Shires Highlander Original 50 Horse Neck Cover - Blue - Small

The 50g fill provides a light layer of insulation, creating a buffer between the horse and the outside elements. It helps to maintain comfort during milder weather without causing overheating and assists in managing moisture by adding a layer between the horse and the waterproof outer.

Refer to the 'Horse Rug Size Chart' provided. Sizes are typically measured by the bottom measurement (in feet and inches) or back measurement (in cm) of the rug that fits your horse. Measuring from the wither to the tail is the standard method.

The Highlander Original 50 is designed for milder conditions. For colder weather, it is compatible with the WarmaRug system, allowing you to attach separate 100g or 200g liners to increase the insulation level.

The neck cover attaches to compatible turnout rugs via its chest fastenings. Ensure the rug is on your horse first, then align and secure the neck cover's fastenings to the corresponding points on the rug.

'PFC free' indicates that the product has been manufactured without the use of per- and poly-fluorinated chemicals, which are often used in waterproof coatings but can have environmental concerns.

Wash only when necessary to preserve the fabric's properties. Follow the care instructions carefully. Reproofing can be done periodically, especially if you notice a decrease in water repellency, typically after washing.

ShireTexandreg; is Shires' proprietary fabric technology that provides a robust, waterproof, and breathable barrier against the elements. It ensures the rug is durable and protects the horse from rain while allowing air circulation.

Ensure the neck cover is correctly attached to the corresponding rug and that all fastenings (chest buckles, surcingles, fillet strap) are adjusted for a snug, but not tight, fit. Check if the rug itself is the correct size for your horse.

The 50g fill is for milder conditions. For colder weather, attach a 100g or 200g WarmaRug liner. For warmer conditions, remove any liners and ensure the rug is breathable.

Check that the taped seams are intact. The DWR finish may need to be reapplied after washing. Consider using a rug reproofing spray suitable for equestrian fabrics.

Verify that the shoulder gussets are properly positioned and that the neck cover and rug are not too tight. Ensure the rug is the correct size and adjusted properly to avoid excess movement.
