The base member also comprises releasable securement components to enable various conforming coverings to be releasably secured to the base member. One covering comprises a back cover for covering the back and sides of the horse. Another covering comprises a full body cover made up of a back cover and a forward cover, with the forward cover being coextensive with the base member. Each covering may include releasable connector elements to releasably secure a liner panel thereunder. | |
