This Is Where The Amigo Mio Comes In

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.

The rugs have double chest fasteners, two crossed surcingles in the tummy area and on the one piece two large Velcro fastenings to secure the neck, When fitted properly this arrangement secures the rug to the horse to avoid slippage and there are no loose flaps to catch on hedges and trees. All this is achieved while still allowing the horse plenty of room for natural movement like running, rolling and even throwing the odd buck.

Turn out rugs are not the whole story either. The mio range includes a fly rug with integrated neck which protects your horse or pony from all manner of insects, while the knitted material keeps it cool and protected from the harshest of the suns rays. The bronze with red trim gives a pleasing appearance for mot horses.

There was also a range of stable rugs with just one front fastener and a belly strap. These come in a range of weights and colours too and all have an inner silky shoulder protection. These will keep your horse snug, warm and clean whilst in the stable.

Another part of the collection is a fleece. This adaptable rug can be used for layering in winter, as a day rug or for keeping clean, warm or cool whilst travelling. They are also ideal for drying the sweat off a hot horse in the cold weather, and to complete the range their is also a skrim rug for letting a hot horse cool naturally on the hotter summer days.

When you really do not know where to start to get your horse the right rug, the amigo mio is a rug that is designed to fit most equines and is a good place to look. Once you find that one rug fits your particular pony or horse, you now know you can get everything else you require from the same range, in a choice of different colours. If your local suppliers do not have want you want you can now search until you find it.
