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.
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 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.
