Just after Christmas I received a Sale Catalogue from Robinson's Country Leisure and came across a turnout rug that might just fit my horse; it was reduced from £85.95 to £70.00 (can't be bad). This was going to be a late Christmas present for him - and I am sure just what he wanted!! The first job was ...
