Key benefits

Durable, Unified Design That Moves With Your Horse

This isn’t your average hood, our slicker combines an 8-oz stretch Lycra with a feather-light fleece interior that’s actually part of the fabric. No added layers, no shifting, and no bulk. It flexes and conforms to your horse’s movement, while the full zipper, hook-and-loop closures, and generous facial cut ensure safety and security without rubbing or pinching.

Total Face Protection With Zero Fuss

Generous ear coverage, oversized eye openings, and no seams along the mane, everything about this hood is designed for rub-free, all-day comfort. The full zipper down the neck makes it easy to put on or take off, even when you're dealing with a fidgety horse or cold hands.

Warmth Without the Bulk

Perfect as a layering piece or a standalone cover in cool conditions, this slicker adds just the right amount of warmth without overheating. The unique fleece lining cuts the chill from wind and weather, making it a barn favorite for transitional seasons or heated barns.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can you wear a fleece-lined hood under a horse blanket?

Yes, absolutely. The UltraFlex® Fleece Lined Full Zipper Slicker Hood is designed to slide under blankets for extra insulation on the coldest days. Its 4-way stretch Lycra with woven fleece lining adds warmth without bulk, making it perfect for layering under your existing blankets during winter or cool weather turnout.

What materials are used in this horse hood?

This hood features a smooth Lycra outer shell with soft fleece woven directly into the fabric for a seamless construction. The 4-way stretch design means it moves with your horse without restricting movement, while the fleece-lined face and nose area provide extra comfort against sensitive skin.

How does a fleece-lined hood help prevent blanket rubs?

The smooth Lycra outer surface creates a low-friction layer between your horse's mane and neck and the blanket itself, significantly reducing rubbing and mane breakage. By keeping your horse's mane flat and protected, this hood helps maintain coat quality and prevents the irritation that can come from blankets shifting during turnout or movement.

Is the zipper on this hood easy to use and secure?

The hood features an easy-to-use YKK full zipper with a no-snag girth closure, so you can quickly slip it on and off your horse. The quality YKK hardware is built to last, and the no-snag design means you won't have to worry about accidentally catching hair or fabric when opening and closing it.

What are the best uses for a fleece-lined slicker hood?

This versatile hood works great for spring turnout, chilly barn nights, post-show layering, or as part of your winter setup. You can wear it solo when there's a light chill, or layer it under blankets during colder weather—it's a flexible essential for keeping your horse comfortable year-round.

Does this hood keep a horse's coat clean?

Yes, the smooth Lycra outer surface acts as a protective barrier against dirt, dust, and shavings, helping to keep your horse's coat cleaner during turnout or stall time. This is especially helpful if you're preparing for a show or want to maintain your horse's coat quality without constant grooming.

Exactly what I was looking for

"I bought this for my older mare as part of my winter setup, and I’m genuinely impressed. At 20+, keeping her comfortable is much more important to me than simply keeping her looking pretty, so I’m pretty particular about what I put on her. The first thing I noticed was the quality. The fleece lining is soft and cozy without feeling excessively bulky, and the full zipper makes it SO much easier to put on and take off than the pull-over styles I’ve used before. Anyone who has ever tried to wrestle a snug hood over an unimpressed senior mare’s head will appreciate that little detail. 😂 I also really like the coverage and fit. It gives me an extra layer of protection around her neck and shoulders without feeling like I’ve wrapped my horse in a sleeping bag. We’re in Texas, where winter weather can go from 70 degrees to “why is there ice on everything?” seemingly overnight, so I like being able to layer and adjust her setup instead of relying on one enormous blanket for every situation. This gives me another really useful option in her winter wardrobe. Most importantly, she seems comfortable in it, and that’s ultimately what matters to me. Beautifully made, practical, easy to use, and clearly designed by people who understand horses. I’d absolutely buy it again."
