Amigo Bravo 12 Wug Medium Blanket 72 Storm Green

I bought this blanket a few weeks ago for my (very) high-withered aged TB, and I couldn't be more pleased with the fit. Where other blankets would cause painful rubs over his withers and/or shoulders, this one doesn't cause any pressure spots there at all, and there's a visible difference in his comfort level and quality of movement. He's not afraid to run and play in the field anymore with his turnout buddies. This blanket is durable and has stood up to his younger pasture buddy's repeated attempts to take it off. It is waterproof and cleans up well. It's one of the best purchases I've ever made in horse clothing, and definitely worth it!

I really love the fit of this blanket. It fits my higher withered, 15.2 hand quarter horse amazingly! I bought him the 78 after trying the 78 on in the Rhino Wug blanket, but the Rhino was much too big for him. The Amigo's shorter drop was perfect for his big body, but short frame. I can tell there will be no wither rubs this year!

I am using the 400gm (heavyweight) on both a 17h TB with typical TB build (size 81) and a moderately stocky 16.1 QH cross (size 78). I'm very happy with how it fits both horses. No pulling on the TB's deep shoulders, the high neck keeps the pressure off the withers and keeps them cozy, and the blankets are sturdy and good quality. I'm a fan of the chest closure and the reflective trim on the blankets.

My horse is only 15 hh, but he wears a size 81 blanket, and has a HUGE neck and shoulders. This fits him great, and I love the high-neck style (he has a long mane, and it doesn't rub). I love the front closure, and I never worry about the blanket shifting or straps coming undone.

I was worried based on other reviews of Horseware products and the fact that you can't adjust the front that this blanket wouldn't fit well or hold up well but I am pleased to say this is probably the best blanket I've ever bought! My 16.1 OTTB gets shoulder rubs and wither rubs from the usual Weatherbeeta blankets so I'm always apprehensive buying new blankets for him. I pulled this out of the bag and put on it on him and it was like a glove! Loose in the right places, snug in others with just the right amount of hind end coverage. I will say that he has a deep girth and you can just see the bottom of his belly under this blanket but it's nothing that will cause him to be cold. Can't rate durability yet but it feels and looks like other blankets I've had that have held up well. It does come with a tail strap but it also comes with rings for leg straps so I just ordered some replacement leg straps ($10) to go with it and it works great. Definitely recommend for the long lean ones or horses who just don't fit in the traditional Weatherbeeta.

Finally replaced the old blankets I bought used in college with a medium and heavy. My guy had an amigo wug before and I'm really happy to have them again. I love that the wugs give some neck coverage, since Midwestern winters can be harsh and my barn is not big on extra clothing, like neck covers. The blankets have places to attach leg straps, but only come with a tail strap, which sent me scrounging for straps off old blankets to hold it in place during turnout. I wish they came in more colors, since I find it easier to tell people what color blanket to put on, than which weight. This probably isn't that common of a problem, though

I bought this blanket for my draft cross. I should have sized up a bit to help cover his broad backside, but for a qh or tb this blanket would be a perfect fit. I like how the clips on the front clip high on the chest to prevent rubs. Here's the issue with the clips: the clips are like the ones you would find on a double snap. I originally fastened the clips with the opening facing out because I thought it would be more comfortable for my horse to have the smooth side of the snap against his chest. One morning as I was leading the horses out, I heard a commotion in the barn. I ran back in, only to find that my gelding had some how managed to clip himself to the stall gate with the clips on the front of the blanket. He was quite panicked but calmed down when I approached. It took me several minutes to unclip him from the gate. I was so grateful that it happened while I was in the barn and I was able to help him. I turned the clips around so the smooth side was out and didn't have further problems, but still worried about it constantly. I felt like an idiot for not realizing that this could happen but I didn't see any warnings on the package stating the dangers of not clipping the front properly. If you don't have grated stall gates this would be less of a concern, but it's still good to be aware of it. I'm sticking with buckles from now on.

This is a nice blanket. I have the Rambo version of it, and I could tell the features that they cut to save money - one less belly strap, one less velcro strap on the chest, the tail cord isn't as nice, and the cut is shorter. Overall it is still nice and I think the price is good. With the different cut, though, it didn't fit my horse as well as I had hoped it would, so I returned it. But, it is worth a try for others!

Fits my tb well but poor stitching. After less than a week of wear, stitches along the trim have popped. The tail strap stitching gave out on the second day of wear.

I have used the Amigo Bravo line for three years. The first two winters were amazing and they were cheap enough that I didn't mind the small holes. My young horse was growing and would need new blankets each year anyway. Well, this is the third winter and the quality of this blanket has seriously declined. The medium and heave weight blanket interior lining rips along the seams within a week. The exterior begins to get holes quickly, too. One medium was damaged so badly within a month of use I had to decommission it. A friend at the barn (who I originally recommended these blankets to because they had performed so well) is having the same issues with her blankets. It is frustrating and I will not purchase this line again.
