Product Information
Full details
The Woof Wear Noise Cancelling Fly Veil is an ideal solution for horses that become easily distracted or stressed by loud noises in high-pressure competition or training environments. This veil provides a significant focus advantage by utilizing acoustic foam-lined ears to dampen sharp sounds, though users should note that it is designed specifically for performance use and may require an adjustment period for horses unaccustomed to reduced ambient sound. Featuring a breathable mesh construction and a pressure-free ergonomic fit, it serves as both a protective barrier against insects and a functional tool for improving equine concentration.

FAQs
Can I use this veil during turnout?
This veil is designed for ridden work and training. It is not recommended for turnout as it can catch on fencing or other equipment.
How do I choose the right size?
The sizes generally follow standard horse head sizing. If your horse is between sizes or has a particularly large head, opt for the Large.
Is the material machine washable?
Yes, it can be machine washed on a delicate cycle, but air drying is highly recommended to preserve the shape.
Will this block out all sound?
No, it dampens sharp and distracting noises, but the horse will still be able to hear verbal cues from the rider.
Does it work with any bridle?
The contouring is specifically designed to work with most modern anatomical bridles, though fit may vary slightly depending on the crown piece width.
Troubleshooting
The veil feels too tight around the poll.
Adjust the bridle's headpiece or check that the veil is positioned flat against the brow to prevent bunching.
Horse seems disoriented by the noise reduction.
Allow the horse to become accustomed to the veil in a quiet, low-stress environment before using it in a busy competition setting.
Mesh is trapping dust or dirt.
Gently shake the veil after each ride and hose down with cold water if heavily soiled.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure the best performance, choose the correct size based on your horse's head measurements (Small, Medium, or Large). When putting on the veil, place the crown piece over the horse's ears first, then secure the throat lash or browband of your bridle over the veil's loops to keep it in a fixed position.
Care instructions are straightforward: hand wash or machine wash on a delicate cycle using a mild, horse-safe detergent. Always air dry the veil away from direct heat sources to maintain the integrity of the acoustic foam and the technical mesh fabric. Avoid using harsh bleaching agents, as they can compromise the satin finish and structural material.
