There is described an improved method of manufacturing an equine protective covering by applying a stamp (50) comprising a profiled shape (52) with a predetermined temperature and pressure to the interior side (22) of the cushion assembly (20) such that concurrently: - the first synthetic fabric layer (30) and the second neoprene layer (40) are permanently bonded； - the second neoprene layer (40) is plastically deformed such that the profiled shape (52) of the stamp (50) is permanently transferred to the second neoprene layer (40)； and - the plastic deformation of the second neoprene layer (40) is such that the perforations (42) remain open.
