Established in 1985, Horseware Ireland Ltd. Is well known for its quality products. Company policy is "innovation, not imitation". Every product is periodically reviewed. High quality materials keep equines warm and dry. High quality design ensures comfort with a secure fit. Amigo horse rugs are designed to offer quality at an affordable price.
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.
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.
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 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.
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.
