Hi y’all – if anyone has that hard to fit horse that gets shoulder rubs in every blanket except the most expensive – Horseloverz has the Rambo Optimos outer shell for $150 sale price in most sizes right now. Search “Optimo.” These are 68% off (normally closer to $500).
Any of the Rambo hoods fit them, FYI.
Hope that helps someone!
Thank you for posting! That describes my guy to a T, so I grabbed one to try out. Fingers crossed it works for him 
Thanks! Snagged one! 78 is almost never left when sales like these happen.
Thank you for this heads up. I LOVE my older Optimo and cannot resist a sale like this. I mean wow.
I tried to snag one but they are all out in the sizes I need.
But if anyone sees any similar sales, please pass them along!
If you were interested in a 72 @Texarkana, I can message you if it doesn’t work out on my mare. I’ve only used the Supremes in the past.
Do the Optimos run larger than the standard Rambos?
Yes…nearly a size bigger.
Aw, that is very kind! Unfortunately that’s not a size I need.
So I bought one of these for my horse that had just grown out of 75 into 78, and some blankets are a bit “mini skirt” like on him. He’s swimming in the 78 Optimo 
I knew that they ran large but they didn’t have any 75’s so I went for 78 since he’s wearing other Rambo blankets in that size now. It’s just kind of long too.
Not sure if I will return it (I think I can - I didn’t look), sell it, or hold onto it. He still has growing left to do, but I’m not sure he will grow THAT much. It was worth a try though!
I bet you can sell it for more than you bought it for! Esp if you wait just a bit 
My horses are in 75 Rambos and I went with the 72 Optimo. Looks great.
Anyone with eyeballs on sales for the liners? I’ve been looking around for a 100g, but nada so far. I have it on my Black Friday list if I can’t find one before that!
I already have a bunch of blankets to sell
It’s such a headache selling things sometimes though.
I think the Optimo would work well for my horse, just in a smaller size. Not sure that I’ll shell out the cash for a full priced one, because I didn’t really “need” this one, but it was a good deal.
Please, this thread must be stopped before I attempt to purchase one of these…or they need to sell out. I DO NOT need more blankets 
but, yet here I am…
That’s my sentiment fot almost all horse purchases including my horse himself 
I was going to start an addiction thread because one of mine are Rambos. I LOVE the new Optimo but haven’t yet put it on the unicorn.
My other addictions are chocolate and used clothing on eBay. It could be worse. Much worse. 
Ha! I just checked and thankfully, no sizes to fit my guys. Which is for the best.
You should still start the addiction thread though. Besides blankets, I collect bits, jackets, jeans and a tshirt from every place I visit
