Question 1

How much UV protection is in a Horsehoodie?

Horsehoodies are designed for bug protection and will reduce the UV rays moderately.  We recommend using "The Guardian Horse Mask" for full UV protection.

Question 3

Are Horsehoodies appropriate for turn-out?

Accepted Answer

We recommend using your Full Horsehoodie while you have control of your horse.  We do not recommend Horsehoodies for turn-out.  While our fabric is very durable, it can not hold up to a horse rolling or everyone's favorite game of Hoodie tag.

Question 4

Why do you use black mesh for your Horsehoodies?

Accepted Answer

The mesh is very shear but strong and doesn't distort the horse's vision while riding or driving for safety purposes.  The lighter colors will have some blurring of their vision also the black also shows the least amount of dirt.

Question 7

Will using a Horsehoodie cut down on costly chemical sprays?

Accepted Answer

Concerned horse owners who truly care for their horses, never like putting on layer after layer of chemical pesticides used by most fly sprays. Horsehoodies are the comfortable, effective alternative to fly spray and really take the worry away from owners — and horses!

Question 8

Is It True That I Can Be Safer On My Ride With Horsehoodies?

Accepted Answer

Yes! We’ve all seen the horse that bucked, ran away, stumbled or took a misstep, all because their focus was on protecting themselves from irritating flying insects. Because horses are more comfortable and feel protected under their Horsehoodie, they no longer have to throw their heads and endure the misery and the stress of flying insects determined to bite them.

Question 9

Is It True That Every Horsehoodie is HANDMADE in The USA?

Accepted Answer

YES! Every hoodie is beautifully crafted and HAND MADE. We know how we feel about our horses and we know our customers love their horses as much as we do!

Question 10

What If I Want To Add Some BLING To My Horsehoodie?

Accepted Answer

We can do that!  We can add two rows of sparkly "diamonds" to any hoodie across the browband for an additional $10.00.  (This will not affect the vision of your horse at all)
 
We can also customize your bling to your liking.  Prices will vary per your request.  For those special horses who deserve a little bling!
