Do they stop stable stains?

My grey has turned into a skewbald since moving yards- I cannot change his stable around so he doesnt poo on his bed- on his previous yard somehow he always poo-d in the same place and never slept on it.

Now- he does still poo all in the same place, but that happens to be in the centre of his bed

....soft grass poo is squashing through his cooler/fleece and frankly its driving me insane.

Could this garment save my torture?

The best thing is probably a light weight turnout rug as the waterproofing with stop the poo going through the rug

My horse is big on pooing and it goes straight through the rug but he also manages to get it under too!

Have one, and it was thick enough to do so... aren't there pyjamas or so available for that sort of thing though?

No they, definitly don't stop stable stains. My friend bought one for her grey in the hope that they would and they don't. Lovely rugs though.

I have this one in a different colour. Poo stains go right through it, though. Would also recommend a lw turnout, if poss.

Thanks peeps- thats forty-odd quid you've saved me.

Will stick to the old tried and tested LW ( got plenty of those, the poof hates the rain)

Damn! Nice rug . Can't you find a wee use for it anywhere at all?

Damn! Nice rug .

It is a lovely rug. My OH bought one for the boy for his 17th Birthday (Ludo's not OH, I'm not into human kids!). Completely unhorsey OH bought it completely without any assitance or even knowledge from Ludo or I and got the right size!!

No it doesn't stop stable stains, but it is being good at preventing bird poo sticking to hair. Ludo is used fairly regularly as target practice by the swallow babies that are nesting in the rafters above him - suppose it means I don't have to pick the poo off his back
