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.

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.

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.

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.

Because many of the people that ride are women and girls their is a serious market for fun yet functional products. These riders are really doing their homework before making a purchase and do spend time comparison shopping. They want a rug that will stand up to really hard work and last for several seasons. Value for money is also a primary consideration.

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.
