Horseware Ireland Ltd has an excellent reputation. Some would say they set the industry standard. They strive to innovate, not imitate. All products undergo periodic reviews to make sure they're made using the latest and best materials and design options. Amigo horse rugs are budget friendly, high quality, comfortable and safe for horses to wear.

Blankets protect from cold, rain, dirt and mud. Some protect from insects or ultraviolet rays. A properly fitted blanket doesn't slip or leak. Turnout blankets must be waterproof. Blankets must be the right weight and fit to protect from the elements while allowing complete range of motion. Sheets are for protection from dust and dirt, but don't add warmth. Cooler sheets insulate against chills after exercise on cold winter days.

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.

Measure from the center of the chest to the tail along the side of the horse. Order the same size as inches measured. For odd sizes or if your horse has a thick coat, round up. Check fit by slipping your hand between the blanket and withers. You should be able to reach the shoulder. Be sure the horse can lower his head to graze comfortably, and lift his tail to eliminate without obstructions. Too small blankets leave skin exposed, irritate the skin, and are uncomfortable to wear. Too large a blanket can rub blisters. The blanket can slip causing the animal to stumble. Insects and mud get underneath and become trapped.

Use a blanket when it rains or when the thermometer dips below 55 degrees. Start with a lightweight blanket. Between 30-40 degrees, most horses are more comfortable with a medium weight rug. Below 30 degrees, add a liner. Below 20 degrees, use a heavy weight rug with a stable rug as a liner.
