Keep Your Horse Warm With Amigo Rugs

By Essie Osborn


Just about everyone today shops on line. It has the advantages of being very fast and easy. Most people, especially horse owners, are very busy and need to make the most of their time. Simply logging on to a sight and making a few clicks enables them to shop for just what they need. Purchases are then shipped to their home and are ready to use in a few days.

Horse clothing and equipment is also available on line. There are many sites to chose from as well as e Bay and other classified sites. The great range of Amigo rugs means that there is something to fit every horse or pony. From a tiny miniature horse to a huge draft animal, there are some excellent products that not only keep them warm in winter, but also cool in summer.

These products have a number of advantage over their competitors. One of the most important things is that they are designed by real horse people. These are folks who have owned horses and ridden all their lives and really know what is needed to make life easier and keep their animals clean and comfortable. It is this insider knowledge and commitment to excellence that really makes the difference.

A nice benefit of the new nylon rugs is that they actually help to polish the animals coat. This can really help to make them look good, even without too much time spent grooming. The six hundred denier polyester outer layer is wind and rain proof and also coated with a rip stop material. This prolongs the life of the rug as well as keeping the horse warm and dry in even the worst of winter weather.

Even in the summer time horses need a range of light weight sheets and blankets. These are typically used to keep a horse clean in the stable and to prevent them from being bothered by flies. Show horses also need to be protected from too much sun light. The newer sheets have built in UV protection that helps to prevent the coat from fading.

Even during the warmer summer months horses need several different types of blankets and sheets. Show horses typically wear a thin summer sheet to help keep the dust and flies off them. This is an essential part of their wardrobe and most animals will need a wash and a wear sheet. When they are stabled it helps to keep the bedding out of their coats and saves on grooming time.

After they have been exercised a hot sweaty animal will need a mesh cooler. These help to wick away the moisture and prevent chills and muscle tie up. It is very important never to leave a horse hot as this can lead to additional complications and even colic. The damp sheet should be removed and only replaced with a stable sheet when the animal is thoroughly dry.

All the blankets and sheets are available in a full range of sizes and colors. There are some great fun colors especially for ponies. The younger owners love to have something fun and funky for their ponies and it also makes them easy to find in a field full of animals.
