The Truth About The Amigo Turnout

By Eula Nichols


The amigo turnout is a product of Horseware Ireland Company that was started in 1985. Tom and Carol Mac Guinness felt that they could create a better cover for horses and did so. The horseware products that they designed became the industry standard for many different styles of horse sheets.

The people who purchase this cover for their horses rave about how good it is. The special features included it offers make it a leader in the field of horseware products. They find these products to out perform their expectations and the experiences they have had with other covers.

The reason for this superior performance is partly due to the company motto of Innovation not Imitation that drives every improvement made. Each process used is constantly examined and explored for ways to improve them. Most of these processes are protected by registered trademarks and patents for name and production systems.

The high consumer ratings given to these horse covers come from the strict attention to design and construction that they receive. They are water resistant as well as light and warm. They are made of fabric designed to breath to help prevent your horse from sweating and to wick whatever moisture that naturally occurs out and away from the horse to protect its coat.

Horse owners know that the proper fit of a cover is paramount. If it is too small or too large it will not stay in the proper position on the animal and may cause chaffing on the coat. The adjustable straps that are found on these covers assure that it will fit properly if the horse has been measured carefully.

Another aspect that consumers appreciate is the cost of this horse cover. It is very reasonably priced and reportedly will last for several years without mishap. The Rip Stop nylon outer shell prevents tears from nearly any source and is designed to prevent raveling or fraying in the event a snag does happen. All stress points and bindings are double stitched for extra strength and durability.

The horse cover is meant to be worn in wet winter weather to keep your horse warm and dry. It also serves to protect their coats and prevent the horse from growing a shaggy winter coat. When horses spend time in the weather their health can suffer so these coats can keep them from getting respiratory problems from cold and wet exposure. For summer use it protects the coat from fading in the sun and protects it from straw and sticks that can cause wear marks under the sheet.

The weather and terrain, although important, cannot be the only consideration for purchasing an amigo turnout blanket. Other considerations may be the temperament of other horses he is boarded within the pasture or whether or not he rolls in the dirt or scratches against fences or trees. The proper fitting cover will help minimize any problems that may result from these issues. When purchasing a cover considering all of these factors should help with your decision.
