Mare Neck Cover

Handcrafted Leather Neck Protection for Live Mares During Covering

Our robust Mare Neck Cover is expertly handmade by a local leathersmith to provide essential protection for mares during natural covering. Designed to shield the mare’s neck from bites and abrasions while allowing the stallion to express natural behaviour, this cover combines durability, comfort, and practical design trusted by leading breeding professionals.

Key Features

•  Handmade Quality: Each neck cover is individually crafted, resulting in natural variations in leather grain, colour, and stitching. These differences are a hallmark of artisanal production and do not affect performance or durability.
• Protective Design: Thick, bound leather construction creates a strong barrier to protect the mare’s neck from bites, nips, and abrasions during covering.
• Comfort & Security: Designed to fit securely and comfortably, with fully adjustable straps and strong clips to ensure a snug fit for a range of mare sizes.
• Professional Standard: Used and recommended by top breeding centres and equine vets.

Care & Maintenance

• Routine Cleaning: After each use, wipe down with a damp cloth to remove sweat, dirt, and debris. Do not soak the leather.
• Cleaning Products: Only use products specifically designed for leather. Avoid household or harsh chemicals, as these may cause long-term damage.
• Leather Conditioning: Regularly apply a suitable leather conditioner to keep the leather supple and prevent drying or cracking.
• Storage: Store in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight when not in use.
• Inspection: Check before each use for signs of wear, loose stitching, or damaged areas. Arrange for professional repair as needed to ensure ongoing safety and performance.

Usage & Expectations

• Designed for Demanding Use: While constructed for repeated use during covering, due to the strength and behaviour of stallions, damage or wear, especially to high-stress areas or stitching, can occur over time. Regular inspection and occasional repair are normal parts of ownership.
• Maintenance is Essential: Even with robust construction, it is not uncommon for covers to be damaged or require repair due to the physical demands placed on them.
• Handmade Variation: As each cover is handmade, appearance and fit may vary slightly. This is a hallmark of artisanal production and does not affect function.
