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 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.
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.
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.
