Amigo Horse Rugs Provide Outstanding Value

By Kendra Hood


Amigo horse rugs have receive outstanding reviews from owners all over the country. They are carefully designed to fit the exact contours of a horses body. In addition they are made from only the highest quality fabrics that will last for many years. Most of the products are also machine washable making them very easy to keep clean.

A traditional rug was very heavy and practically impossible to keep clean. They were made of an outer shell of thick canvas lined with blanketing material. Although they did the job there were often a number of issues. These included the animal being rubbed on the chest and shoulders from the friction of rough fabric. The rug was also prone to leaks and dampness, leaving many animals cold and uncomfortable.

Because of the problems associated with working horses in winter most people opt to have their animals clipped. Clipping removes the thick heavy hair and allows the animals to be exercised in comfort. Yet once their warm protective hair has been removed they need at least one rug to keep them warm. In the past few years an new range of light weight but very warm clothing has been developed for horses.

Even horses that are stabled need to be turned out into the field every day to stretch their legs and let off steam. This also allows them to socialize with other horses and prevents boredom. A good turn out rug is very important. Owners should look for something that is not too heavy, but still provides wind and water resistance. Horses that live outside all the time will need a rug that is totally water proof.

There is nothing like the adorable combination of a little girl and her pony. Many youngsters love to dress up their much loved mount with a bright pink or purple show sheet. Not only is it very distinctive, but it helps them to keep track of all their equipment at the show ground. Amigo is leading the way with the production of an extensive range of wonderfully bright yet still practical rugs for ponies.

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.

Additional leg straps will stop the rug from blowing up over the horses back in the wind. The new nylon fabrics are very light and can often be machine washed. This gives them a significant advantage over the older heavy blankets. The new lining actually help to polish the horses coat for extra shine.

The Amigo brand is available in many local retail outlets. Riders and owners should check with their local tack store. Alternatively they can shop on line and have the new rug shipped to their home or barn.
