10.SWEET ITCH RUG - WHICH ONE WOULD BE BEST? in Horse and Hound forum. Includes Premier, Boett, Pagony and Rambo.
Excerpt"I was going to get a Rambo Sweet itch Hoody, have had several good reports about it but not sure about the fit, Sherman's got a broad, deep body but a short neck! The Premier Equine one looks fairly similar and is very well priced, has anyone had experience of this one, or does anyone know of any other good ones? Not keen on Boett because I think they always look a bit hot, and people I know who have used them have found that they damage quite easily." - sue_ellen
