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.
