My Rambo Wug has been going strong for nearly a decade.

It snowed today, a sure sign of impending winter. As I was pulling out my blankets, I reflected that my Rambo Wug heavy weight blanket is about to start it’s 9th winter. Pretty impressive, given that my horses live out 24/7 and are not known for being kind to their clothing. While I’ve had to make some minor repairs to the blanket, it still looks great.

I’ve now used this blanket on two horses. I bought it originally for my warmblood gelding. He wore it for several seasons until he simply outgrew it. I now use it on a TB. I find that it has fit both quite well. My warmblood is quite wide, especially through the shoulders, and this is one of the few blankets that hasn’t rubbed him. My TB is not so wide but is very hard on his blankets. This never slips, despite his antics. I really like the higher neck option and never felt the need to add a separate neck attachment. The added height around the neck seems to keep them warm and dry.

The blanket is quite breathable. Even when the weather has warmed up, when I’ve come to check my horse he’s not too hot.

The quality of the blanket is quite good. The material is strong and durable and resists tears. I’ve had no problems with the lining. I love the fastening method at the front (clips not buckles). They are very easy to open or fasten, even one handed.

Rambo blankets are initially expensive, but I’ve found that this one was very good value. I don’t have many blankets that look this good after so many years of use!
