Horse Blanket Neck Covers And Combo Necks

Horse blanket neck covers and combo neck horse blankets help provide extra protection for your horse’s neck, shoulders and withers during cold, windy or wet weather. A detachable horse blanket neck cover is a handy choice for changing conditions, giving you the option to add coverage during chilly mornings, rainstorms or winter turnout and remove it as temperatures rise. Combo neck blankets have the neck piece built in, creating a more complete layer of warmth and weather protection from the poll down across the shoulders. Look for , waterproof and breathable turnout blankets with a comfortable fit, secure closures and enough room for your horse to move freely without rubbing. Insulated horse blankets with neck covers can be especially useful for clipped horses, senior horses, thin-coated breeds and horses that spend long hours outside. The right horse blanket neck cover should sit smoothly along the neck without pulling, slipping or restricting grazing and movement. Measure your horse carefully and check the manufacturer’s sizing guide, since a neck cover that is too tight can cause rubbing while one that is too loose may let in rain, snow and cold air. Features such as adjustable straps, secure snaps, hook-and-loop closures, waterproof fabric and breathable lining can make a big difference in comfort and everyday use. Before putting on a combo neck horse blanket, inspect the stitching, fasteners and lining for wear, then check your horse’s shoulders, mane and withers regularly for irritation. Clean and store horse neck covers according to the care instructions so they stay fresh, functional and ready for the next stretch of rough weather.
