This turnout rug suits horses that spend a lot of time in the field and owners who want a tough outer fabric with a neck cover, in a colour of their choice. The three fill weights let you stick with the same model for every season. It suits any horse that is turned out, whatever the discipline.

If fastenings that release under pressure matter to you, or you are looking for a 250 g version, choose the Horseware Amigo 1200D FieldSafe Plus Turnout. For an outer rug with two liners in one go, the Horseware Amigo 1200D Plus Turnout bundle is the alternative. For more warmth, Maddelin stocks the Horseware Rambo 1680D Plus Turnout with Vari-Layer in 250 g and 450 g.

Measure your horse as Horseware describes: from the centre of the chest, over the point of the shoulder, to the centre of the tail. Subtract 10 cm (4 inches) and choose the matching size. At Maddelin a size reads as 145/195/6.6: first the Horseware size in cm, then the length in cm, then the size in feet and inches (6'6"). The Surefit neck design and V-Front closure help the rug sit close around the chest.

The 0 g is a rain sheet for mild, wet weather, the 50 g is intended for transitional weather and the 100 g gives a little more warmth. Horseware does not give temperature ranges. So look at your horse: a clipped horse or one that feels the cold needs more than a horse with a full coat. Check regularly under the rug at the shoulder and flank.

When it gets properly cold, you do not need to buy a second rug straight away: use the liner loops to attach a Horseware liner under the turnout rug. These liners are sold separately. Attach the neck cover with the hood loops in wind and rain or when you want to keep the neck clean.

Place the rug on the back, close the V-Front first, then fasten the three crossed surcingles, leaving a flat hand's width between surcingle and belly. Attach the tail cord or tail strap and clip the neck cover into the hood loops if you use it. Wash at 30°C with hook-and-loop closed and straps fastened, line dry and avoid the tumble dryer, bleach and iron. Store the rug dry in a breathable bag.

Is a neck cover included with this Horseware rug?
Yes, the detachable neck cover is included. You attach it with the hood loops and take it off when you do not need it.

Which fill do I need?
The 0 g is a rain sheet with no fill, the 50 g is intended for transitional weather and the 100 g gives a little more warmth. Horseware does not give a temperature range; your horse's coat and whether it is clipped play a part in the choice.

Is this the same rug as the Amigo Bravo 12 Plus?
At Horseware the 0 g and 100 g versions are officially called Amigo Bravo 12 Plus Turnout, the 50 g Amigo 1200D Plus Turnout. All three have a 1200D outer fabric and a detachable neck cover.

Can I use a liner underneath?
Yes. Use the liner loops to attach a Horseware liner. The liners are sold separately.

Does the rug have leg straps?
The 50 g has leg strap loops. For the 0 g and 100 g, Horseware does not mention leg straps. All versions have three crossed surcingles.

How do I wash this turnout rug?
In the machine at 30°C, with all hook-and-loop closed and straps fastened. Line dry away from direct heat. Do not bleach, iron or tumble dry. Horseware recommends professional cleaning.

How does it differ from the Amigo 1200D FieldSafe Plus?
Both have a 1200D outer fabric and a detachable neck cover. The FieldSafe Plus fastens at the front with a disc, has surcingles and a tail cord that release under pressure and also comes in 250 g. This 1200D Plus has a V-Front closure and is available at Maddelin in three colours.
