Rambo And Amigo Horse Rugs Set The Standard

By Jerri Perry


Younger horseowners won't remember what blanketing an animal used to be like, before the advent of Rambo and Amigo horse rugs. If you want an idea, look up an old copy of the Pony Club manual (published in England) and read up on how to rug a pony. However, thanks to Horseware of Ireland, things are much simpler and more satisfactory now.

Horses are naturally well-adapted to cold, surviving when cows or mules will die. However, man has changed things for domesticated horses, and it's often necessary to help the animals keep warm in the winter. A wild beast grows a shaggy coat for protection, but regular grooming and clipping lessens this natural barrier.

Clipping is done because the naturally heavy winter coat makes horses sweat too much when worked strenuously, as in the hunt field or in a serious schooling session. Cooling out a shaggy animal can be a long and tedious process, during which it can get sick if things aren't done properly. Over the years, people have tried to find an ideal way to keep clipped horses warm when they were stabled or turned out in the field. Cold weather was hard; rain and cold together were worse.

At one time, layers were used for winter protection. Cotton next to the coat wicked away sweat, wool provided warmth even when it got wet, and waterproof sheets laid over all tried to keep out rain without overheating the animal. All of this was hard to keep in place if a horse ran, rolled, or even tried to graze.

Horseware was the first to achieve a securely-fitting, movement enabling, warm, breathable, and truly waterproof rug. Their Rambo blanket changed the industry once and for all. Today they have added the Amigo line, which gives the same excellent design and comfort for less money than top-of-the-line Rambos.

Their turn-out blankets mean that an owner can use one rug for day and night wear, without worrying that the horse will be too hot in the day or too cold at night. The horse stays warm and dry underneath the covering. The rug is cut to allow free movement of the neck and shoulders while giving complete protection to the back and body. Straps keep the rug in place without tangling a foot or leg.

The whole point of turning a horse out is so that it can run, roll, and graze naturally. An ill-fitting rug will cause rubbed and stiff shoulders and chafed necks, and will probably end up dragging along the ground after a few hours. Because one size does not fit all, the Amigo line has many sizes. Because fitting our equine companions out is fun, the sheets and blankets come in a variety of colors.

For a good return on investment and assurance of protection and comfort for your horse, look to Amigo horse rugs. These affordable blankets will do the job they are designed for and do it beautifully. There are many sizes to help you get a perfect fit and many colors to help you admire your horse whether it's out or in.
