Learning About Rambo Rugs From Horseware Of Ireland

By Jaclyn Hurley


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.

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.

A product description for the Wug includes facts about nylon for outer durability, thermobonded fiberfill for more warmth with less weight, antibacterial and anti-static polyester inner lining, patented V-front closure, high-cut neck to relieve wither pressure, tail flap for added protection and tail cord for more security, and reflective strips for safety. Oh, yeah, leg arches for added freedom of movement, and the Wug isn't designed to be used with liners.

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.

Maybe you want a snug fit for a foal, in which case you'll be glad to know that the ones from Horsecare 'grow' with the baby; there's an ingenious way to adjust the many Velcro fasteners to get just the right size to keep an energetic young animal warm and untangled. Of course, there's a wide color choice, so you and your precious foal can look handsome.

Tom and Carol McGuiness started Horseware with the Rambo, the very first turnout that was truly waterproof, fit securely without restricting movement of the neck and shoulders, and provided warmth without being too cumbersome for comfort. Their success changed the industry and made keeping horses warm in winter much easier than ever before. This task used to be difficult if not impossible, with the real possibility of rubbed shoulders, sore withers, or horses either too cold or bathed in sweat.

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.

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.
