The best blankets for the outdoors

Almost 2 years ago, I had to retire my 19 year old horse as he had serious allergies to dust and hay.

After a lifetime in stables going out a few hours everyday day in the field then coming back to a comfy stall, I had to make sure that being out 24/7 would not be a problem. There already was a medium sized shed in the field which I enlarged with the help of family and friends. But as horses do tend to stay outside even if it rains, I wanted a good blanket that would hold in any kind of weather.

After buying a cheap light blanket and seeing the lining torn after a few weeks, I decided to go back to the best of the best: the Rambo rugs. 

I had bought my first Rambo with the money I received on my 18th birthday and gave it to a friend more then 10 years later, in an impeccable condition. So I bought Rambo again, a Rambo wug lite in beautiful purple. And my big plum of a horse has been more then happy since then.

Rambo is an Horseware Ireland brand that I recommend with a 100% confidence. The price tag is a bit high but worth it, and for those who prefer to start smaller, they also have more affordable brands like Rhino. If you have a delicate horse you need to leave outside often, this is a great product to have. 

Hope this helps, 

Enjoy and protect your ride!
