Abstract

A neck cover comprising a shaped sheet-like membrane A with adjustable fastening means for maintaining close fitting engagement with the neck, withers and shoulders of a horse or pony. The cover is fastened along a front edge which, when in position, runs down the centre of the underside of the horse's neck and front of its chest. The fastening means are strips of "hook and loop tape" and clips which engage with D-rings. The fastenings under the neck area are covered with an over flap F which is fastened with a strip of "hook and loop" tape. The cover is held in place round the girth area of the horse by a surcingle K which is stitched to the cover. The cover is made of waterproof, tear resistant fabric with a cotton or fur fabric lining. It may be made of a quilted fabric, if for indoor use.

Description

THE DESCRIPTION
UNIVERSAL NECK COVER FOR HORSES/I,ONIES
Background
The invention relates to a horse/ pony neck cover that covers the shoulder and wither areas and with fasteners? fits onto the horse/ pony independently of any rug.
It may also be used with any rug, providing a continuous cover for the whole body.
Explaining the problem that my invention solves Neck covers usually work in conjunction with a horse/ pony rug by clipping onto a series of 'D' rings on the outside of the rug. The disadvantages of this are; you either purchase the corresponding neck cover and rug, which as horses usually have at least 2 rugs usually made by different manufacturers makes it an expensive exercise if you have to purchase 2 different neck covers. Or you sew 'D' rings onto your rugs to match the fastenings on the neck cover, this compromises the rugs waterproofing in these areas therefore ending up with wet on the inside of the rug, against the horse.
What my invention does An object of this invention is to provide a neck cover, which can be used in conjunction with any type of rug.
The essential features of my invention A horse/pony cover which covers neck, withers and shoulders, held in position with adjustable fastenings down the centre of the underside of the horse's neck, front of chest and around the girth area, therefore worn independently of a rug.
Some important (but not essential) features of my invention Preferably the cover is made from waterproof "rip-stop" fabric with cotton or fur fabric lining or, for indoor use, quilted fabric with or without cotton or fur lining, or from a combination of these materials.
