It's like going back to school and doing a research project when you decide to learn about Rambo rugs. These turnout blankets - or stable, travel, cooler, exercise, or fly rugs - have set the standard for the industry. The history of the company is interesting and the details of design, materials, and durability are absorbing. However, you can also find customer reviews for a simpler way to validate the claim that Rambos are the best money can buy.
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.)
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.
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.
If you simply decide to rely on Horseware's expertise, check customer reviews to narrow your choice. Owners write about using the same turnout for eight years (the guarantee is three) with regular cleaning, re-proofing, and repair with needle and thread if the rug gets torn. There are informational videos that show you how to do maintenance and repairs to get the most out of your investment. You can buy re-proofing spray and repair kits from retailers to make the tasks easier.
You can see why this might take a while. However, maybe your time will be better spent in choosing the right size for your particular horse. The folks at Horseware really have figured out all the other details, even up to how to re-fit a rug when your horse gains a pound or fifty. You can trust these people to give you a well-fitting turnout that will last for years; they guarantee them for three, but people will tell you they last much longer.
