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.
Protect your horse with a stable blanket while it's in the stable. When you turnout your horse, change to a durable, waterproof turnout blanket. All Amigo brand turnout rugs are waterproof with a breathable nylon liner. They come in 3 weights, with or without a hood. If extremely cold, use a stable blanket as a liner.
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.
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.
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.
