Taking Rambo Rugs 101 And Beyond


By Jaclyn Hurley


If you really want to research Rambo rugs, expect to spend quite a lot of time in front of your computer. These industry-changing turnouts and other types of horse blankets have so many features and options that it's like going back to school. However, you can also rely on the expertise of Horseware of Ireland and the testimonies of thousands of satisfied customers, limiting your efforts to choosing the right size and color.

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.

Get ready to read something like this: Snug fit, less weight and more warmth with a layer system of nylon outer over thermobonded fiberfill; polyester antibacterial and anti-static lining, patented v-front closure, tail flap and wipe-clean tail cord, high-cut neck to eliminate wither pressure, leg arches, reflective strips, (not compatible with liner system.)

These are standard features on just one rug. You can continue on to other descriptions for light, medium, or heavy field blankets. Perhaps you're looking for a stable rug, a fly sheet, a Wug, a cooler, a travel blanket, an exercise rug, or a removable hood.

For fun, check out the foal blankets that 'grow' with the youngster. Velcro fasteners make getting a perfect fit easy no matter how fast the baby is growing in height and weight. The wide belly flap keeps the baby warm and snug without straps that might tangle delicate legs. If adult horses gain weight, there are chest expansions to allow a little more room.

Customer reviews can help a lot, if you just want to take Horseware's word for the fact that their products are the best on the market in design, materials, fit, durability, and appearance. After all, Tom and Carol McGuiness succeeded in making the first truly waterproof, breathable, well-fitting, and very warm turnout. Ever. It used to be hard to keep a horse warm and dry out in the field, without finding it drenched in sweat under the blanket, soaked by rain, or tangled in the straps and clips used in an attempt to keep everything in place.

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 take the time to really understand the options beforehand, using videos on fitting a blanket and customer reviews to help. You'll find that the folks at Horseware really know their stuff and truly want to give you and your horse what many consider to be the best gear in the industry.
