Save Money Without Sacrificing Quality With Amigo Horse Rugs

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.

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.

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.

The Rambo changed the standard for the industry. All blankets now follow the basic design that Horseware perfected. Amigo gear is based on the same designs and theory, but comes at a lower cost for owners on a budget. These blankets are waterproof, breathing, and easy to fit, with a choice of sizes and adjustable straps. Check out reviews posted by satisfied customers who have gotten very good service out of their purchases.

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.

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.
