Amigo Horse Rugs Provide Outstanding Value

By Kendra Hood


Owners are finding that Amigo horse rugs provide excellent value for money. Most horses and ponies have at least one rug and often more. It really depends on how much work the animal is required to do and weather on not they live outside. Many people like to keep their animals stabled in the cold, wet winter months as they stay clean and it cuts down dramatically on grooming time.

Horses are very hardy animals who can withstand very cold temperatures. They do this by growing a thick winter coat, however if they are being ridden they will sweat profusely and take hours to cool off. In fact, it is quite easy for the animal to catch a chill and become sick if they are frequently left hot and sweaty in a cold stall.

The Amigo company recognized these problems and knew there was a ready market for a new improved design. So, they went right back to the basics and completely redesigned horse clothing. Gone were the thick heavy fabrics and difficult fasteners, to be replaced by state of the art light weight materials and easy to use closures. These are so much easier to use especially on cold winter nights when fingers are freezing.

One of the best factors about the new style turnout rug is that it is waterproof. It is important to really read the package carefully as some lighter models are merely wind and rain resistant. These are perfect for horses who only goes out in fine weather. However, for an animal who stays out most of the time a truly waterproof rug is necessary. Although they cost a little more it is well worth it to have the peace of mind that the animal is dry and comfortable.

The Amigo company has been at the forefront of horse clothing manufacture for many years. They have gone back to the drawing board to develop a totally new line of rugs that are cut to fit a horses body shape properly. This eliminates the old problem of rubbing and chaffing that left many horses with bald areas particularly on their chest and shoulders. The new style of rug is loaded with great features that makes it very user friendly and easy to care for.

Even during the warm summer months most horses need a few light weight cotton turn out sheets. These help to keep them clean, but also stops a light colored horse suffering sun bleaching in the strong light. The flies are also a serious problem that can lead to itching and rubbing. Keeping the horse covered with an easy to was stable sheet saves a lot of work.

The new Amigo designs also help to prevent stress and pressure on the animal. They are cut in a much more generous way and specially contoured to fit the animal properly. Horses are very active animals and are practically never still. The rug must fit well and not move around too much. Thick Velcro fasteners and well designed leg straps help to keep the rug in place despite rolling and running around the field.

Equestrians can be assured that an Amigo rug is a good buy. The cut and contours are made to fit the unique shape of the animal and eliminate pressure points. The new range of winter turnout blankets is getting excellent reviews as they are warm, lightweight and affordable.
