Snaffle-it Horse Supplies was born with a desire to design affordable quality equine clothing to suit Australian conditions. Fit and comfort are of the utmost importance. With over thirty years experience with horses and associations, the research and experience allowed them to develop a unique design that fits a diverse range of shapes & sizes. From the slender Thoroughbred to the more rounded Warmbloods & heavier breeds like Clydesdales.
The entire Snaffle-it range goes through extensive research & development before release onto the market. New designs and product improvements are just part of the desire to ensure the best possible equine clothing are available.
Snaffle-it rugs are cut with higher necklines than most conventional rugs, therefore they WON’T slip back on the horses wither, where other rugs can cause rubbing, Snaffle-it rugs sit high, so no sore spots here! Another unique feature of the Snaffle-it range is the l-o-n-g necks, both in the Combo’s and Neck Rugs. No nasty six inch gaps of exposed skin, the necks are long enough to keep your horse covered whilst grazing.
Snaffle-it will have your horse covered in all seasons; from the light weight Ripstop range which incorporates mesh as an option, to the Mid-Season un-lined rug, right through to the warm Winter range, Rugs, Neck Rugs, Combos and of course the toasty Fleece Rugs and Neck Rug.No matter what the weather, Snaffle-it has the answer!
We tested out the
- 1680 Denier Winter Rug (retail $149.95) and Neck Rug (retail $44.95)
- 1200 Denier Winter Combo (retail $144.95)
We were very impressed with the rugs, the first thing you notice is the excellent fit. Both rugs sit very well on the neck and even under the trying paddock conditions of a horse turned out in a large shared paddock, there was no slipping back or rubbing. The horse trialing the 1680 Denier Winter Rug has been a difficult horse to fit, she has even had rugs made to measure for her in the past, but always the rugs moved and rubbed her withers.
The fit of the rugs around the chest is excellent, Velcro closures and double straps but cut low enough to allow the horse’s to graze without cutting into them. The rugs have double clipped, elasticized leg straps which allow a snug fit and ease of handling. The secure double neck rug attachments ensure that there is no risk of them coming undone or of slipping or sideways movement of the neck rug. It is also great to see a longer cut neck rug, no riding up when the horse’s head is down grazing.
The horse testing out the 1200 Denier Winter Combo is a bit of a monster in the paddock and usually his rugs go for repairs each second week! I was thrilled that although you could see marks on the surface of the rug, where he tested them out, the tough outer shell was not cut in any way. His combo sat very well and we loved the way the neck rugs sat high on the neck and didn’t slip back during grazing.
