Horseware Ireland Ltd has an excellent reputation. Some would say they set the industry standard. They strive to innovate, not imitate. All products undergo periodic reviews to make sure they're made using the latest and best materials and design options. Amigo horse rugs are budget friendly, high quality, comfortable and safe for horses to wear.
Blankets are necessary to protect animals from the cold, rain, dirt, and mud. Some offer added protection from ultraviolet rays and annoying insects. Sheets protect from dust or dirt without adding warmth. For a stabled animal in winter, use a stable blanket. Turnout rugs should be warm and waterproof. A high quality blanket that fits properly won't slip or leak. Use a Cooler to protect from chills after exercise on a cold day.
When stabled in winter, a stable blanket is sufficient protection. Stable blankets also serve as a liner under a turnout blanket in cold weather. Turnout blankets are waterproof and durable to withstand the rigors of outside wear and tear. Amigo turnout rugs include a breathable nylon lining and are available in 3 weights. Hoods are also available.
An animal outside in snow or rain should be covered. The elderly, colts and fillies, are more susceptible needing covers earlier and later in the season. A recently clipped horse is more susceptible to cold. An animal recently moved from a warmer climate will need a rug. Show horses are blanketed to keep their coat clean and the growth light and even.
Horses should have at least a sheet and 1 turnout blanket. In very cold weather horses need an outer layer for protection from the elements, and an inner layer for warmth. If you can afford extra blankets, then blankets can be washed while others are worn. Every horse should have his own set of blankets to avoid any expensive spread of skin infections.
Determine size by measuring from the center chest to the tail. Measure along the side of the animal. Inches measured is the size to order. If an odd number, round up. Also round up a if your horse has a thick coat. To check fit, slip a hand under the blanket at the withers. Also be sure your horse can lift his/her tail unobstructed, and lower his/her head to graze without discomfort. A too small blanket leaves skin exposed to the elements, is uncomfortable, even painful to wear. A too large blanket rubs the skin causing blisters. Mud and insects get trapped underneath. It can even slip causing the horse to slip or fall.
At 40-55 degrees, most need a lightweight blanket without a liner. At 30-40 degrees, move up to a medium weight blanket. If recently clipped, or young or old, add a light liner. At 20-30 degrees most need a heavy rug with a medium liner. Below 20 degrees, use a heavy rug plus a stable blanket.
