Turnout rugs - brands that have smaller neck holes?

[fine_and_dandy]

Just looking at beginning my two yearlings new wardrobes for this year (no doubt the wardrobe will need upgrading again for next Winter!) and just wondered if anyone knew what brands tend to have smaller neckholes so that on a gangly yearling, there is little or no chance of it dropping below his shoulder and not fitting properly?

mmm yearling what??? breed seems to determine what brand rug sometimes!
cuddly ponies are quite good, though sometimes (depending on breed again) the depth is too much.

woops, yes important bit of info that I had forgotten!!

He is WB x TB and stands at around 14.2 atm.

try those. the necks seem to be a bit snugger than most i have looked at.
limited sizes there but you can pick them up on most sites.

I find that the rhino pony 1/2 necks fit my sec a really well around the neck where a lot of other rugs fail. and stay upright!

I have Amigos for my two. They're not particularly small necked but the necks do seem to be cut higher up. Masta and Mark Todd sit a little low.

Yes I would agree with the Amigos, they also seem to fit finer horses well so would probably be ideal for a yearling.

And if you get a rug to fit a 14.2, I can always take it off your hands next year, y'know, just to make room for the new ones!

I have an arab yearling who stands at 14.2hh and is narrow and I bought him a Masta Check tech and it fits him like a glove well worth a look.

Amigos for my lad- he's finely built, and some rugs just hang off his neck/shoulders- but they fit well and have never rubbed ...

I always seem to be on here saying how great Amigos are....i should ask for commission!

Most of the horseware ones come up fairly snug around the neck, especially the 1/2 neck ones and with the nylon lining they move forwards easily when neddies put their heads down to graze so they don't restrict the shoulders, etc as much as some.

I have a Mata checktech and they seem narrow. My boy is a 6' in other rugs but I bought a 6'3'' from somebody who'd bought it for their horse who's normally that size and it fits my boy well.

Ha ha!! Well T will end up having a pretty full wardrobe I imagine!!!

Ok, so ones to try are Masta, Amigo's and Horseware! And Weatherbeeta! Gosh I hope this doesn't turn out to be a long drawn out trial and error process...I think there is only so long Bailey will tolerate being, "dressed up" - he's always liked being naked

Amigo is Horseware

but I do agree they will probably fit the horse the best. Amigo, Rhino or Rambo depending on the money you have.
