Huge neck covers?

[gordo]

What do other owners of giants do for neck covers? I have a 7'o Rambo Duo with removable neck cover that isn't big enough and just bought a 7'3 off ebay and its too short and the velcro just stood there and laughed at me!! Do other peeps find this?

Lloyd is between a 7' and a 7'3, and has a premier equine rug and the neck cover is perfect, and the rug is only a 7'

Premier Equine are generously sized on the detachable neck covers but the integral ones are often too short for big horses (think Steve posted about this last week?)
I have the opposite problem: small cob with short fat neck Her neck covers always end up covering her ears and make a convenient rain - hat!

I have also put a premier equine neck cover on the rambo rug as the neck cover which came with the rambo was too short - same two velcro attachments. I bought a premier equine neck cover of the sale page for £7.99 about a month ago to use with a swish rug (another good rug)

I have an Amiego fly rug that has a neck for Apollo, its a 7ft and the neck fits great. Do they do turnout rugs too? I don't know, as he does have one lol!

again premier , fits barney a treat with room to spare on the neck and its got a unique design to stop it from ruffling down,

Horses don't need neck covers ( not even the thinnest skinned TB's ) they ruin their manes and are not necessary . As long as they are warm over their backs chest and loins that's all that matters.

does when you have a 17hh giraffe plastered in mud and only 10 mins to tack up, i hate mud in mi eyes, and its the only time of year barneys mane dunt look like a bog brush a good fitting rug shouldnt rug anywhere, ,

Hey Jen, there was a time----------not too many years ago when neck covers didn't exsist Certainly not when I was still riding. However did we manage ?? We groomed xxx

I'l be chipping off the mud all over this winter! lol! Apollo has said "I will NOT wear a rug" and bit me just to make sure i understood!lol!

My premier equine rug is with the detatchable neck cover, not sure about the intergral one

[steve]

My Premier Equine rug is the 'detachable' one, and so is Austins, and both barely do up around their necks! They would be long enough if it weren't for the elastic!! If they move their heads, up down etc, the neck cover moves back and stays back because of the blinking elastic!! Plus their manes are slowly dissapearing, so I am tending to agree that neck covers are bad news!!

Casper was always clipped and he never had a neck cover until recently, but being a grey they are a Godsend!!

Gordo - I have a Masta neck cover you can have if you like. It was used on my Massive Shire X who I sadly lost this year and it is no longer needed.

I am planning to take all my old stuff from my big man and my old TB (Lost both this year very sad) to The horse trust in Buckingham and still will as soon as the weather settles down. But happy to rehome some bits to good homes.


Its Black by the way...

haha!! If my bf didnt moan so much i dont think i would bother shaving my legs much in winter, its an extra layer of warmth haha!!
Decided i better start brushing my hair, and my mum cut it, it was getting into big matts underneath, yuk! It is however, a birds nest over weekends, complete with bits of mud, hay and horse food!
