Rambo And Amigo Horse Rugs Set The Standard

By Jerri Perry


Amigo horse rugs (blankets) are one of life's conveniences that many take for granted. Today's owners put well-fitting, waterproof, breathable blankets on their animals, secure the straps, and send them outside for days and nights of comfort. This wasn't always possible, In fact, the Irish Horseware company revolutionized the industry with their standard-setting Rambo blankets and economy Amigo line.

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.

Domestic horses, however, are often confined to small paddocks or stalls, where they can't move around enough to keep warm. They may be clipped so they won't overheat during exercise, but this removes their natural protection from cold. They may not have adequate shade in summer. Ever since mankind changed the natural order of things, keeping animals comfortable has presented problems to caring owners.

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.

Keeping coverings in place without restricting movement of the neck and shoulders was a whole other problem. Fortunately, Horsewares solved all of the above. Their Rambo blanket proved to be warm, waterproof, and securely fitting. Best of all, this design 'breathed', allowing excess body heat to be transferred through the covering and keeping the animal from sweating under its turn-out blanket. One blanket could provide both day and night protection.

Amigo is the Horseware budget line of turn-outs, stable blankets, fly sheets, and other equine equipment. The turn-outs are waterproof and warm, they breathe, and they stay in place just like the Rambos. They also wear well. Reviews from satisfied customers testify to the performance of these economical, well-designed blankets.

A blanket must allow horses to graze, run, or roll but still stay in place. It must not bind the neck or shoulders. Its straps need to be adjustable (since one size can never fit all). Straps must be loose enough to not bother the horse but tight enough not to let a foot or leg get under them. It's not easy to do all this, but Horseware has done it.

Amigo horse rugs give complete satisfaction and seasons of wear at an affordable price. Many sizes and colors complete this line of rugs, sheets, hoods, and other gear for horses.
