Learning About Rambo Rugs From Horseware Of Ireland

By Jaclyn Hurley


Learning about Rambo rugs is like going back to school - or maybe forward to school, since the science of keeping horses warm/dry/fly-free is always advancing. There's a lot more to learn than how to throw the blanket over the horse and buckle up the straps. However, there's a short cut for those who want it. Customer reviews help when you're trying to find the best way to invest your money and get a good return.

Say you want to learn it all. Well, get a bottle of water and maybe a Hero sandwich and settle down to your computer. This may take a while. Start by searching for Horseware of Ireland, the originator of these industry-leading turnouts.

Product description for just one rug will be something like this: snug fit, superior warmth with less weight, layers of nylon outer, thermobonded fiberfill, and polyester antibacterial and anti-static inner lining, a patented V-front closure, high-cut neck for less wither pressure, tail cord and flap, reflective safety strips, and leg arches as standard features. Not compatible with liner systems.

Of course, maybe you're looking for a stable rug, which will have other details. There are light, heavy, and medium-weight turnouts, fly sheets, exercise and cooler rugs, Wugs, travel blankets, and accessories in addition. All of the Horseware blankets have special features that make them arguably the best on the market.

Maybe you want a snug fit for a foal, in which case you'll be glad to know that the ones from Horsecare 'grow' with the baby; there's an ingenious way to adjust the many Velcro fasteners to get just the right size to keep an energetic young animal warm and untangled. Of course, there's a wide color choice, so you and your precious foal can look handsome.

Tom and Carol McGuiness started Horseware with the Rambo, the very first turnout that was truly waterproof, fit securely without restricting movement of the neck and shoulders, and provided warmth without being too cumbersome for comfort. Their success changed the industry and made keeping horses warm in winter much easier than ever before. This task used to be difficult if not impossible, with the real possibility of rubbed shoulders, sore withers, or horses either too cold or bathed in sweat.

Customers write about Rambos lasting eight years, even with horses that seemed determined to find every projection that could tear or every mudhole that could abrade the outer layer. Fortunately, there are ways to clean and re-waterproof turnouts, repair kits for sewing up tears, replacement hardware, and other aids to keeping a rug year after year.

You can see why this might take a while. However, maybe your time will be better spent in choosing the right size for your particular horse. The folks at Horseware really have figured out all the other details, even up to how to re-fit a rug when your horse gains a pound or fifty. You can trust these people to give you a well-fitting turnout that will last for years; they guarantee them for three, but people will tell you they last much longer.
