This rug .... can anyone explain?

[onemoretime]

Nothing to add except to say your pony is beautiful

Yes, agree. He has a really pretty little head.

Aww thank you both. He is the coolest dude ever!

It's equineonesie - historically schmwae (sp?) Jessica Clarke so enough said

Oh Lord, is she still on the go? God loves a tryer!

I've given up on white stockings until April at least. We have orange stockings now.

I'm in a bit of a dilemma though - mine needs his fuzzles (not quite "feathers" - they're more like fluffy ankles - neither one thing nor t'other) clipping off so the mud doesn't stick so badly, but to do that I need to clean them up enough that I don't murder my trimmers. I'm contemplating washing his legs, then popping each one into a duvet cover and gaffa taping just above the knees. Then I can trim them the next day! What can possibly go wrong.*

*joking, don't panic. But I actually don't have any better ideas yet.

Bandage. A showing friend did clingfilm and bandages to keep Beau's legs clean for a show (plus lots of talcum powder, he was bone dry when that was done)

My cob has 2 (so one can be washed/drying), shhh! He wears it with a 'normal' (no neck) rug and it does a good job at keeping him clean and dry. It's not padded so not crazy hot- in this weather (living out) he's clipped and out in 100g plus this neck, if it's colder a 200g PE combo rug without this neck. It’s still the best part of an hour to get him clean for public display, and if it’s below freezing then a write off!

Its supposed to have a standard neck rug on top as someone above says, it needs to be loose in the neck to allow the horse to stretch down without dragging on the withers or mane. That one does look terribly bulky though as you say. My pony has the Snuggy Hoods version which fits wellView attachment 130631

Cool name

I use the snuggy necks like yours on Louis but only when his been clipped or he gets too hot, they are really good for keeping them clean and as long as you fit them right they work.
