Choosing the Right Shoulder Guard for Your Horse

A shoulder guard helps prevent blanket rubs on the shoulders, especially for horses that are body clipped. It's a simple, targeted layer of protection for times when you don't need a full slicker hood or full body slicker.

Shoulder guards are made from a stretchy, pull-on fabric for a comfortable, secure fit. Choose a standard weight for everyday use, or an extra heavyweight option for added durability and warmth during colder months.

Need more coverage than just the shoulders? A Slicker Hood covers the head and neck, or a Full Body Slicker & Sheet covers your horse from head to tail in one piece.

Our UltraFlex® fabric isn't just for slickers — you'll also find it in our fly masks and tail bags.

Frequently Asked Questions About Shoulder Guards

What is a shoulder guard used for?
A shoulder guard helps prevent rubs on the shoulders caused by a blanket, especially for horses that are body clipped or sensitive to rubbing.

Do I need a shoulder guard if I already use a slicker hood or full body slicker?
Not necessarily. A shoulder guard is a simpler option for horses that only need protection at the shoulders, rather than the full coverage of a hood or full body slicker.

What's the difference between a standard and extra heavyweight shoulder guard?
An extra heavyweight shoulder guard uses a thicker, more durable fabric for added warmth and protection, while a standard weight option offers a lighter, more breathable fit.
