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 protect animals from rain, cold, mud, dirt. Some also protect from the sun and insects. To be effective, a rug must fit properly so it doesn't leak or slip, while still allowing the animal to move comfortably. Turnout blankets need to be waterproof. Sheets protect from blowing dust and dirt but don't provide insulation. Cooler sheets are used after exercise on cold days to protect from the rapid sweat evaporation that can bring on chills.
Stable blankets protect stabled equines from cold weather. Use indoors or as an extra layer under a turnout. Turnout blankets are designed to stand the wear and tear of outside time. Amigo turnout rugs are waterproof, breathable with a nylon lining, come in 3 weights and include the option of adding a hood.
A horse with a clipped coat will need more protection than an animal with a winter coat. Older animals, as well as colts and fillies, need extra protection from the elements. An animal moved from a warmer climate will need a warmer rug than the local residents. To maintain a show quality coat, blanket early in the fall to keep the coat clean, short, and even in appearance.
In moderate climates, horses will need at least 1 stable sheet and 1 turnout rug. In cold weather, add an inner liner for extra warmth, with an outer layer that protects from rain and snow. Two sets are recommended so 1 set can be washed while the horse is wearing the other set. Blankets shared between horses can spread contagious skin diseases. Best that each horse have his own sheets and blankets.
Measure from the center of the chest to the tail along the side of the horse. Order the same size as inches measured. For odd sizes or if your horse has a thick coat, round up. Check fit by slipping your hand between the blanket and withers. You should be able to reach the shoulder. Be sure the horse can lower his head to graze comfortably, and lift his tail to eliminate without obstructions. Too small blankets leave skin exposed, irritate the skin, and are uncomfortable to wear. Too large a blanket can rub blisters. The blanket can slip causing the animal to stumble. Insects and mud get underneath and become trapped.
Use a blanket when it rains or when the thermometer dips below 55 degrees. Start with a lightweight blanket. Between 30-40 degrees, most horses are more comfortable with a medium weight rug. Below 30 degrees, add a liner. Below 20 degrees, use a heavy weight rug with a stable rug as a liner.
