Researching Rambo Rugs Takes Time

Saturday, March 22, 2014

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.

It'll take time to become familiar with the full line of stable and field wear offered by Horseware of Ireland. There's a lot to read and understand about the innovative cut and fit, the kind of fasteners used, the materials that make the blankets warm but not bulky, and the various accessories that come with them.

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.

If you have a foal, you'll be glad to know that the folks at Horseware have figured out a way to get one blanket to fit perfectly throughout the growing stages of a baby horse. Ingenious Velcro fasteners make adjustments easy, and a wide belly band replaces straps that can tangle young legs. The streamlined look and wide color choice means that foals will look stylish out in the field.

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.

If you want validation for the expertise of Horseware of Ireland, look for customer reviews. Horse owners love to tell others about their experiences, and there are thousands of owners out there very happy with their Rambos. Reviews say that turnouts have lasted eight years or more, with regular cleaning and re-proofing and occasional repairs with patches, needle, and thread.

Your time might be best spent in choosing the right fit, weight, and color for your new rug, whether it's for inside or out. The Rambos are guaranteed for three years, but owners will tell you they last much longer even under heavy use. Horsewear has even figured out a chest extension to help if your horse gains weight and the fit becomes a little snug.
