UltraFlex® Slickers

Overview

Choose the slicker that suits your needs

Our Slickers are designed to keep your horse clean of dirt, dust and shavings, to keep manes, braids and bands lying flat, and to protect the horse’s hair coat from rubbing or chafing underneath their Blankets. We use the highest quality fabrics, available in multiple weights designed to match the level of protection needed for weather and temperature conditions. Our Slickers are designed with unique features like forelock savers, extra-large eye-holes, high quality fleece lining at key rub-points, or entirely faceless, to ensure your horse remains comfortable and protected.

Choose a shoulder-guard to protect the shoulders from blanket rubs, a sheet to protect the shoulder, withers and haunches, a hood to protect shoulder areas as well as to keep manes flat & clean, or a our full-body sheet for nose to tail protection.

Key benefits

Choose Your Slicker Fabric Considering Temperature and Type of Protection

Our Slickers are made from the highest quality fabrics, with UV protection greater than 95%, available in multiple weights designed to match temperature conditions and type of protection required. With 4 way stretch, our fabrics fit like a glove!

Our stretchy, breathable Mesh Slickers are designed for use in the Summer months when you need a breathable lightweight fabric to keep coats clean without additional weight. Available in two weights, choose 4.5 oz mesh lightweight breathable Slickers for indoor use when temperatures soar and 6.5 oz mesh breathable Slickers when you require more durability for horses who are turned-out.

Our durable Lycra Slickers are designed for use year-round and are our most effective fabric used as an under-layer to prevent blanket-rubs. Available in two weights, choose 8 oz Lycra for every-day use and to keep playful horses clean in the warm months, or choose 15 oz Lycra when the weather turns cooler and as our most durable under-layer to protect coats from blanket rubs. And for ultimate warmth during the winter months, choose our 8 oz Slicker fully lined with soft polar fleece.

Key points on our Slickers are lined with soft polar fleece to virtually eliminate rubbing or discomfort. Our Slickers use No-Snag hook & loop closures which will not catch on the Lycra Fabric or get tangled in the wash, and our YKK zippers are high quality and reinforced.

Face or Faceless Options

Our slickers that come in two facial designs. One covers the face and has options for a forelock saver that allows you to prevent rubs to forelock braids or no forelock saver for fuller coverage. Slickers with a face also offer a rub free design and oversized eyes for added safety. Faceless slickers can be used as a light summer neck and shoulder cover to keep braids and bands neat before a show, helps lay the mane down and best of all, the no face design stays in place! There are no ears to rub, no eyes to rub, and no seams to rub!

Front Closures for Every Need

Whether you need a pull on, full zipper, or 3/4 zip slicker there's an option for you in the UltraFlex® line. Our pull on option has no zippers and slides on over your horses head. The full and 3/4 zipper options have a heavy YKK zipper. The chest of the 3/4 slicker is sewn closed reducing the possibility that these zippers can break.

Surcingle and Bellyband Options

All of our slickers have no-snag hook and loop closures. Slicker hoods and shoulder guards have a surcingle while our sheets and full body slickers come in a bellyband style with back leg straps.

Unique Tail Cover on Sheets & Full Body Slickers

Split tail cover design protects the tail from rubs. Mares cannot urinate on it and higher tail sets can still move their tails freely

For a full body slicker with therapeutic copper lycra, we recommend:

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. )"

Love this

"Love this product! I’ve gotten cheaper versions that tear easily just being in a stall but these handle my young colt!!"

Amy M. (5/5)

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."

GAYE M. (3/5)

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."

CINDY M. (5/5)

Ultra flex shoulder guard slicker.

"Hardly any winter turn out blanket will get your horse thru the winter without some hair loss. The shoulder guard allows freedom of movement, and complete comfort for your horse. I have been using them for several years. My one throughtbred mare is particularly hard to fit in any of the blankets that I have tried. With the shoulder guard I am worry free, and my mare is comfortable. The construction of the shoulder guard is of very high quality as well. This is one product that I can recommend without hesitation."

JIM W. (5/5)

Quality but Expensive

"Good quality and thoughtful design but it is expensive in contrast to other brand's slickers."

Sydney (4/5)

Looks great!

"The navy blue faceless slicker (mane tamer) looks great! Just what I wanted. (I've seen a few mishaps from the old style where the horse gets hay wadded up his mouth along with the mouth opening of the full face ones. Not cool). Can't tell how it will work in person, as our first show isn't until next month. But I think it will be awesome."

Marilyn M. (5/5)

Love it!

"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!"

stephanie m. (5/5)

Worked out well!

"Finally a slinky our gelding did not destroy within a month! It was his first faceless and it survived the season. The pullover is a bit tight- he has a large head, but it is comical to put on him. Worked well for us and I would definitely purchase again."

Tamara H. (5/5)

A Hot Show Season Must

"I would purchase again. During hot summer show season, it is my go to for maintaining mane and hair coat overnight at shows."
