Quiltmasta 350 Check Stable Rug
The Quiltmasta 350 ‘Check’ stable rug from Masta will add a little colour to your horse’s wardrobe while keeping him, or her, warm.
Pro’s – This rug lives up to its name, as the horse really does look snug in what looks like a quilt wrapped around him.
The style and cut of the rug makes it a good shape for horses of different sizes and shapes. The neck is cut quite high with fleece padding to help protect the horse’s wither and mane. When fitted, it didn’t slip or slide backwards or create pressure points around the neck or rub marks.
The Quiltmasta 350 Check Stable Rug has a thermal lining that offers your horse plenty of warmth.
The rug is large for its size. May be advisable to order a slightly smaller size.
Sizes: 4ft6 – 7ft 3
