this does happen...i walked past a liverys box and noticed there was a small probelm...it had slipped down over his eyes and poor berts was standing ever so still in the back of the stable...with the help of someone else we quietly pulled it back into place...
the following night at 3am (must be ill i didnt hear anything!...lol!) chris heard horse on yard went outside and saw berts..he had been rubbing over his door, got himself cuaght by the hood and managd to get himself out!...
we have spring bolts on the doors!

Id love one of these to go under my horses turnout combo's as the neck part always ends up getting greasy which then makes their manes gross. But I just couldn't face turning out in these..... Id worry so much that they'd have an accident!

Be very careful and very sure it fits before you turnout in these hoods. There have been tragic accidents happen when they slip down over the eyes

mmm unfortunately, being blind in the stable isnt so bad but in the field - well, they cant see where they are headed bless them
i have a lycra hood i use for mane taming but i am planning on altering it somehow so there arent eyes holes as such - more attached to the headcollar kind, so i can leave it on over night in the stable before shows etc safely
where is the rug rubbing??

It's just where the neck cover joins the rug. The ones I have are expensive rugs, so can't afford to replace them.

I have the Snuggy Hood and have never had a problem with it slipping- just make sure it is a perfect fit. They do made to measure if you need it.

Ugh full neck rugs are the bane of my life but i love em!!
mmm you need like a half neck underneath... i know what you mean - its like you need an anti-rub vest/bib but for the base of their neck/withers
what about a full neck under rug? pic up a cheap thin on on ebay and it might alleviate the pressure enough to stop the rubbing?

snuggy hoods are very popular and most people come back for more. They are used both to avoid rubs and to keep horses mud free

We are using Dress Circle ones now (there is a pic of one on Robo in H&H yesterday). They are fab and work really well - they various types, but they do not recommend they are used when turning horses out - just for stable use.
