Thank you VERY much for replacing my hood, it arrived in the post at the end of last week and is now back on the horse.

My boys love their pjs especially on these cold winter nights. The love it more that they don't have to get fully undressed to go out in the field in the morning as I leave them on under their outdoor rug. I love their pjs because I know that they'll stay warm, especially cruse with his arthritic neck& get shiny. They also fit easily - even the long necked warmblood. And in the wet weeks they wear their hoods& the little pony has his bug rug to keep the midges off in summer. All sorted from one place.

Thank you

I just wanted to email to say how much I love your hoods and thank you for such a brilliant product! I show both of my horses as well as competing affiliated dressage with my ridden horse and the snuggy hood they share is an integral part of the preparation. Keeps them clean, hay out of the plaits, etc. Fabulous! I have just qualified my ridden horse for the BD Regional Championships and the preparation time on the morning of competitions is cut significantly by the hood. Plaits done at 9pm the night before stay intact, and no annoying bits of hay to pick out of them. Compared to cheaper imitations they certainly come out on top, my hood has survived 2 years of being shared between horses both in the stable and the field, while hoods belonging to my friends that have had less use but are cheaper versions have long since been thrown away.

Thank you! Best wishes, Fiona.

Just a quick email regarding the turnout hood i ordered for my horse. I emailed before and got a quick reply. I wasnt sure how my horse would cope with his face covered as he has a few holes in his face due to surgery. The hood came and was v pleased with the quality.

He has worn it for the last 4 days. It hasnt moved, rubbed and has allowed him to go and be the bog monster he is whilst keeping his surgical sites clean. Worth every penny!

I thought you might be interested to see your snuggy hood modified to
turn it into a night time fly mask.
Tilly seems to be really sensitive to flies and / or pollen and by the
morning she can be very touchy about being touched around her head; she
is in all day to get her out of the flies.
I decided to add net ears to the regular hood, a net muzzle net that
covers her nostrils but doesn't get in the way of her grazing and a D
ring plus dangly string to assist catching without head touching as and
when necessary.
It has made a huge difference to her. I don't like putting a fly mask on
her at night, I worry about restricted vision, she is out with 6 others.
She has been stood like a statue in the morning whilst those around her
have been twitching and flicking and the head shaking that used to greet
me in the field as she tried to rid herself of the biting insects
appears to be a thing of the past.
The muzzle net is attached with velcro. the loops have attracted some
grass bits but the net can be easily replaced if it gets torn in the
field. If she tears the ears I will have to replace them too but I
haven't made those quite so easy to replace so I hope she will be careful!!
I might add dangly string over the eye so it falls over her eyes when
she drops her head to graze but the flies seem to annoy her more around
the head and ears than her eyes. I do have a hood with ears but decided
to add the net to the other hoods I have because I felt in this warm
weather it was perhaps a little too warm, even at night.
I am very impressed by the durability of your hoods, Tilly has benefited
hugely from having them.

 
I have been so pleased with my hood.  My horse is a shire cross with a very thick mane and lately people have remarked for the first time how lovely his mane is looking!!  Only trouble is he has nicked it in a few places.  Can you replace the elastic girth and  under neck pieces at the same time?   I have had it a year now and it has come back once for a repair.  I think I shall have to buy another as I love it so much.  My friends will hopefully buy one too.
