Horse riding stimulates positive psychological feelings. Being outdoors and in contact with nature helps you clear your mind and relaxes your body. Riding on a horse, and feeling the gentle caress of the wind on your face is something special. This is not what you usually experience in the busy city streets. This is why leisure riding is greatly encouraged by experts as a form of therapy.

A proper sporting horse has a good stance and built perfect for long walks and leisure riding. But, no matter how strong they look, they can still catch diseases brought about by the unfriendly weather. Good thing, Amigo Hero is now here. This is a protective blanket creates especially to protect horses from the harsh weather.

Blankets and covers should be made comfortably airy and waterproof. A cover made from the Amigo brand I guaranteed of the finest standards. It is made of 600 by 600 denier polyester threading, which is perfect in making bags, tents, outdoor covers, and now, for horse blankets. It is made for comfort but in a stylish manner, suitable for show horses.

A material can be called waterproof if it passes the standard measurement for Hydrostatic Head test. It should at least reach one thousand and five hundred millimeter of the permeability marks. Fabric permeability is tested by placing water columns in a fabric and increasing the water pressure level of the material. This is made until the water breaks into the fabric. The water column is then measured for permeability on the fabric.

Horses should be comfortable inside the rugs thus, breathabillity required. In cold conditions, the material breathability is reduced to nearly zero. Colts and mares still perspire even in cold weathers. This is why, both the outer and lining of the fabric should be breathable.

Breatiful and strong as they are, these equine animals also need to feel comfortable and safe. High breed horses are very popular for sporting events like show jumping and polo. These are very relaxing sports, especially for athletes who are in it for an adventure. Though most people enjoy leisure riding, there are more ways to enjoy riding on top of beautiful mares.

Whatever you do, safety is most important to think about. Proper dress code should be followed. Riders at a young age, are required to wear high visibility eyewear and a safety hard hat for safety purposes. This will protect the head from getting hurt if you fall off while on top of a horse. You are also not allowed to ride alone if you are not skilled enough.

Wearing body protectors and a durable shoes prevent injury, in case your mare would stomp on you. A rider also has to feel the mood of his animal. You should never ride a pony that you cannot handle. There are wild ones that only trained riders can handle.

Your welfare and protection is most important above everything else. Horse sports should be enjoyed in a fun and safe environment, both for the rider and the animal itself. It works both ways for you to be able to experience the importance of harmonious living with animals.
