For the most secure fit, ensure the nose strap is snug and the belly band buckle is adjusted firmly; if your horse is between sizes, we recommend sizing down to take advantage of the Lycra's high elasticity.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eQ: Is this hoodie suitable for use in the trailer or during the summer?\u003c\/strong\u003e\u003cbr\u003eA: This hoodie is excellent for transit to keep your horse clean and calm. While the Lycra is breathable, the 400g weight is thicker than average; we recommend use in stalls or trailers, and caution against use in direct, extreme summer sun for extended periods to prevent overheating.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Number\/SKU:\u003c\/strong\u003e PCHHS-BLA\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Professional's Choice","offers":[{"title":"Small","offer_id":47403093000413,"sku":"PCHHS-BLA","price":155.7,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Medium","offer_id":47403093033181,"sku":"PCHHM-BLA","price":129.83,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Large","offer_id":47397015159005,"sku":"PCHHL-BLA","price":148.94,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"XL","offer_id":47403093065949,"sku":"PCHHXL-BLA","price":129.82,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/professional-s-choice-lycra-horse-hoodie-large-black-pchhl-bla.webp?v=1770965869","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/professional-s-choice-lycra-horse-hoodie-large-black","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
