**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.

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.

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.

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 deemed generous due to the stretch in the fabric and the tight fit recommended so if your horse/pony is between sizes, choose the smaller.

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 Snuggy Waterproof Tail Bag, is quick and easy to use and can be worn in the stable, field, at a show or for travelling - helping to keep your horse or pony's tail clean, dry and tidy.

Waterproof Tail Bag has been cleverly designed to be used with either traditionally plaited, pulled or full tails. A nifty central Velcro strap is threaded through the plaited tail (below the dock) to secure the bag, and then an elasticised toggle pulls around the tail at the top of the bag for added security.

The toggle system helps prevent any muck, mud, forage or bedding getting into the bag, but also allows owners with horses that have extra long tails to 'loop' the bag back up in half, to prevent it dragging on the floor or being trodden on. This also means it's suitable for use when riding at home or warming up at a show as the Waterproof Tail Bag is folded up out the way. A Velcro opening allows the bottom of the bag to be opened so that the tail can be guided through by hand, therefore ensuring the tail is kept smooth and tangle free when fitting.

The unique design of the Waterproof Tail Bag ensures that the majority of the tail is covered, allowing owners to continue bandaging the top half of the tail for protection or finish. Because the tail does not have to be plaited for use, it saves time and fuss as well as leaving the horse with smooth, clean, kink free locks. As the dock is not covered the Waterproof Tail Bag can be left on for longer periods and is safe to use out in the field.

Excellent for use with the Snuggy Tail Guard for ultimate tail protection whilst travelling. Also fantastic for use in the field along with the Turn Out Hood and Winter Under Rug. This combination of products will help keep your horse or pony mud free from nose to tail all Winter saving you hours of grooming time!

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

The Snuggy Base Body comes as a two piece neck and rug combo for versatility and ease of fitting. The rug part- with built in full belly band and XL flap. The neck piece then slips over the horse's head and is secured to the top and sides of the rug's neck with Velcro leaving no gaps. 

The top of the neck sits closely behind the ears even when the horse stretches down to graze and is elasticated, with adjustment, to prevent any insects getting inside. The mane area of the neck is lined with a seamless, silky, non stretch lining to prevent mane rubbing/hair loss.

Small straps are fitted to the withers and chest section of the rug to prevent gaps. The withers and chest areas are padded and elasticated to prevent pressure. Three Velcro patches are fitted to the rug and belly each side to achieve a close Snuggy fit and a strong ant-stretch binding is run along the spine of the Base Body to keep the rug in shape and prevent it slipping backwards.

Use under any rug or alone in warmer weather. For the ultimate protection you can team this together with the Turn Out Head to offer full face coverage.
