Cool Making Your Own Rugs?
I don't mean waterproof, they would be hard! to start with but things like fleeces/saddlecloths/bandages......

Following on from Loonys post and jazzy items for horses and not just ponies.

There really should be be stuff for the bigger horses, even though I have a small pony hes in bigger horse rugs so he still can't fit into the petite pony range

All the things I have come acorss are SO expensive!

Rugs are pretty easy, even the waterproof ones. All you need is a sewing machine, a binding foot, the fabric and filling, metal attachments and decent thread (gutterman do some ideal waxed and non waxed thread in a variety of weights). The most difficult part is the cutting, the sewing machine does the rest.
Years ago I made a selection of little rugs for my Saluki for the winter, I even made a little padded wide surcingle to keep his underneath warm to go with lol
Was going to make all of Raifes rugs but I just dont have the time to get them done before needed, next year I shall be better prepared lol

rubbish, they are easy, you and others should have more faith in themselves. You are far more capable than you realise I promise you that!
They cost a fraction of the retail price to make. Why dont you get yourself an old quilt or an old ripped stable/TO rug and cut out a mini rug, bind or stitch the edges and use the strapping to re fix the metal fixings to it, a cost free dry run so to speak, if it turns out ok get an account with a fabric supplier and make your own full size ones?
