Snuggy Hoods Ltd

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.

Rule of thumb is :

Cheek, TIGHT. Nose can be loosened off

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.

When the horses head is down eating he or she should take up all the slack in the neck. If in doubt - do not turn out. Contact us directly with photos if possible.

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.

We can also offer alterations for all in-between sizes and used items.

The Snuggy Lycra Hood and Lycra Body Rug combination will help you achieve show ring shine like the professionals! We strongly believe a two piece (Hood and Rug) combination is more comfortable for the horse or pony to wear as in our experience all-in-one Lycra suits can ride backwards creating pressure and pulling up into the eyes/face. A Hood and Rug combo offers more flexibility for usage (each items can be used individually) and it is also possible to achieve a better fit as the Hoods and Rugs are sized separately.

The Snuggy Lycra Hood can be easily washed in a domestic machine on a normal cycle. When washing always remember to do up the zip and velcro to prevent snagging and to prolong the life of the fabric/velcro. To protect your washing machine from mud, grit and loose hair use the Snuggy Laundry Bag to wash your horse's Snuggy items.

**Please note that this product is not water repellent and will not prevent staining from either wet bedding or droppings. If you are looking for stain protection, please look at the water repellent anti itch or turn out range of products.

PLEASE NOTE - The Lycra Hood sizing is generous due to the stretchy fabric so please choose a smaller size rather than bigger if your horse/pony falls between sizes. Please contact us for sizing advice before purchasing if you are unsure.This product should be a tight fit.
