The Amigo Turnout Rug For Horses

By Marissa Velazquez


During the cold winter months many people need to purchase a thick warm blanket for their horse or pony. This is especially important for the breeds that do not grow a thick winter coat or for an animal that has recently been moved north. It takes several years for them to make the adjustment and in the mean time they will benefit from an Amigo turnout sheet or rug.

Some breeds of horses, particularly thoroughbreds, do not grow a thick winter coat. They often need some extra help to stay warm and getting them a thick rain proof rug for when they are turned out in the field is an excellent idea. Owners will not have to worry about finding their animals shivering in the rain or snow again.

The rugs are very well made from high quality materials. This helps them to provide some of the best value for money on the market. Equestrians have ranted them so highly they are among the best sellers year after year. The company went right back to the drawing board to totally re design the look and feel of horse clothing. The results have been outstanding and the blankets really speak for themselves.

The new fabrics are not only rot resistant and water proof. They are also made from breathable fabrics and the six hundred denier outer shell is wind proof and lightweight. They are easy to take care of and can be washed in a commercial washing machine. At the end of the winter season most owners will take some time to properly wash their horses blankets and carefully pack them away for use the next year.

The new generation of rugs have been completely re designed with both style and comfort in mind. They have a contoured shape that is great for the horse and prevents rubbing and sore spots. Traditional horse blankets often left the animal with bare areas, especially around the shoulders. This not only looked bad but could also cause discomfort to the horse.

The latest fastener system is also thoughtfully designed to not only keep the rug in place, but also prevent pressure points on the horses back. This is an important feature especially as the horses will be rolling and galloping around whilst turned out in the field. Having rugs that stay in place is crucial for safety and durability.

Before purchasing a new turnout rug it is crucial to measure the horse or pony properly. Most measurements are taken from the front of the chest all the way to the back of the tail. If the owner is not sure how to do this the customer service department will be able to help. They can then refer to the sizing chart and get the best fit for their particular animal.

Some Amigo turnout rugs even have bold designs which makes the horse easy to spot in the herd. It can also help the stable staff match the correct rug to each horse and save them a lot of time.
