Troubleshooting
Fly hood slips during use.
Ensure the elastic tie and button are securely fastened. Check that the size is appropriate for your horse's head. For persistent slipping, consider a more robust fastening method if available or consult sizing guides.
Horse seems uncomfortable or rubs the hood.
Verify that the hood is the correct size and not too tight around the ears or poll. Ensure there are no internal seams or rough patches irritating the horse. Allow the horse a short period to acclimatize to wearing the hood.
Material appears stretched or misshapen after washing.
Follow the care instructions precisely. Always wash at a low temperature (30°C) and air dry away from heat. Avoid machine drying and harsh detergents.
