The primary purpose is to protect the horse's sensitive ears and face from flies, dust, and other distractions, while also adding a touch of sparkle and elegance for competition.
While functional, its elegant design and sparkle trim are specifically geared towards competition. For everyday use, a simpler fly mask or hood might be more practical.
Select the size that corresponds to your horse's bridle and head measurements. The ears should fit snugly without being tight, and the crochet portion should cover the face comfortably without obstructing vision.
Yes, the trim can be washed as part of the fly hood. Hand washing in cool water with mild detergent is recommended to preserve the sparkle. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying.
The ears are made from a soft, comfortable elastane fabric that offers protection and flexibility.
No, it is designed to fit securely under the bridle. The close-fitting design and tie-down loop help integrate it seamlessly with the bridle for unhindered performance.
Ensure you have selected the correct size for your horse. Gently stretch the ear fabric if needed, and verify that the bridle is not pulling the hood into an uncomfortable position. Ensure the tie-down loop is not over-tightened.
Check that the bridle fit is correct and snug. Utilize the underside tie-down loop to secure the hood to the bridle's throatlatch or cheekpiece for maximum stability. Ensure the ears are fully covering the horse's ears and not slipping down.
Avoid harsh cleaning agents or excessive scrubbing. Gentle hand washing and natural drying are recommended. Ensure the hood is stored flat or in a way that prevents the trim from being abraded.
Setup: The fly hood is designed to be worn under the bridle. Ensure the bridle is correctly fitted first, then gently place the fly hood over the horse's ears and poll, ensuring the crochet veil rests smoothly over the face and the ear sections cover the horse's ears. Use the underside tie-down loop to secure it to the bridle's throatlatch or other appropriate point if necessary for a truly unshakeable fit.
Compatibility: This fly hood is designed to be compatible with most standard bridles. The flexible ear fabric and crochet design accommodate various head shapes. Ensure the size selected is appropriate for your horse's head.
Care: Hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent. Do not bleach. Do not tumble dry. Reshape whilst damp and dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid harsh brushing of the sparkle trim to maintain its appearance.
