Supreme Products are known for being the leaders in equine preparation products, and are also proud to be able to offer an elite range of garments from hoods to body wraps that can help you achieve your goal.
Whether you are looking to keep your horses coat fine and sleek, protect from rug rubs or trying to avoid clipping during the winter, Supreme Products has garments to help tackle all these issues.
Many horse owners turn to using hoods throughout the winter or to keep coats gleaming before shows but have you ever stopped to think whether you are using the hood correctly, ensuring optimum comfort for your horse and putting it on in the simplest way?
Here Supreme Products offer valuable advice on how to fit a Supreme Products Hood.
STEP 1
Gather the hood in to both hands; make sure you are holding all excess material. Begin by rolling the hood over the nose, up over the face and head. Users should find this easy, the finest Italian lycra mix has been used to make the hoods, creating a non restrictive and manoeuvrable garment easy for putting on a horse with its’ four way stretch.
STEP 2
To ensure optimum comfort align the ears and eyes into place straight away. Supreme Products have spent a great deal of time researching and developing a garment with the right size eye and ear holes. This means your horse and pony will remain comfortable, without risk of the material rubbing the eyes or restricting ear movement if fitted correctly.
STEP 3
Once over the head roll the hood down the rest of the neck, taking care to lay the mane flat and to the correct side of the horse. Supreme Products Hoods are great for taming unruly manes and are ideal for setting them on the correct side. If you plait, plait the night before and the Supreme Products hood will help keep the plaits laid and in pristine condition.
STEP 4
All Supreme Products Hoods fit over the rug on the horse. This is to ensure your horse has complete freedom of movement in the stable. When tucked under rugs some other hoods can restrict movement, and problems such as slipping hoods can occur – which is why Supreme Products design is to be fitted on top of the rug.
When securing the hood, start at the front end of the horse. A flexible loop forms part of the hood and this can be threaded through the breast strap of your rug. Two further loops are provided at either side of the horse and have been designed so that a surcingle can hold them in place.
STEP 5
The Supreme Products Hood correctly fitted and in place.
How do I Know if my Hood Fits?
All Supreme Products Hoods have been sized in the easiest way for you to ensure a correct match with your horse. Sized in hands from Mini to 17.2hh the Supreme Product Hoods should be close fitting, but not tight and should provide freedom of movement. These hoods and garments have been proven to enhance the quality of the horse’s coat.
Sizing is based on Riding Pony or Horse type, so if you have a native or heavier ‘type’ then it is necessary to increase the hood or garment to the next hand size.

The best way to tell if your hood fits the horse correctly is by placing the horse’s head in an upright position. Whilst in this position the hood should show ripples down over the neck:
This excess material means that your horse has plenty of stretch and movement,
making it comfortable and free to move in.
If the hood is tight to the skin or the stitching is taught – then the hood does not fit correctly, and your horse will not benefit from everything the Supreme Products Hood has to offer.
