Technical Details

The Winter Under Rug (formerly the Spik & Span Rug) is perfect for use as an under Rug or extra layer in the colder months to keep your horse or pony warm with a clean and dry belly.

Stops winter coats coming through as early and keeps a clipped coat for longer. Also helps to lie the coat flat and add shine.

Use in the field or stable under any rug. Also suitable for use in the trailer or lorry.

The Snuggy Winter Under Rug covers chest, shoulders, body and full belly with an XL tail flap. Water repellent, mud proof, fully breathable and robust fabric with full belly coverage.

Use under any rug or alone in warmer weather. Teamed with the Turn Out Hood or Headless Turn Out Hood the combination offers ultimate protection from the elements.

Sizes - 4'6" to 7’3” - PLEASE NOTE - The sizes are generous due to the stretch in the fabric so if your horse/pony is between sizes, choose the smaller.

Choosing the size - please remember that the fit design is tight and that there is stretch in the fabric. The rug must not hang over the base of the tail - with the seam for the tail protection sitting just above the base of the tail. The rug neck is designed to sit high, a good 6 inches or so in front of the sensitive wither area. The neck must be tight. Some customers do order 1-2 sizes smaller to ensure the close fit needed. Try on the horse and pull the rug back to test it for length... Any concerns, please get straight in touch with photos before removing the rug in case it needs to be exchanged. We can also offer alterations for all in-between sizes and used items. 

Colours - NEW Burgundy, Navy or Black

The Snuggy Hoods Turn Out Hood is the ultimate time-saver for the busy rider when bringing wet, muddy horses in from the field. It gives back hours spent grooming and clipping so that you have more time to ride and enjoy your horse or pony. It can also be used in the stable to prevent stable stains and to protect plaits before a show being the most versatile Hood on the market!

Used & Endorsed by Olympic event rider Mary King! See the Turn Out Hood being fitted and used by Mary HERE

**PLEASE STUDY THE FITTING ADVICE CAREFULLY - WE DO RECOMMEND THAT THE HORSE IS STABLED WHEN FIRST TRYING ANY HOOD**

Constructed of a robust yet breathable, shower proof, fully washable, stretch fabric and lined with a silky shoulder and mane saver to prevent these areas from being rubbed or chaffed. It is designed for use all year round.

The Turn Out Hood also features a water repellent finish, an adjustable nose for better fit, self-fixing surcingle and elastic poll adjusters for added security. It is fully breathable and comfortable as well as mud proof and wind proof.

There is the option of a zip - NEW for 2018 super strong YKK zips! - for ease of fitting which runs from chin to chest. Without the zip the Hood is ‘pull on’ so simply slipped over the nose and pulled back into position. Now with Ears as standard. Ears can be easily cut off if not required.

ZIP OR PULL ON ? - we would always recommend a pull on hood unless the horse is head shy. Why? Less fiddly, Less to break, Less Bulky. If your horse is head shy or would find fitting stressful or upsetting, we would always recommend a zipped hood.

This best selling Winter Hood is silky lined so helps protect your horse or pony's mane and shoulder from rubbing. We recommend to use the Turn Out Hood with a standard neck rug. Try to avoid using high neck rugs as much as possible to avoid excess heat/pressure on the mane area which can result in hair loss. We suggest to only use rugs with necks on very wet or very cold days - the Turn Out Hood is more than adequate protection for your horse or pony otherwise.

The Turn Out Hood is a firm favourite at Martin Keighley Racing keeping racehorses clean whilst they enjoy time out in the field - CLICK HERE to find out more.

TOP TIP - Grease is a common cause for mane loss/rubbing. To reduce mane loss use the Headless Turn Out Hood but wash it regularly to keep the lining grease free. Ensure the mane is clean and non greasy too for best results!

Use the Turn Out Hood alongside the Winter Under Rug (formerly Spik & Span Rug) or Fleece Jams Rug for complete coverage and protection from the elements. With full belly coverage in either fleece or weatherproof fabric, these combinations keep your horse or pony's tummy warm and clean, preventing hairy, cold, muddy tummies and giving you more time to enjoy your horse.

Sizes - XS to XXL

Colours – NEW Burgundy, Navy or Black

Rule of thumb is :

Adjusters either side the face, TIGHT and done up as tight as possible. There should be enough slack in the neck for her to extend her neck fully to eat from the floor.

Ears can easily be shortened / cut off if required.

Top Tip: Use with the matching Jams Fleece Rug and Fleece Boots to create a cosy Onesie for your horse or pony.

These advanced high-cut mud fever boots are made with Air-Tech ventilated neoprene for maximum breathability. Anatomically shaped to provide superior comfort for your horse whilst supporting the cannon bone and soft tissues. Fatigue is reduced in the tendon, fetlock, ligaments and suspensory. The boots cover the whole of the lower leg and pastern area, making them great for use as a preventative measure against mud fever and chills. Suitable for year-round use in paddocks. Can be used on both front and hind legs.

The fabric layers work together to distribute even airflow and manage heat removal. Excellent stretch and recovery properties allow the boot to mould and retain shape without impeding the natural action of a horse moving.

Pique jersey outer and lining wicks away moisture, is highly breathable, quick drying and soft to the touch. Perforated neoprene allows heat from the leg to escape and cool air to enter the boot and circulate the leg. It also does not retain water.

Your Turnout / Mud Fever Boots have been carefully hand packaged in a complimentary, reusable zip-fastened storage bag to keep your tack room tidy when not in use and easy for carrying.
