Why our Staff Love Weatherbeeta Rugs!
PetnPony believe that the best customer service comes when the product is tried and tested by us so you know it does what it's supposed to do. A lot of us love horses and love to ride, compete or hunt with them, that's why we interviewed some of our staff about their opinion on Weatherbeeta.
Jayne Sexton: Hunting
"The horses I ride are big and their rug size is 7'3, which is bigger than most brands actually go to, so i find it hard to get a rug that fits. However Weatherbeeta not only has rugs that are that size but also have plenty of different styles and types to choose from which makes them my top choice when buying rugs! I have tried out other rugs in the past but Weatherbeeta come out on top for me. I bought the Fox Print rug for my horse last year and its breathable, really good for keeping him cool, nice and deep so really wraps around him and keeps him warm and the 3 year guarantee is a great piece of mind too! Although I love the rugs, I really like the fleece coolers for when i'm finished hunting for the day as I can keep them warm and match them with the hay bag and travel boots too!"
Clare Barnes: Eventing, Hunting, Tilting, Hacking
"I've tried many rug brands but in the end I just love Weatherbeeta rugs, they're really hard wearing and the 1200D matierial is super strong and doesnt rip but is still light enough that my horse doesn't overheat. For the times when i want to keep my horse dry but it's warm, my rug has a fleece that i can remove and zip in/out when i need to. The rugs are so snuggly and the leg straps keep them directly in place to make a nice and deep all around protection."
Lucy Read: Dressage and Showjumping
I Absolutely love my WeatherBeeta Comfitec Plus Dynamic turnout rugs, they're really tough and hard wearing, I have the 100g combo version which is perfect for chilly days. I love WeatherBeeta rugs they are a perfect fit for all 3 of my horses who range from wearing a 6ft rug to a 7ft3! I wouldn't buy anything other than a WeatherBeeta.
