Turnout Neck Covers – Tailored Protection for Every Horse Build
At Epic Equestrian, we understand that a one-size-fits-all approach doesn't work when it comes to your horse's comfort and protection. That's why our Turnout Neck Covers offers fit-specific options to ensure optimal coverage and warmth for horses of all builds from sleek Thoroughbreds to broad-chested Clydesdales.
Why Fit-Specific Turnout Neck Covers Matter
Horses come in various shapes and sizes, and a poorly fitting neck cover can lead to discomfort, rubbing, or inadequate protection. A well-fitted neck cover ensures:
- Enhanced Comfort: Reduces the risk of chafing and rubbing.
- Optimal Warmth: Prevents heat loss and maintains body temperature, crucial for clipped or thin-coated horses.
- Improved Stability: Stays in place during turnout, even in windy conditions.
Available Fit Types
To cater to the diverse needs of horse owners, our collection includes:
- Regular Fit: Designed for horses with standard necks, such as Thoroughbreds, Warmbloods, and lighter Cobs.
- Broad Fit: Tailored for horses with wider necks and shoulders, including Cobs, Irish Draughts, Shires, Clydesdales, Iberian and other broader breeds.
Versatile Options for All Seasons
Our neck covers are available in various weights to suit different weather conditions:
- Extra Lightweight (0g): Ideal for mild, wet days when minimal insulation is needed.
- Lightweight (40/50g/100g): Provides a touch of warmth for cool, breezy spells without bulk.
