Pam Sellers tested the neck covers on Charlie her 16.3hh Warmblood gelding. He is a typical Warmblood shape with a large head, and a well developed neck and front. He is in at night and out in the day in an electrically fenced field.

Design and Fit: 4.5
Performance: 4.5
Value for Money: 4.5
Overall verdict: 4.5

 

What’s great?

Pam said, “A well-made neck cover from a heavyweight fabric with a small amount of stretch. All the stitching is done in zig-zag stitch to enable the fabric to stretch – very clever. It has a chunky, part zip so needs putting on over the horse’s head. The eye and ear holes are well-placed and the satin mane saver prevented the mane being rubbed. It’s ideal for turn out, keeping your horse clean and dry in light rain. Providing it fits snugly and the mane begins on the correct side, it will flatten the mane. A lot of thought has gone into this reliable, durable design.”

What’s not so great?

Pam said, “The Snuggy Hood will let the wet through in heavy showers leaving a tide mark. It will protect plaits, but because it doesn’t have as much stretch as the Lycra styles, it may ruffle the hair a little.”

    Good? It keeps horse clean Not so good? I got the same size he has always worn and it was to large around the neck but just the correct fit on the head. If i had gotten a smaller size it wouldnt go over his head. He is a lightweight hunter with a petite face so couldnt understand why this happened
