The Amigo Turnout Rug For Horses

By Marissa Velazquez


There are many excellent features that make the Amigo turnout rug one of the best sellers on the market today. Horse owners love the fact that these very affordable rugs will not only keep their horse warm and dry, but will last for several seasons. In today's tough economy everyone is looking for the best value for money.

The rugs are both affordable and practical. They are very well priced and can be purchased from either a retail outlet store or on line. It is both fast and practical to order on line and often there are offers such as free shipping and clearance items. Many times waiting for a new year sale is a great way to net an excellent bargain.

Owners that choose not to stable their animals in the winter will have to make arrangements to give them at least minimal shelter. Most people have run in sheds or field shelters where the horses can get out of the worst of the weather. These horses will also need a good thick blanket to keep them warm and dry. Rain is one of the worst things for horses. If they get soaked and the temperatures drop they can often suffer severe health problems.

Some of the best features are the contoured shape of the rugs. They are now made with the shape of the horse in mind. Traditionally horse blankets were made the same for decades. The heavy fabrics were difficult to handle and frequently leaked. They rarely made it through a winter because of constant dampness and rot. Today horse owners can enjoy a new generation of blankets that are rain and rot resistant, light weight and washable.

A thin skinned horse such as a thoroughbred will need one of the heavy weight rugs and maybe even a liner underneath. A more rugged breed of horse will probably be fine with a lighter weight set of rugs. Even when they are in the barn they will still need stable blankets suitable to their breed.

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.

Turn out and stable rugs are available from most retail horse stores. Many of these places have been in business for years and provide excellent service for their clients. Their staff are very helpful and can give customers advice on which is the best type of blanket for their needs. It is not worth buying a really thick one for a small pony who will stay quite warm on his own.

Many owners like to get a detachable neck cover for their horse. This provides extra protection for animals that have to live outside all the time. It also helps to keep them clean and save a lot of grooming time. Those who are competing in winter shows should invest in a range of Amigo turnout rugs for their horses to ensure they are clean and dry in even the worst weather.
