Turnout blankets with neck covers give you matched waterproof protection from withers to poll in a single purchase. The neck cover is built to the same waterproof standard as the blanket body — rain, wind, and sleet are handled the same way across the whole horse. There's no mismatched denier, no gap in coverage at the neck attachment, and no need to source a compatible neck cover separately.
These are particularly useful for clipped horses turned out in cold, wet weather, and for horses that lose condition quickly when temperatures drop. The neck adds meaningful warmth and wind protection over an area that a standard blanket cut leaves fully exposed.
Turnouts with neck covers come in two configurations. Some have a fixed attached neck that's always in place. Others have a detachable neck cover — useful for horses in climates where some days call for full neck coverage and others don't, without needing to swap the whole blanket.
