FAQs
Is this fly hood suitable for competition?
Yes, the Heritage Fly Hood is designed for both training and competition use, offering a smart and professional appearance.
Can I machine wash the fly hood?
Hand washing is highly recommended to protect the crochet knit and the PU leather detailing.
What is the difference between the Medium and Large sizes?
The sizes vary primarily in the proportions of the crochet veil and the length of the ears to accommodate different head shapes.
Will the LeMieux badge peel off?
The PU leather-look badge is securely attached, but it should be kept away from harsh chemicals or high-heat environments to ensure longevity.
Does this provide UV protection?
While the knit construction provides some shade, it is primarily designed to keep insects away and is not rated as specialized UV protection equipment.
Troubleshooting
Fly hood keeps slipping backward
Ensure the ears are pulled through properly and that the loop at the poll is securely fastened under the bridle crown piece.
Fly hood appears to be pulling on the horse's ears
Check that the four-way stretch fabric is not twisted at the base and that the bridle is not over-tightened on the headpiece.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Sophisticated design that matches Heritage saddle pads
- Soft, stretchable ear material prevents irritation
- High-quality construction with elegant trim details
- Breathable fabric suitable for warm competition days
Cons
- Handmade crochet can be prone to snagging if not handled carefully
- Limited to specific size variants
- Hand-wash recommended to maintain structural integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best fit, pull the ear fabric gently over the horse's ears and secure the fly hood under the crown piece of the bridle. Ensure the hood lies flat against the poll to prevent bunching under the headpiece. Compatibility is broad, as the hood is designed to fit standard English bridles and pairs best with LeMieux Heritage saddle pads for a cohesive look. For care, it is recommended to wash by hand in cool water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine drying, as the high heat can damage the crochet knit and the PU leather badge. Air dry naturally to preserve the shape and texture of the plaited trim.
