Best Buys On Amigo Turnout Blankets

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.

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.

For many years horse clothing was very difficult to take care of. The materials were stiff and could not be washed. This meant that they had a very short life and many were ripped and quickly had to been thrown away. Horses tend to play rough and will often grab the other horses rugs and pull on them sharply. In addition, they quickly rotted and were not waterproof.

Using a good turn out blanket will also save hours of grooming time. Horses that are ridden in the winter are often clipped to remove their heavy winter coat and prevent excessive sweating. They will need several blankets to compensate for their loss of coat. A good water proof outdoor rug is essential. There are many different thicknesses of blanket available.

Most of the new rugs are made from strong but light polyester. This makes them not only easy to use, but they repel water and dry quickly. They are treated with a combination of products that makes them truly wind and water proof. At the end of the winter they can be machine washed and line dried. Most people find they can get season after seasons use out of every rug.

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.

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.
