A Step Ahead Hocket Neck

Equine neck cover

The soft and comfortable double-cut innovative anti-static carbon fibre Equifleece, in combination with the Hocket's ® patented anatomical function.

Can be used indoor, during traveling in cold conditions or after a performance etc.

Just like in the Hocket body (horse jacket) , the neck area is designed to be as comfortable as possible for the horse, regardless of movement.

The horse should be able to eat, lie down and move in every way without feeling pain or awkwardness.

It is very easy for you as a handler to manage and it is gentle on your horse.

Another key feature is the elastic and adjustable strap around the ears, this to be able to shape it based on each individual horse.

The product is equipped with a zipper to easily open and close, but also to reduce wind and cold so the horse maintains the right temperature.

Of course, it is available in different sizes to find the right combination for your horse.

Patented

World Intellectual Property Organization handled the Patent Cooperation Treaty for the Hocket that was filed as PCT/EP2015/052358 and the patent is approved.

Hocket System

It is possible to combine different sizes. Therefore, it is easy to find the right combination and fit for the individual sporthorse.

Combine a correctly fitted Hocket Body size (covering back/sides/stomach) with a separate selected size of Hocket Front.

Add a removable Hocket Neck in the right size. The Hocket fits your horse, no matter their conformation.

Ergonomic Handling

The Hocket system enables the horse to move ergonomically whilst eating, stationary and in motion. As well as minimizing the effort for the handler.

The fastenings/openings are placed on the sides so that they don’t disturb the horse and make it more ergonomic and safer for you to handle.

They can be opened with one hand, even when wearing gloves.

Sustainability

All components and different parts are carefully selected according to high environmental standards.

We believe our products should last a long time. They should not have a negative impact on humans, animals or the environment.

Therefore we make sure that we use OEKO-TEX® and bluesign® as much as possible.

Quick dry

Equifleece is quick drying with good wicking properties.

The moisture management knit construction makes sure that the moisture is pulled away from the skin and transferred to the outer surface for faster evaporation.

Comfortable Microclimate

Comfortable microclimate with high air circulation from the skin, without any damp feeling.

Moisture Wicking

Designed with an unmatched, cutting-edge technology.

The moisture-wicking carbon-blended Equifleece is extremely breathable with a fantastic wicking capability.

The nice feel, breathability, lightness and all year round comfort that the Coolmax® fabric brings to the skin gives us peace of mind.

Just Zip It!

All openings are placed on the sides, so they don't affect the horse’s movement or create rubs and injuries.

We have included a double safety system in relevant areas of the Hocket to ensure the safety of the horse and make it easy to handle.

No Gaps

To control weather and wind, the entire Hocket is swept into a structure with zippers on the side.

It is also well shaped to ensure there are no gaps when the horse lowers its head. The neck consists of twelve major parts, as well as many smaller ones. Ensuring that the underside of the neck is well protected, even when the horse is in motion.

To get it a snug fit around the head – it’s possible to adjust it with elasticated bands.

Carefully Selected

All components and different parts are carefully selected and used according to high environmental standards.

The products should not affect either humans or animals in a negative way, even though we borrow resources from mother earth.

Produced in Europe in a truly sustainable way.

Made in Europe

The A Step Ahead Hocket is produced in Europe. In Europe we meet and exceed the world’s most demanding environmental law and policy regulations. As set by the European Union.

Because it doesn´t generate static, it attracts less dust and lint.

OEKO-TEX®

The products must be as good for the horses as they are for the environment. That is why we use OEKO-TEX® textiles.

Please read more in the specification below.

bluesign®

We want to make sure the products are as good for the horses as they are for the environment, therefore we use bluesign® textiles.

Please read more in the specification below.

COOLMAX®

Coolmax® fibre-based
moisture systems are an effective functional material. The system moves sweat away from the body, through the fabric, where it can evaporate quickly, allowing horses to feel cooler and more comfortable.

The nice feel, breathability, lightness and all year round comfort that the Coolmax® fabric brings to the skin gives us peace of mind. The Coolmax® fabric that we use is produced in Europe under bluesign® and with OEKO-TEX®.

No Withers Gap

The Hocket Neck is shaped around the withers without gaps to eliminate wind, regardless of movement or if the horse has its head down.

No Hurting Buckles

No buckles on the Hocket Neck, just a zipper, velcro and snap-button placed on the side in a position to make it more comfortable for your horse when having the head down + it is easier to handle.
