Winter Rugs with a Neck

A winter rug with a neck provides your horse with extra warmth and protection during cold and wet days. The neck prevents rain and wind from penetrating and keeps the mane and neck warm. At Dochorse, you'll find winter rugs with a fixed neck or a detachable neck piece from top brands like Bucas, Rambo, Amigo, and Kentucky. Available in various weights, from light to extra warm.

A winter rug with a neck is the perfect choice for the cold months. Besides protecting the back and belly, the rug also shields the neck and mane from rain, wind, and cold. This prevents your horse from losing heat through the neck, keeping them warm even during the harshest winter days.

Why choose a winter rug with a neck?

  • Extra protection: keeps the neck, chest, and mane warm and dry.
  • Suitable for clipped horses: prevents your horse from quickly growing a thick coat again.
  • Protection against rain and wind: waterproof fabrics ensure rain does not penetrate.
  • Prevents chafing: soft linings protect the mane from friction.

Fixed or detachable neck

At Dochorse, you'll find winter rugs with a fixed neck for maximum protection, as well as models with a detachable neck, offering flexible use depending on the weather.

    Frequently asked questions about winter rugs with neck

  • Why should I choose a winter rug with a neck?

    A winter rug with a neck offers extra warmth and protection. The neck prevents rain, wind, and cold from penetrating and also keeps the neck warm. This is particularly useful for clipped horses or horses that spend a lot of time outdoors.
  • What is the difference between a fixed and a detachable neck?

    • Fixed neck: offers continuous protection and cannot be removed.
    • Detachable neck: you can attach or remove it as needed, depending on the weather and your horse's requirements.
  • Are winter rugs with a neck suitable for clipped horses?


    Yes, they are ideal for clipped horses. The neck prevents your horse from quickly growing a thick winter coat again.

  • Are winter rugs with a neck always waterproof?

    Most winter rugs with a neck are waterproof and breathable. However, always check the rug's specifications to be sure.
  •  Can a winter rug with a neck damage the mane?

    With good quality rugs, this rarely happens. Many models are lined with soft materials like smooth nylon or faux fur, preventing friction and breakage. Be careful not to put a neck piece on a sweaty horse, as this makes the inside damp and rough, causing the mane to break off.
