Amigo horse rugs are made by Horseware Ireland Ltd. Established in 1985, this company quickly became the industry standard. Their policy is "innovation, not imitation". Products are continuously reviewed to make sure blankets are made of the best materials, comfortable for the horses, easy for the customer to handle, and with an affordable price tag.
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.
Stable blankets protect stabled equines from cold weather. Use indoors or as an extra layer under a turnout. Turnout blankets are designed to stand the wear and tear of outside time. Amigo turnout rugs are waterproof, breathable with a nylon lining, come in 3 weights and include the option of adding a hood.
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.
In moderate climates, horses will need at least 1 stable sheet and 1 turnout rug. In cold weather, add an inner liner for extra warmth, with an outer layer that protects from rain and snow. Two sets are recommended so 1 set can be washed while the horse is wearing the other set. Blankets shared between horses can spread contagious skin diseases. Best that each horse have his own sheets and blankets.
Determine size by measuring from the center chest to the tail. Measure along the side of the animal. Inches measured is the size to order. If an odd number, round up. Also round up a if your horse has a thick coat. To check fit, slip a hand under the blanket at the withers. Also be sure your horse can lift his/her tail unobstructed, and lower his/her head to graze without discomfort. A too small blanket leaves skin exposed to the elements, is uncomfortable, even painful to wear. A too large blanket rubs the skin causing blisters. Mud and insects get trapped underneath. It can even slip causing the horse to slip or fall.
At 40-55 degrees, most need a lightweight blanket without a liner. At 30-40 degrees, move up to a medium weight blanket. If recently clipped, or young or old, add a light liner. At 20-30 degrees most need a heavy rug with a medium liner. Below 20 degrees, use a heavy rug plus a stable blanket.
