You Spent 45 Minutes Clipping — Don't Let Arena Dust Undo It Before Your First Class
Multi-day shows mean hours between your morning grooming and your actual class time, and every minute your horse stands in a dusty stall or warm-up pen undoes your work.
The Dura-Tech® Full Zip Full Body Slicker wraps your horse head to tail in 4-way stretch lycra, with a fleece-lined noseband to prevent rubs and a full-length zipper that goes on in under a minute — so your horse walks into the ring looking exactly like you left him after the clippers.
The Dust and Shavings Win Every Time
You can clip, bathe, and blow-dry your horse to a gleaming finish — and two hours in a show stall will erase it. Shavings work into the coat, dust settles on the face and flank, and the horse that was ring-ready at 8am arrives in the warm-up pen looking like he came off a trail ride. Re-grooming before each class is exhausting, time-consuming, and still never quite perfect.
That Last-Minute Scramble Before Your Class Affects Your Riding Too
When you're rushing with a brush and a damp cloth ten minutes before your number is called, you arrive at the in-gate stressed and reactive instead of focused and ready. Your horse picks up on that energy. What begins as a grooming problem ends as a performance problem — and it happens at every show, to every exhibitor who doesn't have a reliable full-coverage solution on their horse between classes.
- ✗Shavings and arena dust coating a freshly clipped coat within hours
- ✗Standard sheet doesn't cover the face, leaving the most visible part of the horse dirty
- ✗Stiff or non-stretch slickers rub the shoulders and withers during hours of wear
- ✗Leg straps that loosen or detach when a horse paws or lies down
Full Head-to-Hoof Coverage That Goes On in Seconds and Stays Put All Day
The Dura-Tech® Full Zip Full Body Slicker is built for exactly this scenario. The 4-way stretch 6.5 oz lycra conforms to the body without binding, and the full-length vinyl zipper means you can slide it on and off in under a minute — no lifting legs, no wrestling with a reluctant horse. The fleece-lined noseband prevents the face rubs that make uncovered noses red and raw, and the wide hook-and-loop bellyband holds the slicker in place even on horses that paw or shift constantly.

Built for the Reality of Multi-Day Showing
Most slickers protect the body and ignore the head — the part judges notice first. The Dura-Tech® Full Body Slicker includes a no-center-seam face design to prevent pressure points on the bridge of the nose, and large eyeholes engineered to stay out of the horse's line of sight regardless of head position. Detachable elastic leg straps let you customize fit for horses that move around in their stalls. At $129.99, this is a purpose-built show tool, not a repurposed turnout sheet.
