The Amigo Mio Is A Solution To A Lot Of Rugging Problems

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.

They are manufactured from a type of polyester that appears quite flimsy, yet it is as strong and hard wearing as any other material used for this purpose. The use of this light fabric means the rugs can fit snugly around any shape of horse. Added to the front leg arches which are a patented design, this produces neatly fitting rugs that still allow for all the natural movements of the animal such as rolling, kicking and galloping.

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.

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.

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.

To complete the collection there is a fleece which can also come with an integrated neck. The colours are more subtle and they can be used for travel, layering or as a day rug as well as for cooling a sweaty horse. Finally if you prefer there is a skrim cooler rug which consists of solid and mesh panels for cooling off in the warmer weather,

Whatever you are looking for in a rug to suit your animals needs the Amigo Mio is a solution to a lot of rugging problems. Once you know how well they fit you can find the right rugs for your every need.
