Horseware® Rambo® Duo Turnout Blanket
Two blankets in one, the Rambo® Duo allows you to choose the level of warmth needed for your horse. This waterproof and breathable outer ballistic nylon shell with 100 grams of thermobonded fiberfill comes with a neck cover and a 300g detachable liner. When the detachable liner and outer shell are combined together, you have a 400g weight blanket perfect for the blustery cold. Additional liners are available (sold separately), making for a perfect blanket on cool to chilly days.
Front and rear Leg Arches™ allow freedom of forward motion and prevent extra fabric from gathering around your horse's legs as he or she moves. The Euro-Cut no-slip design with three removable surcingles allows the depth of the blanket to contour to your horse's shape and provide extra coverage under the belly. The patented 'V' Front closure system is easy to use and allows the blanket to be carried on top of the shoulder rather than the point, allowing the blanket to move as the horse moves. Velcro and clips allow you to attach the inner liner to the outer shell without extra bulky straps. The inner liner and outer shell operate as one unit – no more shifted and disheveled under-blankets.

Fitting Your Horse's Blanket:
The fit of your blanket is extremely important to the comfort of your horse. An improperly fitted blanket can cause rubbing and slippage. Horseware® blankets are Euro-cut, and the sizes do not run the same as other manufacturers' blankets.
Measuring Instructions:
Stand your horse as square as possible, and measure from the center of chest around side of the body to the point of the horse's rump just before the tail. If your horse ends up measuring between sizes, always round up to the next size to ensure full coverage.
Washing Instructions:
To keep your blanket as comfortable as possible for your horse and to maximize the blanket's life, it is recommended that you clean your blanket annually. First, remove excess dirt from the outside of the blanket with a brush and hose. The blanket can then be washed either by hand, or on a delicate cycle with cool water in a commercial washer. Use only very mild soap. When the blanket has been washed, allow to drip dry and ensure that the blanket is thoroughly dry before storage. Do not put your horse's blanket in the dryer or wash with hot water. Do not store your horse's blanket if damp or wet. This will damage the waterproof coating and void any warranties.
Horses Turned Outside Without Shelter:
XXXXXX Turnout Sheet and Blanket materials are waterproof and designed to keep your horse dry. However, if your horse is turned out in a field without a run in shed or shelter during prolonged rain or heavy downpours, your horse may still get wet, especially in the neck and tail areas.
When using a blanket or sheet, it is critical to monitor the fluctuating climate and temperatures, even with a blanket that is waterproof and breathable. The wicking properties of a breathable blanket are designed to wick away normal body heat. When a blanket is too heavy, the heat and moisture cannot be wicked away fast enough, causing your horse to sweat. The temperature and the length of your horse’s coat will determine what weight of blanket you should use. For this reason, most people who choose to blanket horses have several articles of horse clothing that offer varying levels of warmth.
