Researching Rambo Rugs Takes Time

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.

If you really do want to put in the time, get ready for a long session. You might want to get a bottle of water and a snack. Start by searching Rambo turnouts and you'll get hundreds of retail sites, so begin with Horseware of Ireland. You can always come back to the retailers when you know what you want.

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 for the Wug and other turnouts. They come in light, medium, and heavy weights. You'll find a complete assortment of blankets, sheets, and coolers for every purpose in the Horseware line, as well as a wide choice of color and size.

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.

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.

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.
