Rugs with Veerrryyy Long Necks

[measles]

Our boy is let's just say a tad long and I need to get him another heavyweight turnout and stable rug. The only thing I've found so far that goes anywhere like his poll is a Premier Equine.

Any other thoughts? Needs to be in a 6'9.

I have just bought a Weatherbeata and the neck seems to be really long on that but then again I have a small horse. Not sure what it would be like on a big ned. I think you're best bet would be the PE rug as they have long necks and they hug the neck at the top (if you know what I mean?) which I quite like.

Don't the mark todd ones come with very long necks to protect the horse when their heads are down grazing?????

Just looked and I thought so:

Thanks for your responses. I have a few liveries who have the mark todd rugs and they're not anything like as long as the PE ones despite their claims. Nice rugs though. I've had the stable ones for ponies in the past.

i think if you get the mark tood with the necks that atach seperatley they come up longer as they have the adjustable straps?

My rhinegold has quite a long neck on my tb who has a neck of giraffe like proportions

)

That does look long, toomanyhorses. I'm afraid I may be a rug snob but I always thought Rhinegold rugs would leak and fall apart but perhaps not? I love Fals but the necks don't look at him.

Mine has lasted two winters so far - been toasty all time (v wussy tb who has spent most of his life inside

) tbh I only bought it has the horse came to me a bit suddenly and I needed a rug quick . I have the full neck stable as well which is even warmer - stbale I bought on ebay for £12 inc p and p

I had a real problem with the rhinegold that they were really long but like mini skirts (really shallow), they left her belly open and cold! And she's a tb x warmblood!
