Lively Hoods
Features
Our hoods are original and have some unique features which make them comfortable for the ponies to wear and easy to use.
The fit
All of our hoods are designed for the native or cob build and are made in height sizes. We use Velcro tabs for our fastenings rather than zips. Our hoods have large neck openings or can come as fully opening. Extra features such as ears or fully opening can easily be added.
​
For comfort, there are very few seams on our hoods and the fleece hood and the turn out hoods come with a full silky Lycra lining. The Velcro straps are for flexibility and we can add extra Velcro for growing youngsters.
​
Extra fabric is added at the shoulders to prevent rubbing and large eye holes are a feature.
We offer "extra fit" for chunky builds or a slim fit for the finer types.
​
The fabrics

The Lycra for our Show hoods and all-in-ones is a shiny, smooth Lycra that polishes the coat.
