The Great Quality Of Rhino Rugs

By Essie Osborn


Most horse or pony owners need a rug or two for their animals. Most owners like to have a warm winter turnout rug for the colder weather and a light weight summer turn out sheet. Using a rug helps to keep the animal clean and saves a lot of time grooming. Busy owners need to be able to ride without having to spend hours getting the mud and dirt out of the horses thick winter coat.

Every horse needs a tremendous amount of equipment. In addition to a saddle and bridle, they need grooming brushes, halters, ropes and at least one rug. When it is time to shop for a new horse blanket many owners turn to Rhino rugs. This company has been in business for a long time and is well known for their quality products and innovative designs.

One of the best places to shop for Rhino products is at the local tack store. They typically carry a wide range of rugs and anything else can be specially ordered. Owners may need something in a specific size that is not carried as standard. Particularly small and large sizes may not be stocked. However, most sales staff are more than happy to place and order and have the rug shipped in a matter of a few days.

The first thing that most horses do when they are turned out is roll. They usually try to find the wettest and muddiest part of the paddock then get down and enjoy a good roll. Those horses that are being used for competition will need to have a sturdy turn out sheet that is light enough to be comfortable but strong enough to stand up to a lot of wear.

Turnout rugs are one of the best sellers. Before making a purchase it is important for the owner to spend time really thinking about what their horse needs. If they are stabled at night they will probably not need the heaviest rug. They will typically be fine in a medium weight rug that is water and wind resistant. This will help to protect them against the worst of the winter weather. However, an animal that lives out all the time will need the top of the line heavy weight rug that is total water proof and can stand up to really harsh conditions.

Shoppers who are unsure of what they need should call the customer service department to ask for help. The experienced and knowledgeable sales staff can explain to them the features of each rug and help them decide which is the best. They can also help with sizing. Many people are confused and not sure which size to order. Having some expert help will take all the guess work out of this process.

Most Rhino products are easy to care for. Having machine washable rugs is a huge advantage. At the end of the season they can be laundered at home and stored in a special carry bag ready for the next time they are needed.

There are several different levels of protection available. Horses who live outside all winter will need the top of the line rug. This is one that is totally waterproof and also wind resistant. Owners must shop carefully to find one that really meets all their needs. Most blankets today are also available with a detachable neck cover. This offers extra protection and really keeps the horses very snug and dry.
