Horse owners dealing with sweet itch, this Snuggy Hoods Headless Sweet Itch Hood is about to become your best friend during fly season! If your horse or pony suffers from those pesky midges and biting insects but you don't want full face coverage, this zip version gives you exactly the protection you need. Made from this unique breathable, water-repellent fabric that's actually heavy shower proof, it stretches comfortably while providing complete protection from insects and harmful UV rays. The neck is cut extra long so your horse can stretch down to graze while still staying protected right up behind the ears - such a smart design! It comes with an adjustable belly band and elasticated collar for that secure but comfortable fit. The silky lined mane and shoulder area prevents any rubbing or chafing, which is so important for horses wearing protection 24/7. This hood is self-fixing too, meaning it works perfectly with any rug like fly rugs or summer sheets. If you do need head protection later, you can always add the Sweet Itch Mask. They offer 8 sizes from XXXS for miniature horses up to XXL for drafts, with really detailed sizing guidance to help you get the perfect fit. The zip version is ideal for head-shy horses or those who find pull-on hoods stressful. It's fully machine washable and designed to be worn constantly in the field or stable, rain or shine. Seriously, if sweet itch has been making your horse miserable, this hood provides amazing relief while letting them live their best life outdoors!
