Superior Products From Rambo Rugs

By Essie Osborn


Equestrian products provide a multi million dollar industry every year. There are many thousands of barns, both large and small, all over the country. Some people like to keep their horse at their own private barn, whilst others prefer the convenience of a full service livery yard. What all these owners and riders have in common is that they are always in need of top of the line products to keep their animals clean and healthy.

Horses are very active animals who love to run and play. When turned out in the field with their friends they can often play quite rough and have a tendency to nip at each other in a good natured way. Should they accidentally grab the rug it often ends up in sheds. Investing in good quality products such as the Rambo rugs will provide a lot more wear and help to keep the horse clean and comfortable.

Rambo is the brand name of the rugs made by the Horseware of Ireland company. As their name implies each rug is made to be extremely tough. A host of additional features have been incorporated that owners and riders love. These include light weight nylon denier finishes that provide warmth without bulk.

Traditionally horses wore winter blankets that were very heavy, prone to rot and practically impossible to keep clean. They could not be machine washed and often allowed in water. Horses were left standing in damp clothing and this led to many secondary skin problems. In addition the old style rug was not cut generously enough around the shoulders. Rubbing and bare skin were frequent problems that not only looked bad but could lead to permanent marking on the animals skin.

The company realized that they had to go right back to the drawing board and completely redesign the rug to fit the horses shape properly. This meant a much more generous cut, especially around the front and shoulder area. The fasteners were also addressed. Instead of clumsy buckles that were impossible to use with cold hands, they replaced them with generous Velcro fastenings and easy to use snaps.

Even during the summer a horse will also need a light rain resistant turn out sheet. These are very helpful for an animal that needs to be ridden regularly. Once the horse is wet it cannot be ridden until it is thoroughly dry. Putting a saddle on a wet horse will cause rubbing and sores very quickly. These can take many weeks to heal and are prone to returning.

Having a washable rug is so important. It not only prolongs the usable life of the rug, but helps to keep the horses skin healthy. The nylon lining is revolutionary as it not only prevents rubbing but actually helps to improve the quality of the coat.

It is wonderful for equestrians to know they have a company they can rely on. The Horseware products and particularly the Rambo line have long been favorites among riders. They are happy to buy a product that they know will stand up to the job and keep their horse dry in even the wettest weather. After all a product that was developed in Ireland should know how to deal with rain.
