Rambo And Amigo Horse Rugs Set The Standard

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.

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.

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.

Horsepeople used to work hard to figure out ways to keep cold at bay and protect animals from freezing rain, the worst case scenario. A cotton sheet might be laid on first to absorb sweat if the woolen blanket and its waterproof covering proved to be too much. Later, they tried a warmer blanket at night and a lighter one for day. No matter what they did, rain soaked both animal and covering, and horses got too warm, too cold, or too wet.

Horseware was founded with an aim to create a truly protective, secure, and safe turn-out rug. Once the company released its Rambo rug, competitors had no choice but to follow their lead. This new design had chest straps and belly straps to keep the blanket in place, was truly waterproof, and 'breathed'. This last quality was all-important when animals wore the same rug on day and night.

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 rug must stay evenly centered over the horse's back while allowing the shoulders and neck to move freely for moving and grazing. This is not easy to do, but the clever designs of Horseware provide a snug fit without rubbed or sore shoulders or chafed necks. The straps are designed to hold the rug on without being either tight enough to bother the animal or loose enough to snag a foot or leg.
