The LeMieux Diamante Acoustic Fly Hood is designed for horse owners seeking to enhance their horse's focus and comfort during ridden activities. Its primary benefit is the reduction of distracting noises through advanced soundproofing technology, while a soft bamboo lining ensures maximum comfort. A potential caveat is that while designed for discretion, users should always ensure compliance with competition rules regarding equestrian accessories.

It features a layer of dense, sound-proof micro-foam designed to absorb sharp, distracting noises, creating a calmer environment for the horse.
Yes, the ultra-soft bamboo lining ensures maximum comfort against the horse's skin and is known for its breathability and hypoallergenic properties.
Yes, these acoustic fly hoods are British Dressage legal in accordance with rule no. 134, permitting ear covers and fly hoods for all competitions, provided they do not cover the horse's eyes and are discreet in colour and design.
It is machine washable at a low temperature (30°C) using a washing tablet or capsule. Air dry it near a heat source; never tumble dry.
The outer material is made of soft Lycra, which provides a perfect, comfortable fit.
The acoustic properties are designed to dampen sharp, sudden noises while allowing the horse to still hear important cues and sounds. It aims to reduce distraction, not block all sound.
It is not recommended to use fabric softener, as it can degrade the material properties of the micro-foam and lining over time.
Ensure the fly hood is correctly positioned under the bridle's poll strap. Adjust the bridle fit if necessary. The Lycra outer is designed to provide a close fit, but it should not cause discomfort or restrict ear movement.
Introduce the fly hood gradually. Ensure the bamboo lining is clean and free of any irritation. Check that no part of the bridle is pinching when used in conjunction with the hood.
Hand wash gently if possible, or ensure the machine wash is on a low setting and the item is not agitated excessively. Avoid high temperatures during drying. If a diamante does come loose, professional repair may be an option.
Setup: This fly hood is designed to be worn with a standard bridle. It should be placed over the horse's ears and secured under the bridle's poll strap, ensuring the bridle fits comfortably over the top. The fit should be snug but not tight, allowing freedom of movement for the horse's ears and neck.
Compatibility: The LeMieux Diamante Acoustic Fly Hood is suitable for most horses and can be worn with various types of bridles. It is compliant with British Dressage rule no. 134, making it legal for all competitions under those regulations, provided it meets the discretion and eye-covering criteria. Always double-check specific competition rules for other disciplines.
