The fly hood features a tie-down loop designed to be secured under the bridle. Proper fitting of the bridle over the hood is also crucial for stability.
No, it is recommended to hand wash the fly hood in cool water with a mild detergent only. Machine washing can damage the delicate crochet and sparkle elements.
The ears are made of a soft, comfortable, four-way stretch elastane fabric, designed for comfort and protection.
While durable, the Brilliance Fly Hood is primarily designed for competition use due to its decorative sparkle trim. For everyday protection, a plainer fly mask or hood might be more practical.
The handmade crochet construction provides a breathable yet secure fit, offering a unique sporty aesthetic while helping to keep flies and dust away.
The tie-down loop is located on the underside of the hood and is meant to be fastened to a point on the bridle (often the noseband strap or throatlash area) to prevent the hood from lifting or moving.
Ensure the hood is the correct size for your horse. Adjust the bridle fit to accommodate the hood smoothly. The handmade nature may require slight stretching or settling with use.
Avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, and high heat drying. Gently hand wash and air dry as per care instructions. Consider storing away from prolonged direct sunlight.
Check for any pinching points, especially around the ears. Ensure the bridle is fitted correctly and not putting undue pressure on the hood or horse's head. Allow the horse a settling-in period.
Setup: The LeMieux Brilliance Fly Hood is designed for immediate use. Simply place it over your horse's head and ensure the bridle is fitted correctly over and around the hood, with the tie-down loop secured as intended under the bridle if applicable. The crochet design should sit smoothly around the face and ears.
Compatibility: This fly hood is designed to be compatible with most standard bridles. The flexible ear material and crochet construction aim to accommodate various head shapes.
Care: To maintain the appearance and integrity of the Brilliance Fly Hood:
