Excellent Quality Rambo Rugs For Horses

By Essie Osborn





Horse owners all over the country are looking for top quality products at good prices. They need to know that whatever items the purchase for their animals they can count on getting lots of wear. From the smallest Shetland pony to the largest Clydesdale draught horses there are lots of great items of horse clothing in fun and exciting colors.



The trend towards dressing horses in a winter rug is quite new. It used to be that only horses who were used for work or competition wore a rug during the colder months. Horses are very well equipped to handle even extreme temperatures and really do well on their own. Yet when great new products like Rambo rugs hit the market many owners realized they could save a tremendous amount of time by not having to brush large amounts of mud from their horses coat every time they want to ride.



Rambo is the brand name of the rugs made by the Horseware of Ireland company. As their name implies each rug is made to be extremely tough. A host of additional features have been incorporated that owners and riders love. These include light weight nylon denier finishes that provide warmth without bulk.



Traditionally horses wore winter blankets that were very heavy, prone to rot and practically impossible to keep clean. They could not be machine washed and often allowed in water. Horses were left standing in damp clothing and this led to many secondary skin problems. In addition the old style rug was not cut generously enough around the shoulders. Rubbing and bare skin were frequent problems that not only looked bad but could lead to permanent marking on the animals skin.



The use of nylon has been a revolutionary part of the development of the new generation of horse clothing. Nylon is not only light, but also very warm. A winter rug will contain various levels of nylon filling that is very effective at keeping the animal warm. It also prevents rubbing and pressure points.



Even during the summer a horse will also need a light rain resistant turn out sheet. These are very helpful for an animal that needs to be ridden regularly. Once the horse is wet it cannot be ridden until it is thoroughly dry. Putting a saddle on a wet horse will cause rubbing and sores very quickly. These can take many weeks to heal and are prone to returning.



Having a washable rug is so important. It not only prolongs the usable life of the rug, but helps to keep the horses skin healthy. The nylon lining is revolutionary as it not only prevents rubbing but actually helps to improve the quality of the coat.



Rambo is one of the most trusted names in horse clothing. They have a complete line of rugs for every season of the year. From a snug water proof winter rug, to a light summer sheet that will keep off the dust and flies as well as offering ultra violet protection.
