Neck Covers & Hoods
A neck cover or hood carries your horse's turnout protection up the crest to the poll, so wind and rain stay off the neck and the mane stays drier and cleaner, often keeping him warm without moving to a heavier blanket.

What riders say about their neck covers
Riders tell us a good neck cover fits well, stays in place and quickly becomes something they want on every blanket.
This blanket was the perfect fit! Plenty of length on the sides and neck coverage. My horses tend to be hard on blankets and the quality of clips and closures are critical for longevity of our blankets. These were the best quality we have tried yet. Warm, great fit, safe.
After day 2 of the neck attachment.. I’m sold- this thing is great! Now I need all my other blankets to have neck coverings too!
Although this blanket is 900D it feels like it will hold up just as well as my higher quality blankets. This is the best price I've seen for a turnout with a neck piece and 200g of fill. The neck piece has been easy to take on and off. This blanket runs very true to size. Usually HW is generous on my guy but this blanket is fairly fitted. This one is definitely slimmer through the shoulders.
I bought one of the high necks for my gelding this year. I'm really liking it! It's held up way better than my amigos, fits him great, and it actually still looks pretty new. He's tough on blankets and there isn't a mark on it…and after paying an arm and a leg to repair blankets for him and my mare every year for the past 6 years, I feel like I'm in heaven.
The Neck Cover Edit
How a neck cover keeps your horse warm and dry from crest to poll
The five sections below cover when a horse needs a neck cover, how detachable necks, combo necks and hoods differ, whether one fits the blanket you own, which designs are kindest to the mane, and how much fill to choose.
The case
Does your horse need a neck cover?
A horse needs a neck cover when his body is warm under the blanket but his neck and crest take the wind and rain, which is most common on clipped horses, seniors and horses living out without shelter. A neck cover adds warmth and keeps the mane drier without moving the whole horse into a heavier blanket.
A hood such as the Rambo Optimo Hood 150g pairs with a turnout and its liners, so one system covers more weather. Look elsewhere if your horse has a thick mane, a run-in shed and mild weather; a standard-neck blanket is enough.
What Riders Say
I just purchased my sixth Rambo Optimo. I have had very good luck with these turnouts. I have 3 horses and I bought all the weights of liners and hoods. Since I board and the stable manager changes my blankets, I keep two fixed up for her with different weights of liners depending on the weather forecast. I love that versatility! The Rambo Optimo runs large, as other Rambos do, so I bought a size smaller in Rambo than other brands of blankets. The full body style dart and front closure works great and the blankets do not rub any of my horses. I love the underbelly design, no straps between the hind legs. I've even left the tail cord off on occasion when cleaning it and they have not slipped. I have a 17.1hh Hanoverian, a 16.1hh Hanoverian, and a 15.1hh Andalusian, who are all built differently. This style works for all my horses - no rubs, no slippage! I launder them myself with Rambo Wash and hang them to dry. I've used four of them for the past 2 winters with no rips or tears. Last year I bought one more, and this year I'm buying one more so each horse has 2. Rambos are pricey but worth it.
Try a high neck cut. That has made all the difference for Guinness. Somehow it keeps his withers from pulling the blanket up against his shoulders.
Which style
Detachable neck cover, combo neck or a full hood?
A detachable neck cover clips or fastens to the blanket and comes off on milder days; a combo neck is sewn to the blanket, so it stays put with fewer points of pressure; a full hood such as the Amigo Hood 0g runs all the way up to the poll. The choice is flexibility against simplicity.
Riders tell us the attachment matters as much as the style: some prefer a combo neck for fewer things to rub or fail, and others swear by neck covers that fasten with hook-and-loop strips because they shift and turn less than ones held by straps alone.
What Riders Say
This is such a GREAT blanket to have in your fall arsenal. I far prefer a combo neck to a detachable neck - fewer points of potential pressure, irritation, or failure. The 50g weight is SO difficult to find in the US - it seems to be much more common with international brands, but it is ideal for the Pacific Northwest fall/winter weather. The value on this blanket design can't beat either. Having the shoulder gussets is a huge bonus and I don't mind the chest buckles vs clips that you get on the more expensive options. I'm personally super disappointed that this style has been discontinued by Weatherbeeta and hope they consider bringing it back. I believe I got the very last one in stock in a 75" anywhere in the country!!
I dearly love neck covers that attach with velcro, like the Weatherbeeta Detach-A-Neck line (shown on both girls - Foxie is rocking an WB Orican, Bailey a WB Original). They shift and turn less than neck covers that attach with surcingles
The fit
Will a neck cover fit the blanket you already own?
A neck cover fits best on a blanket from the same maker, in the size that matches the turnout, because the attachment points line up. Check first that your blanket has them: tabs or loops at the withers and rings at the chest. A blanket with no attachments needs a neck cover with its own straps, or a combo-neck blanket instead.
Sizes run small to extra large, and pony sizes are made too, like the Amigo XL Neck Cover 0g at the large end. A neck cover that fits a whole set of one maker's sheets and blankets earns the most use.
What Riders Say
I particularly like this neck cover as it fits all of my Weatherbeeta sheets/blankets when needed, depending on the weather.
Centaur 1200D Neck Cover No Fill
As described. Needed a small neck cover for my pony. This is a nice one for the money. I only use them about 2x year so didn't want to spend too much money. This is a nice quality neck cover.
Mane rubs
Which neck cover rubs the mane least?
The neck covers that rub the mane least are cut to the horse's build, lined smoothly at the crest and fastened so they can't twist at the withers. A cover that is too tight drags the mane; one that is too loose slides and rubs as the horse grazes.
Owners of Friesians and draft horses, whose long manes and high, thick necks wear blankets hard, tell us a high-neck design that fits their build is what finally stopped the rubbing. Check the mane after the first few days of turnout, and size up or switch cuts if you see broken hair along the crest.
What Riders Say
Horze Avalanche Winter Blanket
I love this blanket sooo much! I have a Friesian, so obviously I am obsessed with keeping his mane nice and long. I actually first found out about Horze in finding this blanket, as I was looking for something with a high neck that also looks cute. When I tried it on him I was shocked at how perfectly it fit him, because he has one of those funny Friesian builds that doesn't quite fit in with the standard horse sizes. It seriously fits him like a glove! I love all of the little details, too, like the triangular corners on each side along the front that flip out in such a nice and subtle way. Also, his name is Zorro, and I call him Z for short. So it is nice that there is a free Z monogram on the back! And it looks just like it was slashed with a sword, just as the OG Zorro would have wanted it. All in all, I am now a die hard Horze fan for life. The quality of their products far surpasses most companies that charge four times the cost (and beyond!). Thank you, Horze! Please come out with more colors and designs for this blanket. I promise I will buy them!
Bought blankets for our Shire mare and one of our Friesians. After trying many other brands, I am so relieved to have found blankets that fit our girls without rubbing their manes or shoulders! Thank you for making high quality, affordable blankets that fit high necked, wide shouldered horses!
The fill
How much fill should a neck cover have?
Match the neck cover's fill to the blanket under it: a 0 g hood with a turnout sheet, a 100 to 250 g neck cover with a lightweight or mediumweight, and a heavier one with a heavyweight turnout blanket. Neck covers come in the same weights as blankets, like the Weatherbeeta Comfitec Plus Dynamic Turnout Neck Cover 100g.
A neck that is much warmer than the body can make a horse sweat at the crest; one much lighter leaves the neck the cold spot. When in doubt, choose a neck cover one step lighter than the blanket, and check under it for damp hair.
Questions riders ask
Neck cover FAQ
Do neck covers fit any blanket?
Not always. A neck cover fits best on a blanket from the same maker, in the matching size, because the attachment points line up. Check that your blanket has neck attachments before you buy.
Is a neck cover or a hood better?
It depends on how much coverage you want. A neck cover protects the neck and crest; a hood runs up to the poll and covers more of the head and mane, which suits horses living out in rain and wind.
Should a neck cover have fill?
Match it to the blanket. A 0 g hood goes with a turnout sheet, and a filled neck cover of about 100 to 250 grams goes with a lightweight or mediumweight blanket.
Do neck covers rub the mane?
A well-fitted one shouldn't. Choose a cut for your horse's build with a smooth lining at the crest, make sure it can't twist at the withers, and check the mane after the first few days of turnout.
