Description
Kudos Turnout Neck Cover 200g — Detachable Neck for Kudos Turnout Rugs
The Kudos Turnout Neck Cover 200g is a detachable neck piece that fastens onto a Kudos turnout rug to extend coverage from the withers up over the crest and poll. It is designed for horses and ponies living out in winter whose standard-neck rug leaves the neck and shoulders exposed.
The cover attaches with four hook and loop tabs that locate into the corresponding D-rings around the rug's neckline, and it is compatible with all Kudos turnout rugs. The cut has been shaped to give full coverage while still allowing the horse to stretch down and graze freely.
Key Features
- 200g fill — medium warmth across the neck, crest and shoulder
- Universal Kudos fit — compatible with all Kudos turnout rugs
- Four hook and loop tabs fasten into the D-rings on the rug neckline
- Grazing cut — shaped for coverage without restricting head-down movement

How to Use
- Fit the Kudos turnout rug to the horse as normal and fasten the chest straps.
- Lay the neck cover over the neck, positioning the widest part at the shoulder and the narrow end towards the poll.
- Locate the four hook and loop tabs and pass each one through the matching D-ring around the rug's neckline.
- Fold each tab back on itself and press firmly so the hook and loop grips.
- Check the fit — you should be able to fit a flat hand under the cover at the crest, and the horse should be able to lower its head to graze without the fabric pulling.
- Re-check the tabs after the first few hours of turnout and clear any hair or grit from the fastenings.
FAQ
Will this neck cover fit any turnout rug?
It is made to attach to Kudos turnout rugs, which carry the matching D-rings around the neckline. Rugs from other ranges may not have D-rings in the same positions, so the tabs may not line up.
What size neck cover should I order?
Order the same size as your Kudos turnout rug. Matching the sizes keeps the tabs aligned with the D-rings and prevents gaping at the shoulder. If you are unsure of your rug size, measure from the centre of the chest along the body to the point of the buttock and compare with your current rug.
How warm is a 200g neck cover?
200g is a medium fill weight. It suits cold winter conditions and pairs well with a medium or heavyweight turnout rug for clipped horses or those that feel the cold.
Can the horse still graze wearing it?
Yes. The neck cover is cut to allow freedom of movement so the horse can stretch down and graze normally in the field.
Can I take the neck off when the weather warms up?
Yes. The four hook and loop tabs release quickly, so you can remove the neck cover during milder spells and refit it when temperatures drop.
How do I wash and care for it?
Let mud dry and brush it off first. Use a specialist rug wash rather than household detergent, reproof as needed, and keep the hook and loop tabs clear of hair and debris so they keep gripping.
