Anti Rub Stretch Vest

Product Description

Anti Rub Stretch Vest – Black helps protect your horse’s shoulders and withers from rug rubs while keeping them comfortable and free to move. This close-fitting stretch vest sits like a second skin under stable or turnout rugs, so sensitive coats stay smooth and less marked over the season. Because it is easy to fit and adjust, it is ideal for everyday use in busy yards.

Anti Rub Stretch Vest Overview

This Shires Anti Rub Stretch Vest is designed to prevent rubbing and hair loss in key pressure areas. The slim, contoured cut fits neatly over the horse’s shoulders and chest without bulk. As a result, rugs can move more freely over the top, reducing friction on the coat.

Benefits

The soft, stretchy fabric creates a smooth barrier between your horse and their rug, which helps minimise bald patches and soreness. In addition, the snug design supports freedom of movement at the shoulder. Consequently, it is especially useful for clipped horses, those with sensitive skin, or horses living rugged for long periods.

How It Works / Directions

The vest slips easily over the horse’s head before you put on the rug. After positioning it so the shoulders and withers are covered, fasten the elasticated surcingle around the girth area. This strap keeps the vest securely in place, creating a comfortable “second skin” layer throughout turnout or stabling.

Care Guide

For best results, follow the care instructions carefully. Machine wash at 30 degrees using non‑detergent soap to protect the fabric and elasticity. Do not tumble dry, bleach or iron, as heat and harsh products can damage the stretch fibres and shorten the life of the vest.
