The Amigo Mio Is A Rug That Is Designed To Fit Most Equines

By Marcie Goodman


The different requirements for rugs for horses is quite a complicated thing to sort out. To get a rug that fits your pony or horse, stays in place and is tough enough for everyday wear is not easy. The amigo mio is a rug that is designed to fit most equines whatever their size or shape.

The mio is made from 600D polyester which seems almost flimsy but is as tough as any of the fabrics used for horse rugs. The light fabric combined with the patented front leg arches, allows the rug to fit snugly round any shape of horse. Once fitted this still allows plenty of room for movement like rolling, running and bucking.

Made in sizes to suit horses and ponies. It comes in all the normal weights and the striking two colour designs add to the choices available. Depending on whether you need a neck on your rug, you can have straight forward turnout or a one piece. The one piece includes a neck as part of the rug. This means pressure is spread evenly up the neck to reduce rubbing and soreness.

All the turnout rugs have double front fastenings with two surcingles crossed diagonally under the belly. The one piece also has two fastenings on the neck to keep it securely in place. Once these are adjusted properly to fit your horse, they hold the rug snugly round the animal with no loose parts to catch on fences and trees, with no restriction on the natural movements the horse may want to express.

For the summer there is also a fly rug which is of the same design, using knitted polyester material to protect from insects. This too has an integrated neck to give maximum protection. This comes in a fetching red and bronze mix with the shiny surface helping to repel the dangerous rays of the sun..

There has also been a stable rug range which offered various thicknesses including just a sheet, all with the same shape and a shoulder lining. Having just a single front fastener and a hidden tummy strap they give freedom and comfort whilst keeping your horse clean and warm.

No rug range would be complete without a fleece and this is no exception. Again available with or without an integral neck, these versatile rugs come in more standard colour choices. They can be used as a day rug, an under rug or for travelling as well as the normal use of keeping a wet or sweaty horse warm while it dries off naturally. Then for the summer their is the final rug a skrim rug for cooling a horse on a hot day, with solid and mesh panels to allow the horses skin to breathe.

So whatever your needs for your particular horse or pony, this is where the amigo mio comes in. With a rug for every purpose and a smart choice of colours, there is nothing more you and your horse or pony should require, keeping them clean, warm and protected all year round. So now you know what is available, you are able to find what you want even if it is not in your local store.
