I would use a rug with a removable neck cover. On warmer days or nights take this off. Neck covers can rub a mane badly - but overheating will cause "shedding" of the mane, particlularly just above the wither!
I favour Amigo rugs., they are reasonable to buy, very durable and fit well. I bought a neck cover a size too big just to ensure no rubbing!! Even better is the Rambo Duo. Our connie wore a duo day and night last winter (we have 2 different weight liners so very versatile) and had a full mane from the beginning of the season. I took the neck cover off for warmer nights (above 5 degrees) and on dry, sunnier days. This rug also keeps him ultra clean!! I offset the cost of the rug by not buying a stable rug and the only other turnout he has is the ultra lite amigo (which we use as a stable rug in summer when not too hot- when we don't use any).

I second this. Premier Equine really good quality and price. Not very exciting colours but hey you can't have everything. I find that it is the removable neck part of a rug that rubs the mane so always use the combo rugs. Also I sewed some synethetic silk on the inside of rugs where it rubs the bottom part of the mane and it works really well. |

Rhino or Premier Equine (haven't used PE myself but heard that they are very good.)
