FAQs
Is the LeMieux Classic Fly Hood machine washable?
We recommend hand washing to preserve the life of the crochet and braiding.
Will this hood fit under any bridle?
The low-profile design is made to be compatible with almost all standard English bridles.
Can this be used for trail riding?
Yes, it is excellent for trail riding to protect your horse from flies and dust.
Does the hood help with horse anxiety?
While not a soundproof hood, the material helps muffle distracting noises to aid focus.
What material is it made from?
It is crafted from soft, breathable cotton.
Troubleshooting
The hood keeps slipping back.
Ensure the loop at the front is correctly secured to the bridle's browband.
Ears appear tight on the horse.
Verify you are using the correct size, as the stretch panels are designed for comfort but should not be overly compressed.
The crochet is looking dull.
Hand wash gently in cool water and reshape while damp before letting it air dry.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-quality, durable cotton construction
- Soft ears prevent rubbing and irritation
- Low-profile design fits easily under most bridles
- Professional aesthetic suitable for competition rings
Cons
- Requires hand washing to maintain the intricate crochet
- Cotton material may take longer to air dry than synthetics
- Needs careful sizing to ensure a proper fit over the horse's ears
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up the fly hood, slide the ears through the panels, ensuring the crochet part lies flat against the horse's forehead. Secure the small loop at the throat latch area to your bridle's browband or headpiece to prevent the hood from sliding backward. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the hood in cool water using a mild, non-biological detergent to protect the delicate crochet work and braiding. Always air dry the item in a shaded area away from direct heat sources to prevent shrinkage or discoloration of the cotton fibers.
