FAQs

Can I tumble dry the LeMieux Loire Fly Hood?

No, you must never tumble dry the fly hood as it will damage the fabric and the decorative metal motif.

Does this hood come in different ear sizes?

The ears are made from stretchy Lycra, designed to accommodate most horse head shapes and sizes comfortably.

Is this suitable for everyday turnout?

While durable, the Loire collection is primarily designed for training and competition due to its high-quality satin finish.

How do I match this to my other gear?

The Loire Fly Hood is designed to color-coordinate exactly with the matching Loire saddle pads and polo bandages available in the LeMieux range.

What is the best way to remove surface dirt?

Use a soft brush or a damp cloth to gently spot-clean the satin front panel before resorting to a full machine wash.

Troubleshooting

Fly hood keeps slipping backward

Ensure the loop at the poll is securely fastened under the browband or properly aligned with the bridle headpiece.

Stitching pulling after washing

Always use a protective wash bag to prevent the delicate crochet from catching on the drum or other metal hardware.

Ear material losing elasticity

Ensure you are not exposing the Lycra to excessive heat during drying, as this will break down the synthetic fibers.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High-end aesthetic with a luxurious satin finish
  • Soft Lycra ears prevent rubbing and irritation
  • Breathable material keeps the horse cool
  • Matches perfectly with the broader LeMieux Loire collection
  • Secure fit stays in place during light exercise

Cons

  • Delicate fabric requires careful machine washing
  • Not suitable for tumble drying
  • Satin panel is prone to snagging if not handled with care
  • Hand-wash or delicate cycle recommended for longevity

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of the fly hood, always secure it under the bridle's browband to prevent slipping. For maintenance, it is best to place the item in a wash bag before putting it into the washing machine. Wash at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius on a gentle cycle. Always allow the hood to air dry naturally; avoid placing it on radiators or using a tumble dryer, as heat can damage the integrity of the Lycra and the finish of the satin panel.
