genero. Due to selling this one, this is why I'm either looking for a new medium weight which is last or a multi use rug with liners.
Heavyweight (300-360g)
Her first heavyweight rug is the Shires Tempest 300g Combo, by the time of year that she needs this the weather is cold enough to need a neck on her rug all the time. I really like this rug and I've written a review on it here.
The heaviest rug she has is the Weatherbeeta Genero 360g Combo. The winters here have been quite mild and she hasn't needed this the past 2 years, so it's been away in storage.
