Any recommendations? I would prefer something around 200g fill with some type of attachment in the hind end. Thanks!

I just picked up one of the Rambo Duo liners the other day to go under a Rambo mid weight, I think it was $52 and 200g fill. Instant heavy blanket. They make them in several weights, so its kinda nice to be able to choose. I think I got mine from Horse Tack Co. I'm really pleased with it.

That is exactly what I was looking at! Do you use it with another rambo? If so/not does it stay put? Thanks!!!

Use them and love them. Use with any blanket. Velcros in the front, has snaps in the back to attached to leg strap rings or tail cord rings. They come in weights of 100g to 400g. We have a bunch. Adams Horse Supply has a good stock of them, great service and will match any price.

Have you used them on a horse out 24/7? I have an Amigo sheet that I love and would love to be able to just get a liner to go under it.

I love my Amigo stable blankets. When fitted correctly they do not move around at all. Perfect to throw under another blanket.

My baker goes under everything. Unless I'm running a tad short on time and she's a little wet, then some type of moisture wicking cooler will go under it.

Schneider's has a great blanket liner. It's quilted with a nylon outer fabric--with a closed front, and it has slots so you can put your blanket straps through it. That way it doesn't shift at all--just moves with the blanket on top. It's also great because you can throw it in the wash and since there are no metal buckles on it--it doesn't clank around in your machine. And it does not pick up hair like the polarfleece liners do. Costs around $36. Love mine.

These are cheap, tough and simple.

You may not like the closed front, but they have slits in the back through which you put leg straps from your top layer.

They also have a tent-like area of foam-filled padding for the withers. It helps with rubbing up there just a tad.

Unfortunately I believe I saw that Schneider's are on back order till 3/2010 (atleast in an 80)

There's plenty of other places to get the Schneider's liner. Example:

What are the advantages/disadvantages of going with a liner versus a stable blanket. I realize that the stable blankets are pricier and have more straps to deal with but can be used alone while the liners are strictly for use under another blanket, but what are some other differences? Is a liner less likely to cause rubbing? Why would you choose not to spend a the extra to have something more versatile?

I have an Amigo blanker liner that I love. It works under any blanket. And it is able to be used on it's own. You can get them in 150 & 250 fill I believe.

One thing I love about the Duo liner is that I can get it off my horse in a hurry in the AM.. he's got a Rambo Wug medium weight on 24/7 right now, but if it's gonna be a cold night I can put it on when I feed dinner, then in the morning just reach in, undo the 1 front velcro closure, unclip the back snaps (that I just attach to the tail cord rings) and off it comes straight out the back. I realize this won't work with every horse, but I've had no static issues, which is great. A nice perk over a stable blanket. But, in addition, it's also way less bulky than a stable blanket (I have the 200g Duo liner). It provides plenty of warmth without the mass.The nylon is great against the hair too.. no rubbing at all, and his coat is slick and shiny. Doesn't shift either!

I second the Amigo stables as a liner. No shifting and can take them off by unfastening the chest of the liner and surcingles of both, then just pull it out. Plus it can be used alone as well! I have also used the Baker's underneath, but they seem to shift a bit more than the regular stable blankets--but they are also a bit warmer.

I purchased a smart pak thinselate blanket that equals 200 fill... Its as light as a sheet... I LOVE LOVE LOVE it... doesn't cause a lot of bulk under her blanket but provides the extra warmth... I use to have a very expensive fleece one and it was NOTHING but a pain in the butt!!! Static all the time!! The nice thing about the thinselate blanket is one it can double as a blanket on its own but also have denier and waterproofing and breathable... :D

I have the schneiders liner, and like it too. They do tend to run large, so I would get the size down from what you normally get. I think they are cut for for deeper bodied horses.

I am loving the Thermo manager blanket (made by Tuff Rider) it super light, warm and cozy and really wicks moisture! So it also doubles as a cooler! Plust it looks super good on!

I'm glad you resurrected this thread because I was just thinking about this today. My horse has a Rambo Wug medium weight and I need to get something to add warmth.

Someone mentioned that the Schneider's run large. Would that mean that a horse who wears an 84 in Rider's and an 81 in Rambo would be an 82 for the Schneider's?

Probably. Gus is an 84 in nearly everything but Schneiders. He's an 82 in that brand.

Polartec Liners- They have a closed front and a unique surcingle so there are no pressure points or extra bulk under the blanket. They work great for trailering too. Plus they're American Made :)

They also have Primaloft that is super warm, yet still pretty thin. http://www.horseworks.com/inc/sdetail/145.
