    they have a trade discount on them so might be worth my while getting there.....

    can offer 20% off any GFS and pessoa rug too....

    perfect landy thanks -

    my requirements are heavyweight 360g or more and full attached neck..... will have a look again at their prices....

    on horserugs4u at the moment...not exactly and easy website to trawl through

    ok - anyone had a funnell - I can also supply these myself away to look at trade price - but the pics don't show enough of the tail flap to see if its going to be good enough - anyone tried one>>???????????????

    Umm crap really, rug otherwise is excellent but tail flap poor in comparison to the weatherbeeta. None of my rugs compare to the WB with tail flaps, paddys is good because he has a size to big because of his huge neck. My pet hate is cross over leg straps, cos I need a hard hat with Windy cos she is a cow

    shires has as good a tail flap as WB and thats about all that does.......

    ok found the orican heavy full neck - not as pretty as taka but nearly same spec except the underbelly tucker inners......

    it's 69 but with tax and deliver 77..... thats what's to beat MUNRO

    fraid it's not the same........... sorry this is how anal i am about rugs...thats 300g on equestrian clearance - the one on my link is 360g.... BUT GOOD EFFORT!!!!!!!!

    again credentials are:

    good tail flap,

    full neck

    360g or more..........

    surely a company would not have the same rugs just with 60g of difference, as i would class both a heavy weight, would they not make a med weight alot lighter than 300g...... what if they are the same rug and one of the web sites has made a mistake!



    found this site for anyone looking for a discount

    We have 2 WB Orican combo full neck,lovely rug but tail flap a bit lacking in width and depth,there is a 6'6" heavy weight on E.Clearance at £59 if you want to look..Blimey I sound like a rep for them but it's just because we've had really good rugs at good prices and great service so I tend to look there first...stands up,lowers head..and admits "my name is 'Jovi'.and.....I am A rug addict".

    is that the one jovi - saw that but it says at top you might be sent the detach a neck OR the full neck original - didn't want to risk a detach a neck as there's no where to choose which you want - only the colours....

    Thats the one but its not a choice of full or detatchable neck,its either a standard or freestyle (shoulder gussets). We ordered 2 and both are the newer freestyle
    If you click on more images you'll see the difference

    freestyle orican also has the detachable neck though doesn't it ?? according to their website it does anyway :-(

    http://www.weatherbeeta.com/UK/Proof...ANeckHeavy.asp

    but im guessing if you ordered that exact one and it had full neck i'm gonna just go for that then!!! cheers

    my mistake - I just assumed by going by the freestyle using description on the weatherbeeta website that it could be that....

    here is an orican detach a neck on the EC website....
