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

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.

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.

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.

FITTING ADVICE - please ensure the following ... (and watch the fitting videos)

The surcingle is designed to sit ON THE GIRTH - as near the foreleg as possible and as tight as possible to prevent it slipping back along the body.

The cuff around the head end of the hood should be TIGHT ! This is to prevent the hood sliding back along the neck.

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.

Designed for use under high neck Turn Out rugs, the Turn Out head was created especially for mud monsters.  Perfect for preventing mud and stable stains and also helps prevent clipped faces growing back so quickly.

Constructed of a robust, water repellent, comfortable and fully breathable fabric. Extensively trialed and based on Snuggy's successful and unique hood design, the Snuggy Hoods' Head features generous eye holes and ear covers, carefully constructed seams that avoid pressure on sensitive poll and muzzle areas and double Velcro fastening behind the poll, for extra security and excellent fit.

The Head extends slightly along the neck, which enables it to be used with turnout rugs that have full/high necks. With a certain amount of stretch in the Head - it makes it easy to pull on and off (a zip is optional) and is comfortable and durable. Now with Ears as standard. Ears can be easily cut off if not required.

There is the option of a zip for ease of fitting which runs from chin underneath neck. Without the zip the Head is ‘pull on’ so simply slipped over the nose and pulled back into position. Perfect for use with the Headless Turn Out Hood for neck coverage and mane protection - these two items attach together with a d-ring (on the Turn Out Head) and a strong velcro loop (on the top edge of the Headless Turn Out Hood).

*PLEASE NOTE* - The Turn Out Head is intended to be attached to a high neck rug (turnout or stable). The Head comes complete with a strong D-ring just behind hind the ears and a spare velcro piece which we highly recommend you attach to the edge of your rug's neck so the head can be securely to the rug using the d-ring and velcro loop. Please contact us before using the Turn Out Head if you are unsure of this or need help. We don't recommend the use of the Turn Out Head if it is not attached to a rug. If you have multiple rugs we can provide additional velcro loops free of charge - just contact us to request.

The Horse Saddle Pad is made from a soft cotton fabric with a coloured fleece outer layer.
