Robinhoods™ builds horse garments that keep a coat show-ready whether you are headed to the ring or just want a slick, clean horse in the barn. The line centers on true four-way stretch Lycra hoods that hug the head and neck, tame the mane, and polish the hair coat so your horse looks finished without hours of extra grooming.

What does a Robinhoods™ stretch hood actually do?

The flagship 6 oz. Lycra ROBINHOODS™ tames manes, polishes the hair coat, adds warmth, and helps prevent sun fading. A center yoke keeps the hood positioned so it will not drift into the horse's eyes, and there are no seams along the mane to cause rubbing. There is no Velcro to fill with shavings — a self-healing coil zipper, armored zipper cover, and a durable ABS buckle do the work instead. For tougher turnout there is the 10 oz. NFL Tough version, and the breathable Kool ROBINHOODS™ for warmer conditions.

Beyond hoods — full-body covers, sheets and tail bags

The full line keeps the whole horse covered. The Friar Tuck 6 oz. Lycra Full Body Cover and the 10 oz. Tough Lycra King Richard Sheet extend the same slick, fitted protection down the body, while Lycra tail bags in both 6 oz. and 10 oz. Tough weights keep tails clean and protected from dirt and grime. The tail bags use tie strings rather than Velcro for a secure hold. Everything is designed for easy application and removal with closures that stay put even during active turnout, and the garments machine wash warm and hang to dry. Every piece is proudly made in the USA.

The Solution Section (FAQ)
What is a Robinhoods™ hood made of?

No. A center yoke keeps the hood positioned correctly so it stays put and will not drift into the horse's eyes, even during active turnout.

What does a stretch hood do for the coat?

It tames the mane, polishes the hair coat for a slick show-ready look, adds warmth, and helps prevent sun fading — keeping a horse presentation-ready with far less daily grooming.

How do the tail bags attach?

The Lycra tail bags use tie strings rather than Velcro for a secure hold, keeping the tail protected from dirt and grime without snagging or collecting shavings.
