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.
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.
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.
The whole point of turning a horse out is so that it can run, roll, and graze naturally. An ill-fitting rug will cause rubbed and stiff shoulders and chafed necks, and will probably end up dragging along the ground after a few hours. Because one size does not fit all, the Amigo line has many sizes. Because fitting our equine companions out is fun, the sheets and blankets come in a variety of colors.
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.
