Abstract:
A method of manufacturing an equine protective covering by applying a stamp comprises a profiled shape with a predetermined temperature and pressure to the interior side of the cushion assembly. The first synthetic fabric layer and the second neoprene layer are permanently bonded. The second neoprene layer is plastically deformed such that the profiled shape of the stamp is permanently transferred to the second neoprene layer. The plastic deformation of the second neoprene layer is such that the perforations remain open.

Claim (Index 1):
A method of manufacturing an equine protective covering comprising a cushion assembly extending from a cushion interior side which contacts the equine body when mounted to a cushion exterior side facing away from the equine body when mounted, wherein the cushion assembly comprises:\n first synthetic fabric layer at the cushion interior side; a second neoprene layer extending from the first synthetic fabric layer towards the exterior side, wherein the method comprises the steps of: providing the second neoprene layer; perforating the second neoprene layer such that a plurality of perforations extend completely through the neoprene layer in a direction from the interior side to the exterior side; providing the first synthetic fabric layer at the interior side of the cushion assembly to the neoprene layer; applying a stamp comprising a profiled shape with a predetermined temperature and pressure to the interior side of the cushion assembly such that concurrently: the first synthetic fabric layer and the second neoprene layer are permanently bonded; the second neoprene layer is plastically deformed such that the profiled shape of the stamp is permanently transferred to the second neoprene layer; and the plastic deformation of the second neoprene layer is such that the perforations remain open.
