Excellent Quality
I ordered a rug liner and stable rug for my Welsh Sect D stallion who is definitely built like a tank. I used the actual horses measurements to decide which sizes to procure. When the rugs arrived it was very obvious that they were extremely small. I contacted TBHS and with the help of some photographs showing the issues I had Joanne was able to sort the problem. They paid for the items to be returned and very quickly sent a larger size. I cannot fault the company customer services and their knowledge of their products. From my experience I will always buy a size larger than the horse measures in the future. The quality of the horse rugs is excellent and in my opinion represents very good value. They wash and wear very well and seem to be resistant to the rips that seem to miraculously appear when any where near a horse. I will definitely buy from this company in the future.

Fantastic fit!
Great! Quick delivery and the fly rug is an absolute perfect fit for my big 17.2hh lad! So pleased as most other fly rugs come up really short on him.

Fly rug broad fit
Fly rug broad fit was delivered super quick and fits my PRE really well (it's the first time I've had fasteners as tight as they will go) the neck is an excellent fit.
The only criticism is the lining, he sweats due to the synthetic lining and cotton would be a far better liner

5 Stars
5 Stars – Total Game Changer!
I initially purchased this fly rug for one of my heavy horses just to try it out, and I’ve been so impressed that I’ve now swapped all my horses over to the same one. The zebra print really is a game changer – the difference in how many horse flies land on the printed rug compared to a plain one is remarkable. My horses are noticeably more comfortable, and the fit is great on my heavier types. Also super fast delivery.
Highly recommend!

Lovely big fly mask for our Belgian
After issues with Royal Mail wrongfully adding extra charges to my parcel from the big horse shop, The big horse shop were able to assist in getting me the parcel that I had ordered from them. It is a lovely big fly mask that fits my chunky Belgian draft horse
