Rambo Rugs

Advantages: Light, warm, dont slip, never rub, horses seem to like them and dont try to get them off. Excellent value for money.
Disadvantages: Expensive to buy, although I believe they are extremely cost effective.

...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 that beacuse it was lightweight that it would be easier for my horse to tear and rip...I was wrong. He loved it, it kept him really cosy, it never slipped despite my horse cavorting around and showing off to his mates. When I took...

Review of Rambo Turnout

Rambo Supreme turnout rug

Advantages: good fit; warm
Disadvantages: my rug was faulty; poor customer service.

...Unfortunately, on the Rambo Supreme I bought there was a fault in the manufacture of it and the neck cover kept detaching and falling off. I contacted Horseware several times, but they didn't respond at all. I eventually had to go to the Irish version of Trading Standards and suggest legal action before I got a response. Horseware then declined to replace the faulty rug and eventually 'repaired' the original one that had never been right from the start, which wasn't what I wanted. The whole thing took almost a year to resolve, and I had to buy another rug/neck cover for my pony in the meantime. Horseware didn't appear to me to be apologetic or concerned about the inconvenience or expense I'd been caused. I was very disappointed that such an expensive rug had been faulty when I bought it,, and even more disappointed that the level...

Review of Rambo Turnout

Rambo rug

Advantages: Completely waterproof and non slip
Disadvantages: Pricey

...My heavyweight rambo turnout rug has been nothing but fantastic since i purchased it. From day one its been completely waterproof in all kinds of weather, its never slipped despite some extreme rolling by my horse and my mare has happily lived out 24/7 with her clip and stayed lovely and cosy. It hasnt snagged on any of the fences either and nor has any of the other horses left any snags on it whilst they were playing The down side is the price.. over £100 is a lot to pay out at one time but my rug is over a year old and looks and acts like new still so they are good investment. One point is that they seem to come up quite deep on some horses so seem to fit well on the types with bigger barrel body or deeper girth as it does come quite near to my mares knees!...

Review of Rambo Turnout

Rambo Rugs for your Rug Thug

Advantages: Breathable, comfortable, waterproof and hardwearing.
Disadvantages: absolutely none

...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 complete rug thug and every rug he's had before has ended up in a muddy torn heap in the middle of the field, but not the Rambo. I think it has more to do with the comfortable fit and he isn't restricted in any way when wearing it, but whatever it...

Review of Rambo Turnout

Horseware Rambo supreme heavyweight turnout rug

Advantages: snug horse, less worry, more time - hurrah!
Disadvantages: None

...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 wear rugs to protect them. Sadly I am not fortunate enough to be able to check on my horse throughout the day so when thinking about getting him a new cosy winter rug I needed to be sure that it would be safe for him to wear all...

Review of Rambo Turnout

Rambo

Advantages: read opp
Disadvantages: read opp

...Rambo 4, starring Sylvester Stallone was the fourth instalment of the famous Rambo series, and was released in 2008. The film was a huge box office success grossing well over $100 million worldwide. Being a huge Rambo fan, I had been waiting years for another Rambo film, and having watched this fourth instalment many times I was not disappointed. Many people have criticised the film for its instance violence and cruel nature, however for me this personifies what the Rambo films are all about, guts, blood, weapons and death. Little Background info on John Rambo: I thought I would include a section about the character of John Rambo, who he is and his story that way people get a sense of what this film is going to be like. John Rambo is an ex Vietnam War Veteran who fought for America during the Vietnam War. Rambo's character was...

Rug-tastic!

Advantages: gr8 fun
Disadvantages: none

...Roads Play Rug..... Argos sell these rather large rugs for a good price of £10. We bought one for Jack so he could use his rather large collection of cars playing on the roads that are printed on the rug. Jack totoally loves it and it was well worth themoney. The rug is about 1 ½ meters by 1 meter and the colours are mainly grey and green because of the roads and gardens that are drawn onto the rug. There is also a lot of buildings drawn in on the rug too such as the police station, school and hotels. The rug is perfect for playing on and a good tough material that will take a lot of mess. I found cleaning the rug with carpet cleaner easily and hassle free and in these messy days of Jack spilling things I am also protecting my carpet underneath. The rug seems huge to Jack and he is able to spend a lot of time travelling...

Review of Learning Carpets My Hometown Rug

Rambo, Russians & Afghans

Advantages: Trautman!
Disadvantages: Stallone is wooden and hard to understand

...Take an awful idea then cast a really bad actor who can't talk. And you have Rambo III. Even the title is wrong. We had First Blood and First Blood Part 2. So this is First Blood Part 3. NOT Rambo 3. Not unless they changed the titles of the previous 2 films and never told anyone. Anyway, now that small rant is over lets talk about sex. Well, I wish I could but I've got to review this pile of rubbish first. We start by catching up with Rambo in Thailand and he's earning some money taking part in Mu Tai Stick Fighting so he's a hustler. But he never keeps his winnings, he gives it to the monks because he's living and helping out at a Buddist temple as an odd job man. He's approached by Colonel Trautman and always "cast as a baddie" Curtwood Smith to go on a mission to Afghanistan to help some local rebels fight the Russians. He refuses...

Review of The Rambo Trilogy (Box Set) (DVD)

King of the Rug

Advantages: Tough, effective, fit
Disadvantages: Not cheap

...This may not be the cheapest rug in the world but boy, is it effective! Rambo rugs are part of the Weatherbeater company, a manufacturer with a fantastic reputation for quality. Rambo is one of their sub lines and includes a diverse range from fly rugs to heavy weight turn outs. Rambo turnouts come in a range of weights so that you can build up an enormous collection of rugs to suit any foible of the British weather! If you are smarter than me, you would probably stick to a lightweight, a heavyweight and then just layer as necessary! I bought my example in the heavy weight in a 6' size to use on a Welsh Cob. The material it is made of is really thick, with strong stitching and binding. It is also very robust and can withstand serious levels of rolling, mutual grooming and finding the one sharp bit on the fence to rub on...
