Horseware Hoods & Neck Covers

Looking for a Horseware hood? You are in the right place. This collection brings together 33 Horseware hoods and neck covers across the Amigo, Rhino and Rambo ranges — turnout hoods for the field, stable hoods for the yard, bug and fly hoods for summer, and stretch hoods for show prep — with in-stock options starting from £29.95 for the Amigo Bug Rug Hood.

Which Horseware hood do I need?

It depends on where your horse wears it. Turnout hoods are waterproof and built to pair with a turnout rug in the field. Stable hoods are breathable quilted layers for warmth indoors. Bug and fly hoods keep insects off in summer, and stretch hoods like the Rambo Slinky sit under rugs to protect manes and keep coats clean before a show. The table below matches each type to its job.

What is the difference between Amigo, Rhino and Rambo hoods?

They are three ranges within Horseware at three spec levels, and the pricing in this collection reflects that. Amigo is the value range — turnout hoods from £34.95 (Ripstop 900D 0g) and the 1200D Turnout Hood at £51.95 (0g) or £59.95 (150g). Rhino sits in the middle, with stable hoods at £51.95 (100g) and £55.95 (200g) and turnout hoods at £59.95 (0g) and £64.95 (150g). Rambo is the flagship: the 1680D Turnout Hood 0g is £73.95 and the Optimo Turnout Hood 0g is £77.95. All three do the same core job — the step up buys tougher outer fabric and higher-spec fittings.

How do Horseware hoods fit and size?

Standalone hoods are sized X-Small to X-Large, and the right size follows your horse's rug size rather than height alone — check the size guide on each product page. Hoodys are different: they are full neck-and-body covers sized like a rug, from the Amigo Ripstop Petite Hoody (£103.95, sizes from 2ft 9) through the Rambo Pony Hoody (£127.95) up to the full-size Rambo Hoody at £159.95 in sizes 5ft 6 to 7ft 3.

What fill weight should I choose?

Match the hood to the rug underneath it. A 0g (no fill) hood adds weather protection without heat — the most versatile choice for British conditions. 100g and 150g add light-to-medium warmth for clipped horses or colder spells, and 200g stable hoods like the Rhino Stable Hood 200g (£55.95) are for deep winter indoors. In-stock options in this collection run from 0g to 200g, so you can layer to suit the forecast.

Do I need a fly hood in summer?

If your horse rubs its mane or gets bothered by midges and flies, yes. The Amigo Bug Rug Hood (£29.95) and Amigo Bug Buster Hood (£32.95) use fine mesh to keep insects off the neck and head area while staying cool. Horses prone to sweet itch in particular tend to be more comfortable with the extra coverage — pair one with a matching fly rug for full protection.
