HUG Prize 1200D Turn Out Blanket - Heavy Weight

This blanket doesn't cause shoulder rubs the way others seem to. Is a little light in the insulation and elastic straps on neck need to be knotted to maintain length. Have used this blanket for several years and best for horses that other blankets rub. Not as jeavy duty as other blankets but then it is not as pricy either. Good buy.

The Prize Hug 1200D is the best fitting blanket I have tried on my hard to fit 17H TB gelding. He has broad shoulders and a heavy neck. Most blankets fit too tight and cause compression on his neck in front of the withers. The Hug fits behind his withers and is roomy and comfortable around the shoulders, so there is no painful pulling in the place on his neck where other blankets had actually left an indentation. My big guy is finally happy after 19 years of wearing expensive ill fitting blankets, manufactured by companies that promised a great fit, but never delivered. My only complaint is the matching hood in XL was too small for him and not the greatest design, in my opinion, so I returned it. I am so happy with this blanket, though, I am ordering another hug for my QH gelding!

The blanket did not fit so I sent it back, but even if it had fit I would have returned it. It was not a quality blanket for the price, and I've ordered/bought several for my hard to fit horse so I have some comparisons. The hardware was low quality as were the straps. The sides of the blanket were only insulated about half way down the barrel. It did not feel like a heavy weight blanket at all.

After numerous blankets that made him lame, we discovered that the blankets were too tight around the shoulders. The HUG was perfect, he loves it and no more lameness. Great Blanket! I plan to order the light sheet and fly sheet in the HUG brand. I have recommended it to several friends who have high withered horses.
