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. )"
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."
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."
Ultra flex slicker
"Fits great and is well made. I expect it to last."
Quality but Expensive
"Good quality and thoughtful design but it is expensive in contrast to other brand's slickers."
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."
