By Marcie Goodman


The different requirements for rugs for horses is quite a complicated thing to sort out. To get a rug that fits your pony or horse, stays in place and is tough enough for everyday wear is not easy. The amigo mio is a rug that is designed to fit most equines whatever their size or shape.

It is made from a polyester 600 D, This fabric looks quite feeble but is equal at least to most other fabrics used for this purpose. Using the lighter material in conjunction with the patented design of the leg cutouts at the front, means the rugs can sit closely around the horse, without limiting it's movement in any way.

The turnout rug comes in a large range of sizes for ponies and horses. The normal range of weights are available and there are some good colour combinations. There is also a choice of normal turnout or a one piece turnout, which has an integrated neck. As the neck is part of the complete rug, it does not put extra pressure on the bottom of the neck which can rub or cause discomfort.

All the turnout rugs have double front fastenings with two surcingles crossed diagonally under the belly. The one piece also has two fastenings on the neck to keep it securely in place. Once these are adjusted properly to fit your horse, they hold the rug snugly round the animal with no loose parts to catch on fences and trees, with no restriction on the natural movements the horse may want to express.

The brand also has a fly rug which fits in the same manner and has an integrated neck to ensure full protection from the annoying insects and flies.Made from a knitted polyester with a bronze finish, this rug also protects from harmful sun rays. With it's red trim it makes a very fetching example for any horse or pony.

There has also been a stable rug range which offered various thicknesses including just a sheet, all with the same shape and a shoulder lining. Having just a single front fastener and a hidden tummy strap they give freedom and comfort whilst keeping your horse clean and warm.

No rug range would be complete without a fleece and this is no exception. Again available with or without an integral neck, these versatile rugs come in more standard colour choices. They can be used as a day rug, an under rug or for travelling as well as the normal use of keeping a wet or sweaty horse warm while it dries off naturally. Then for the summer their is the final rug a skrim rug for cooling a horse on a hot day, with solid and mesh panels to allow the horses skin to breathe.
