How we can help you?

Each of the Horseware front closures are used in conjunction with our bespoke neck cuts. The shape of a horse and their physical condition should be considered when choosing the neck of a blanket. The different styles of Horseware blanket necks are outlined below:

The XL and Petite collection of Horseware blankets offer a range of blankets that are specifically designed for horses that are larger or smaller than standard sizing.

SUREFIT NECK DESIGN

Surefit Neck Design found on blankets with a V-front or Disc Front. The Surefit neck design allows the blanket to sit well in front of the wither, relieving any pressure and following the shape of the shoulder line it gives the shoulders room, designed for optimum fit around the neck across all breeds of horse.

ALL-IN-ONE NECK CUT

Combo Neck Blanket (All-In-One): Fully integrated neck offers one weight from ears to tail and no seams can protect the horse from rubbing.

CLASSIC NECK CUT

Classic Front (Standard Neck, double front closure): Curved to frame the horses neck, the straight front is easy to use. The secure closure sits aligned with the point of shoulder. Double fastened for added security.

The trigger of the clips should face in towards the body of the horse. These non-swivel trigger clips have been developed in the effort to help prevent the closure opening or being caught on anything.

All Horseware Ireland front closures are designed and chosen with the horse’s safety and comfort in mind. Horseware Ireland rugs have different types of front closures to reflect the different shapes and sizes of the horses that wear them. As well as improved safety features, different closures are used on different fronts to help offer the best fit possible with our various cuts of neck lines.
