Waldhausen Zebra Fly Rug Neck Piece for Horses
Description
Waldhausen Zebra Neck Piece - Matching Neck Cover for the Zebra Anti-Fly Rug
The Waldhausen Zebra Neck Piece is a zebra-striped neck cover that attaches to the Waldhausen Zebra anti-fly rug, extending protection from the wither up over the crest to the poll. It is best for horse and pony owners who already use the Zebra anti-fly rug and want fuller coverage during summer turnout.
Because it is a companion piece rather than a standalone rug, it is bought to match an existing fly rug and sized accordingly. Browse more fly rugs and fly protection to complete the set.

FAQ
Can the neck piece be used on its own without the rug?
No. It is designed to be used in conjunction with the Waldhausen Zebra anti-fly rug and attaches to it, so it is not intended as a standalone item.
What size neck piece should I order?
Order the same size as your Waldhausen Zebra anti-fly rug. If you are unsure of your rug size, measure from the centre of the chest, along the side of the body, to the point of the buttock and compare with your current rug.
Will it fit a pony as well as a horse?
It suits both horses and ponies, provided you match the neck piece size to the size of the Zebra anti-fly rug already being worn.
Why choose a zebra-striped fly rug and neck piece?
Zebra-pattern turnout wear is a popular choice among owners who want their horse covered in the fly season, and the striped neck piece keeps the whole outfit consistent from nose to tail.
How do I wash the neck piece?
Brush off dried mud and shake out loose hair first, then wash following the care label. Avoid fabric softener and dry naturally away from direct heat.
My horse's neck piece keeps slipping - what should I check?
Check that the size matches the rug, that all fixing points are fastened and that the closures are snug but allow a flat hand underneath. A neck piece that is too large for the rug will tend to twist.
