Hoods

Horse hoods are a versatile addition to your horse’s wardrobe, designed to protect the head, neck and sometimes shoulders. Whether you are preparing for competitions, maintaining a clean coat in the stable or adding extra protection under a rug, a well-fitted horse hood supports both comfort and presentation.

At Emmers Equestrian, you will find a carefully selected range of hoods for horses, suitable for different situations and needs. From lightweight Lycra hoods that help keep the mane smooth and clean, to warmer options that provide additional insulation when used with a blanket, each horse hood is designed with attention to fit and functionality. Hoods are commonly used to protect braids, reduce dirt and stains, and help maintain a polished look, especially for competition horses.

Modern horse hoods are made from soft, stretchable and breathable materials that follow the natural shape of your horse. This ensures a snug fit without restricting movement or causing discomfort. Depending on the design, some hoods can be worn independently, while others are designed to attach seamlessly to stable rugs or turnout rugs for extended coverage and protection.

Our collection includes premium equestrian brands such as Amigo by Horseware, Bucas, Emmers, Horseware, Kentucky Horsewear, Lamicell and LeMieux, and many more trusted names in the equestrian world. These brands are known for their quality materials, thoughtful designs and reliable fit, ensuring durability and comfort for everyday use.

Choosing the right horse hood depends on your horse’s needs and routine. For example, Lycra hoods are ideal for keeping the coat clean and smooth, while thicker or lined hoods can add warmth during colder periods. A correct fit is essential to avoid rubbing and to ensure your horse remains comfortable at all times.
