Rambo Optimo sale

[fordtraktor]

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.

[PaddockWood]

Thank you for this heads up. I LOVE my older Optimo and cannot resist a sale like this. I mean wow.

[Texarkana]

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.

[TWH_Girl]

Do the Optimos run larger than the standard Rambos?

[NaturallyHappy]

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!

[Simkie]

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!

[CanteringCarrot]

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.

[TWH_Girl]

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…

[TWH_Girl]

@CanteringCarrot

but it was a good deal.

That’s my sentiment fot almost all horse purchases including my horse himself

[PaddockWood]

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.

[TWH_Girl]

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

[PaddockWood]

@fordtraktor Just a big thank you for the heads up on this sale. Oh do I love this Optimo and that price wow. Yes, it’s running too big on my girl who measures a 78 and the 75 Optimo is too big but it’ll work and for that price!

For me the Optimo has been tricky on sizing. I have one just sitting that I bought years ago for my guy who fit perfectly in 72 Rambo and bought a 69 Optimo and it was like a mini skirt on him and too tight. I just can’t get the Optimo sizing to work perfectly.

I love the Optimo with no shoulder rubs and just saw the most beautiful beading after a rain! After their waterproofing problems it’s good to see beading.

I also got a liner and a 150gm hood and love both of those too.

[endlessclimb]

Hey @simkie, it looks like the liners are on sale now!

[NaturallyHappy]

I think the Optimo is tricky for everyone. I actually called Horseware customer service…the very nice person I spoke w said they were having all kinds of problems w sizing for the Optimo.

[CanteringCarrot]

I returned my Optimo to Horseloverz due to the fit, and I will say that they accepted my return and refunded my money promptly! Cannot complain there.

Dover on the other hand…
