Ensure your horse enters the arena with a mirror-like shine and perfectly preserved braids using the most durable Lycra hood on the market. The Professional's Choice Horse Hoodie eliminates the frustration of shifting "sleazies" and frizzy manes, providing the ultimate professional finish for serious competitors.

Engineered for the rigors of show life, this hoodie is crafted from premium 400g heavyweight Lycra, offering significantly more tear resistance and longevity than standard thin hoods. The industrial-strength 4-way stretch fabric creates a contoured, "second-skin" fit that effectively trains the mane to lie flat while compressed fibers polish the coat for a high-gloss, show-ready appearance.

Key Features & Specifications:

• Heavyweight 400g Lycra: Provides superior durability and maximum tear resistance compared to lightweight alternatives, ensuring your investment lasts season after season.
• Triple-Point Security System: Features a full-length neck zipper, a hook-and-loop nose strap, and an adjustable elastic belly band with a heavy-duty buckle to prevent the hood from shifting, twisting, or sliding back.
• Professional Coat Maintenance: Specifically designed to lay hair flat and protect expensive braiding or banding jobs from dirt, bedding, and frizz during overnight stays or travel.
• Large Size Fitment: Tailored to fit horses wearing blanket sizes 78" to 82", with generous dimensions of approximately 50 inches in length and 33 inches in width.
• Contoured 4-Way Stretch: Delivers a snug, anatomical fit that moves with your horse’s musculature without binding, pinching, or restricting range of motion.
• Easy-Access Zipper: The full-length underside zipper allows for stress-free application and removal, minimizing friction against the mane and face.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: How do I ensure the hood stays in place and doesn't slide over my horse's eyes?
A: Unlike cheaper hoods that rely solely on Velcro, this hoodie utilizes a weighted 400g fabric and a triple-point closure system. For the most secure fit, ensure the nose strap is snug and the belly band buckle is adjusted firmly; if your horse is between sizes, we recommend sizing down to take advantage of the Lycra's high elasticity.

Q: Is this hoodie suitable for use in the trailer or during the summer?
A: This hoodie is excellent for transit to keep your horse clean and calm. While the Lycra is breathable, the 400g weight is thicker than average; we recommend use in stalls or trailers, and caution against use in direct, extreme summer sun for extended periods to prevent overheating.
