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.

The mio is made from 600D polyester which seems almost flimsy but is as tough as any of the fabrics used for horse rugs. The light fabric combined with the patented front leg arches, allows the rug to fit snugly round any shape of horse. Once fitted this still allows plenty of room for movement like rolling, running and bucking.

The rugs are available in sizes to fit most equines and all come in the usual variations of weight and warmth. There is a choice of colours and design with a normal, or a one piece design, which has an inclusive neck. This is cut from the same piece of material as the rug and the beauty of this is that there is no seem or join across the lower neck to cause pressure or rubbing.

All the turnout rugs are secured with double front fastenings, diagonally crossed surcingles across the belly and where a neck is included, double fastening to hold the neck securely. Properly fitted the rug will hug your horse allowing no loose edges which can become caught on fences or hedges. While this is snug around the horse it does not restrict the movement of the horse in any way.

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.

So whatever your needs for your particular horse or pony, this is where the amigo mio comes in. With a rug for every purpose and a smart choice of colours, there is nothing more you and your horse or pony should require, keeping them clean, warm and protected all year round. So now you know what is available, you are able to find what you want even if it is not in your local store.
