Rambo Turnout

Horseware Rambo supreme heavyweight turnout rug My horse is a sensitive soul, needing to be wrapped up warm in the winter and shielded from the flies in the summer. So he is rugged up for 90% of the time! For all you non-horsy types a rug is a coat that covers the horse's body from his shoulder to his tail, fastening under his belly and round his chest. Some horses particularly the finer types racehorses for example have been bred over the years to have finer coats that no longer give them enough protection against the British weather. So both in the stable and out in the field they need to ... more

Before I start, I should mention that this review assumes you are familiar with horses, their care and rugs. I realise that may not be true in some cases but I can't imagine many of you without horses would be interested in these products! I have owned horse wear/ rambo products for several years now and cannot praise them highly enough. Background Rambo turnout rugs are made by Horsewear, Ireland, a successful equine (and now also human) clothing manufacturer, which has been in business for over 20 years. They also produce indoor rugs, most notably the Rhino and horse acssesories (travle ... more

Two of my horses have to be clipped each winter to be ridden, and both horses have had a brand new rug in peices within half an hour of wearing. They hate wearing rugs, and have cost me a fortune over the past 10 years! Someone suggested I buy a Rambo rug, and I laughed when they told me the cost. I was convinced I would be flushing 145 pounds down the drain. This person was so convinced that I wouldnt, that she leant me one of hers to try and was happy to accept the consequences! My first thought on the Rambo rug was that it was too light, and would slip, or not be warm enough. I also thought ... more

I just can't praise Rambo rugs highly enough. Two of my horses have Rambo Turnouts on all through the winter. They both live out with access to a dry shelter and the rugs only come off when I ride them, about twice a week in winter. These rugs are warm and comfortable, they never slip and are completely waterproof. On the coldest night of the year you can slip your hand under these rugs and your horse will be as warm and dry as toast. It doesn't matter if it gets soaked as it will just dry with the heat of the horse and its completely breathable. Then we get to toughness. One of my horses is a ... more

I have 2 rambo turnout rugs, the standard rug and also the wug, the wug is the one with attached neck cover/hood. Both of these rugs are of superb quality, having owned them for 2 years I have just had them washed and re-proofed and they look as good as new. The shiny inside material is excellent for making your horses coat shine!! I use my rambo's on both my old mare (21 years young) and my youngster who is only 3 and neither of them have any rips or tears at all. The main advantage of the rambos are that they are both indoor and outdoor rugs that let the horses skin breathe - so more ... more
