"Schneider’s is the only place that I have ever found this product. The quality is fantastic! Schneider’s understands the horse show world!❤️🤠"
UltraFlex® Full Zip Full Body Slicker
Muzzle to tail like a second skin, with a zipper that opens the whole front
An 8-ounce, 4-way stretch lycra body that covers from muzzle to tail to keep the coat flat, clean and sleek, under a blanket or on its own before a show. Full separating YKK zipper from muzzle to chest, Comfort Cuff fleece noseband, no center seam on the face or neck, extra-large eye holes, a split tail wrap, bellyband and detachable elastic leg straps. UV protection above 95%. Black, Navy, sizes Small to X-Large.
1
Show-ready hair, muzzle to tail
The 8-ounce, 4-way stretch lycra lies against the coat from the muzzle back, so the hair stays flat and clean overnight or under a blanket, and braids and bands stay neat before a class. UV protection greater than 95%.
2
Goes on over the neck, not over the head
A full separating YKK zipper runs from the muzzle to the base of the chest, so the slicker goes on over the neck like an open-front blanket instead of being pulled over the head.
3
Nothing to rub
A Comfort Cuff polar fleece lined noseband, no center seam down the face or neck so the mane is not rubbed, extra-large eye holes, and no-snag hook and loop on every closure.
4
Split tail, bellyband, leg straps
The split tail wrap reduces tail rub and suits a higher tail set. A bellyband and detachable elastic leg straps hold the body in place.
Finding the Right Fit
Measure once, order once. Most horses nail their size on the first try.

2
Measure Chest to TailRun the tape from the center of the chest to the center of the tail. Keep it level.
3
Note the MeasurementRead the tape at the tail and record the number in inches.
4
Round Up If Between SizesAlways size up when you land between measurements.

What Horse Owners Are Saying
★★★★★
Love this mesh slicker, especially on hot days to protect from flies while keeping their coats clean. It's my "go to" for hot weather at horse shows to keep my horses clean!
★★★★★
My horses are outside 24/7 so using this coupled with blanket during really cold weather. Material and zipper are sturdy and I will be able to leave it on at night since it's faceless.
★★★★★
Excellent hoodie for summer and hot weather neck protection when bands and braids are in place. I love the snug fit and light weight breathable mesh. Easy to wash and drys fast!!

Reviews
Let's talk about color options
"Downfall- it's white! But, been a huge help in these hot, devils butt crack summers, especially for our one boy who sweats so easily."
Mesh Full Zip Slinky
"This hood is made of great material- it is durable but is breathable and serves the purpose of keeping bands or braids in place during hot weather."
Fits well, I always choose
"Fits well, I always choose Schneiders for the size of the eye holes. It snagged and tore on the very first wear though."
Best slicker ever
"***sha*** yeah ok. com/photos/054tlsh0WnpYIGNQK_OXTb2qA I was worried I would not be able to find a slicker large enough to fit Our big boy weighing in at 1300 pounds. Kodachrome is a very large Friesian paint Cross and he needed a slicker to keep him clean prior to our shows. Fortunately, I found the perfect slicker that was comfortable and well-made at Schneider‘s. And the benefit was that it came with his nose band embroidered with his name. Koda looks stunning in his black slicker, and the best part is he stays clean, even laying down in shavings until Our shows the next day. (I wanted to add another photo but can’t figure out how. )"
Great mane tamer
"Great fit and weight"
Mesh Slicker
"Seems like a much cooler option this summer. I like it."
Love this
"Love this product! I’ve gotten cheaper versions that tear easily just being in a stall but these handle my young colt!!"
Wanted to like this but….
"Was super excited when this arrived. Unfortunately the sizing chart wasn't accurate for my 17. 3 HN/TB. The article when fitted wouldn’t stay below the shoulders and behind the withers as designed … it would only creep up the neck. It would work great as an equine neckie :). Sent it back. I much prefer the design with the fabric secured between the legs with the surcingle clip that I’ve used on my other horses. On the positive side, it appeared to be made the good quality."
Love the shoulder guard
"Blankets were rubbing my mare's shoulders bald. Her hair grew back in quickly and she has had no more bald spots. The fit of the shoulder guard is really good and uses a velcro belly band to keep it in place. It is well made as are most all items I have purchased from Schneider's. Highly recommend if your horse has blanket rubs on their shoulders."
