Snuggy Hoods

[MagicMelon]

Please confirm that the turnout hoods really do NOT move??? Am still awaiting mine (screw up by Royal Mail.....

) but am still worried about putting it on the first time in case it slips in the field and ned (who can be panicky) ends up blinded and going through a fence!!

This definately wont happen will it??? Promise?!

I have never had a problem with one ever!!!

I aways put it on in the stable over night first though just to check it fits before turning out. If they fit they dont move!! If at all possible when you put it on- give the horse a feed you will see instantly if it is going to slip.

Hope that helps!!

I worried about this too. Mine has been fine. It's a bit baggy under the neck, but fits round eyes/face really well. Why has yours taken so long to come?

I think someone on here (perhaps Bossanova?) had a terrible accident with a turnout hood that slipped and blinded the horse - but I don't think it was actually a Snuggy one.

ETA - yes it was Bossanova - here is the thread:

Ive not had a problem with mine. When i 1st had it i wasnt happy with the fit so i took loads of Photo's of my horse wearing it. Spoke to snuggy hoods & sent it back with the Pic's of my horse wearing it. Cost £10.00 to alter which was really worth it.

If you are in any doubt about the fit just call them. But the main thing is the hood should fit snuggly against the head. The eye holes on mine had to be enlarged & the length of the hood over the withers had to be extended as my boy has a lot of Top Line so it rode short on him.

I can't fault my hood & i can't believe i managed before with my horse or should that be Hippo.

I've had three of them and never had any problems at all, despite my horses being two of the most spectacular rollers you ever saw (which is why I needed the hoods in the first place!).

Ok, Ill put the horse in the first night just to see if it moves.

Madam Max - Taken a while because Royal Mail seem to have lost it!! The company are sending out another now. The company are claiming back from RM and they said if the original one they sent turns up after the (courier sent!) other one then I can keep it! Brilliant! So Im hoping that a 2nd one will turn up eventually, doubt it. One would be nice though.....!!
