Anyone else's horse hate neck rugs?

[saddlesore]

I try to be kind to my horse (who is wintering out this year) and keep him nice and cosy with a neck cover (LW before anyone freaks out lol) and he looks like I am trying to garrot him.

Bloomin horse!

Is mine the only weirdo........... ?

Do you think its worth persevering with since he's living out?

I only put a neck rug on my horse if his neck is fully clipped and thats only when its p****ng it down. He doesnt mind the neck but i have to make sure it is loose on him because he gets swollen glands sometimes if its to ''snug''.

put one on my lad and even if hes clipped he just rubs constantly even when the ground iced up

I totally don't know if i should persevere with 'making him like it

' or if i should just give up? Don't want him to drop loads of weight and don't want to have to bring him in?

My horse is a weirdo too - you are not alone!!

He is an older boy so I thought I was being nice with wrapping him up - he CLEARLY had other ideas as everytime I put any rug on with a neck he immediately bites at the shoulders, and is in a grump until it is taken off and a 'neck-less' one put on!! That told me!!!

Lol- mine is far too scared of EVERYTHING (

) to try and bite his, instead he stands there like a rabbit in the headlights with mad eyes! Its so annoying. I wish you could explain its for their own good!
