Best anti rub vests/under rug?

[ecrozier]

Sadly trying to think ahead for winter my old girl lives out 24/7 which really suits her but obviously means she spends all her time in her turnout rug. She's a fairly finely built warmblood and doesn't grow a huge coat so wears a heavyweight rug most of the winter and then when it goes sub zero I add an underrug.
I do readjust it every day and check her but it did still rub bald patches last winter, so I'm wondering if an anti rub vest might help? Any suggestions of either good underrugs that don't rub or best anti rub vests?

I found that a Bossy Bib (spelling?) really worked well as it is silky & thin & will stop rug rub - tested on a horse with huge shoulders who always got rug rub otherwise.

Hello,

I bought a Bossy Bib last year for our section A who was clipped out as his shoulder was getting rubbed badly It really helped and the hair grew back and no more rubs It has satin type feel to it so doesn't pull on the hair if the rug moved.They were also inexpensive as I remember.

I have this problem too with my very sensitive skinned chesnut. No matter what rug I put on she always get huge rub marks on her shoulders. I have found the only vest that works for is a Bossy Bib (google them) I have had no rubs since one of these and she has the wear under every rug she wears. Also keeping that area super soft and shinny by spraying it with coat shine works too.

Another vote for the bossy bibs
