Horse Chest & Shoulder Guard Bodysuit: Professional Wound Protection for Sensitive Areas

Developed at the request of vets, breeders and dedicated riders alike, the HORSE CHEST & SHOULDER GUARD Body solves a problem every horse owner knows all too well.

A horse’s chest and shoulder area is constantly in motion, yet it’s also one of the most sensitive spots on the body. It’s exactly where you’ll often find sore rubs, scrapes or sarcoids — all of which need careful care and reliable cover to heal properly.

This innovative body is far more than just a piece of horse clothing. Think of it as a dependable, fabric-based wound dressing that actively supports your horse’s recovery every step of the way.

Top-Level Wound Protection: A Smarter Alternative to Traditional Bandaging

Treating wounds on the chest and shoulder is notoriously tricky — regular bandages tend to slip out of place the moment your horse moves, whether it’s walking or grazing.

This body stays exactly where it needs to be, acting as a flexible, perfectly fitted protective dressing. It shields open wounds and skin injuries reliably from dirt, bacteria and other outside irritants.

That barrier effect keeps infection risk low and lets healing happen faster. The skin underneath can recover undisturbed, free from the itching, flies or grime that would otherwise get in the way.

Premium Fabric for All-Day Comfort and a Perfect Fit

To keep things as comfortable as possible for your horse, our equine products are designed to go on with zero hassle. The chest and shoulder guard is made from a highly stretchy fabric that moves naturally with your horse at every stride. It’s also noticeably tougher than our small-animal fabric, built for the demands of daily life in the stable, paddock or pasture.

We paid close attention to the microclimate under the fabric during development. The material is breathable and dries ultra-fast.

Even during hard training sessions or in warm weather, heat won’t build up underneath thanks to the fabric’s temperature-regulating properties. Freedom of movement was a key design priority throughout.

Key Benefits for Horse Owners, Stud Farms and Racing

Whether you ride for pleasure, run a large stud farm, or train competition horses, this body delivers unbeatable advantages for every type of owner:

For the Private Horse Owner

Save yourself time and hassle with everyday wound care. Easy handling makes horse care so much simpler, and the body reliably stops your horse from nibbling at wounds or rubbing against the stable wall.

For Stud Farms and Breeding Operations

Minor bumps and scrapes are part of daily life in herds and young stock. This medical-grade shoulder guard is a practical, cost-effective solution for busy yards. Thanks to its tough fabric, it also holds up well to the rough-and-tumble of contact with other horses.

For Racehorses and Competition Sport

Racehorses and competition horses need completely unrestricted freedom of movement to perform at their best. The super-stretch fabric never restricts the shoulder through a gallop or over a jump, prevents dangerous blanket rub, and keeps hard-working muscles at the right temperature thanks to its temperature-regulating properties.

Easy Hygiene and Care

When it comes to wound care for horses, hygiene comes first. To make sure the HORSE CHEST & SHOULDER GUARD Body is always clean and germ-free for its next use, it’s machine washable at 60°C on a gentle cycle. That temperature is ideal for clearing bacteria, ointment residue and wound discharge out of the fabric. And since the special fabric dries ultra-fast, the body is ready to go back on your horse again in no time.

Finding the Right Size for Your Horse

For the body to do its job properly, the fit has to be spot-on. That’s why we offer the body in three sizes, based simply on your horse’s height at the withers:

• Size S: For a wither height of 100–120 cm (ideal for ponies).
• Size M: For a wither height of 130–150 cm (ideal for small horses, Icelandics, Arabians).
• Size L: For a wither height of 155–175 cm (ideal for warmbloods, thoroughbreds, sport horses).
