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.

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.)

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.

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.

You can rely on the design and durability of Rambos. After all, Tom and Carol McGuiness were the very first to achieve a truly warm, waterproof, breathing, well-fitting turnout - and thereby changed the industry forever. It used to be a real struggle to keep horses warm and dry at the same time. Waterproof coverings could become sweat baths, while warm woolens became soaked when it rained. Layers of cotton liner, wool blanket, and waterproof sheet were hard to keep 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.

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.
