Great Value With Rambo Rugs

By Essie Osborn


Equestrian products provide a multi million dollar industry every year. There are many thousands of barns, both large and small, all over the country. Some people like to keep their horse at their own private barn, whilst others prefer the convenience of a full service livery yard. What all these owners and riders have in common is that they are always in need of top of the line products to keep their animals clean and healthy.

Owning horses can be an expensive business. They need large quantities of food, plus stabling, pasture and veterinary care. In addition to all this riders need their own equipment. This ranges from basic riding gear such as an approved helmet to saddles and bridles for their mounts. Most horses also have several different rugs to keep them dry and clean. Rambo rugs are one of the most trusted companies in the business.

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.

During the summer months a show horse will need as light stable sheet. The primary purpose of this is to keep the animal clean and free of dust. It can also help to stop the flies bothering the horse when they are out in the field. The new sheets are also available with UV protection. This can be very helpful for an expensive show horse. Horses are like people their hair can bleach and fade in the summer sun and this is not always a good thing.

The outer layer of a turn out rug are coated with substances that make them water proof and wind resistant. This means that a horse living out in even the worst of weather will remain dry. Most people like to remove the rug at least once each day to ensure that it is correctly fitted. This also allows the owner to look over the animal for any sign of injury. All this can be done very quickly with the handy snap system which is very easy to use.

Mesh coolers are also an important part of the show or competition horses kit. They are typically made of a light cotton fabric and allow the air to circulate but also prevent that back area from becoming chilled. Coolers are available in a variety of fun colors and styles.

Many children love to dress up their pony in something a little brighter than usual. There are some really great pony rugs that are in bright colors with bold designs. In addition to their visual impact they are also great for picking out a particular animal in the field. They are so easy to spot at a distance.
