Steve’s favourites
The Rambo Travel Series
A must-have for those who regularly travel their horse to shows and events. It has been specifically designed to offer the highest comfort for a horse whilst in a lorry or trailer; featuring a contoured, highly-wicking quilted top section, with cosy thermo-bonded fibrefill to keep key areas warm in transit. Perforated net sides allow for maximum airflow to avoid overheating, and the extra-large tail flap protects the horse’s quarters from rubbing.
Amigo Plant-Dye Turnout
The Amigo Plant-Dye 50g Turnout harnesses natural dyeing practices, so that the water used within the production process can be recycled and reused again. The colourway of this rug is dyed with the natural Isatis root pigment, which is derived from the same plant from which indigo dye is made.
More sustainable than other styles yet equipped with all the superb features Amigo are known for, the Plant-Dye Turnout Rug is a great choice for the eco-conscious equestrian.
Amigo AmECO Bug Buster Fly Rug
The AmECO Bug Buster is constructed from recycled plastic bottles, giving waste a second life; 149 bottles are recycled to created one standard sized fly rug! This knitted rPET fabric is sustainable, breathable and soft. Offering strong sun reflecting properties, this fly rug is perfect for warm-weather outdoor wear. The rPET polyester material is strong, durable, and fully comparable to standard polyester fabric. The production process requires less water, fewer chemicals, and produces 65% less greenhouse gas emissions than the production of virgin polyester yarns.
Rambo Protector Fly Rug
Crafted to offer maximum breathability, while still providing high levels of protection against flying insects and UV rays. Engineered from a breathable, durable unique, patented, self-repairing fabric with a shine-enhancing lining to minimise rubbing.
Designed to cover as much of your horse as possible, the Rambo® Protector has a generously sized detachable neck cover, extra depth at the knees and extended belly flap. This, combined with a supersized tail flap, helps to prevent those pesky flies and harmful UV rays reaching your horse’s skin.
More from Steve
“The most important thing to me in my life is the well-being of my horses. I want them to be comfortable, to have the best quality hay and the finest rugs. I want them to have freedom and space in nature.”
Steve Guerdat
When my horses are at home, I don’t want them to be treated like humans or like top athletes. I just want them to be treated like horses and I want them to feel like horses. This is my number one philosophy.
Steve Guerdat
We are travelling around the world for up to 45 weeks a year. Our most important responsibility is to make each journey as comfortable as it can be for our horses so they are in top condition and ready to compete when they arrive.
