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 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.
Measure from the center of the chest to the tail along the side of the horse. Order the same size as inches measured. For odd sizes or if your horse has a thick coat, round up. Check fit by slipping your hand between the blanket and withers. You should be able to reach the shoulder. Be sure the horse can lower his head to graze comfortably, and lift his tail to eliminate without obstructions. Too small blankets leave skin exposed, irritate the skin, and are uncomfortable to wear. Too large a blanket can rub blisters. The blanket can slip causing the animal to stumble. Insects and mud get underneath and become trapped.
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.
