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 from cold, rain, dirt and mud. Some protect from insects or ultraviolet rays. A properly fitted blanket doesn't slip or leak. Turnout blankets must be waterproof. Blankets must be the right weight and fit to protect from the elements while allowing complete range of motion. Sheets are for protection from dust and dirt, but don't add warmth. Cooler sheets insulate against chills after exercise on cold winter days.
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.
A blanket keeps show animals from growing a thick winter coat. It also keeps the coat clean. Of course any animal visibly shivering should immediately be covered. Like people, colts and fillies and the elderly get chilled easier than healthy adults. An animal with a clipped coat, or one recently moved from a warmer climate, may need a blanket when other local animals are comfortable without.
Horses need at least 1 sheet and 1 turnout rug. In cold climates, they need an inner blanket as a liner for warmth, and a waterproof turnout rug. Contagious and expensive to cure skin diseases will spread quickly if your animals share blankets. Each should have their own set, preferably 2 sets so 1 can be washed while the other set is worn.
Oversized rugs rub, causing blisters. They can slip causing a fall. Dirt and insects are trapped inside the liner, causing further irritation. Too small blankets leave skin exposed to the elements. They rub uncomfortably causing pain and blistering. A blanketed horse should be able to lower its head to graze, and lift its tail without obstruction. Your hand should fit inside the blanket at the withers. Determine size to by measuring from the center of the chest to the tail along the side of the animal. If the measurement is an odd number, or if your horse has a thick coat, round up.
Horses outside in the rain need a waterproof rug. Between 40-55 degrees, a lightweight blanket is sufficient. Upgrade to a medium weight when the temperature is in the 30-40 degree range. Use a heavy weight rug and a liner when it's 20-30 degrees. Below the 20 degree mark, blanket with a stable rug liner and a heavy weight turnout rug. Colts, fillies, and the elderly are more sensitive to cold than healthy adult animals.
