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.
Wild horses don't wear blankets. They grow shaggy coats in winter, seek sheltered spots when it snows or rains, run around to keep warm, and survive in good shape when cows and mules are dying. In summer, they shed off all that extra hair, seek shade from noon sun, and graze during the cooler nights.
However, people often disrupt this natural process. Many confine horses to stalls, clip them to remove shaggy coats, and move them from warm barns to chilly fields or from hot pastures to barns with fans in the aisles. An animal with restricted movement might need extra protection to stay warm, and one turned out into a paddock without shade might need a sheet to keep off sun and flies.
Layers of material were used: a thin cotton layer first, then a warmer woolen layer, and then a waterproof layer over all if the animal was to be turned out of doors. Early one-piece, insulated blankets usually leaked, especially after a few rains or after a washing, and they also were hard to keep in place. Horses developed rubbed or sore shoulders and sometimes got tangled in the straps meant to keep the blanket in place.
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.
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.
If you are on a budget but still want excellent performance and long-lasting protection, check out Amigo horse rugs, sheets, hoods, and other gear. Customer reviews show that many owners have been very happy with their purchases, both in fit and in seasons of wear. Keep your animals healthy and comfortable in the stall or in the field with these standard-setting products manufactured in Ireland and North Carolina.
