Machine wash on a low temperature, ideally 30°C, using a laundry bag. Use a washing tablet or capsule. Air dry away from heat.
No, avoid bleach and harsh detergents. Stick to standard laundry detergents and the recommended low washing temperature to protect the satin and crochet materials.
The hood is designed for a close fit with soft stretch ears for comfort and compatibility with most bridles. However, extreme ear sizes or head shapes might require a custom fit.
The satin front piece is luxurious but requires careful handling. It is not intended for strenuous activity that could lead to snags. Follow care instructions to maintain its appearance.
Yes, the LeMieux Loire Fly Hood is often used in competitions as it combines protection with a smart, professional appearance, provided it complies with specific competition rules regarding ear bonnets.
Chilli Red is a vibrant, warm shade of red, offering a striking and eye-catching look for your horse's tack.
The soft stretch lycra ears help to block out dust, flies, and other small insects, reducing distractions and preventing irritation to your horse's sensitive ears.
Ensure the fly hood is correctly positioned. The stretch lycra ears should fit snugly but comfortably. If the crochet portion is too tight, it may need to be exchanged for a different size. If too loose, check placement and ensure it's not obstructed by the bridle.
Re-check the fit to ensure no part of the bridle is pinching or rubbing against the fly hood. Ensure the lycra ears are not pulling too tightly. Remove the hood if irritation persists and consult the 'Care' instructions for washing to remove any potential irritants.
Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces. If a minor snag occurs, try to gently smooth it out. For significant damage, repair may be difficult due to the fabric type. Follow care instructions meticulously to prevent future damage.
Setup: The LeMieux Loire Fly Hood is designed for immediate use. Simply place it over your horse's ears and adjust so it sits smoothly. Ensure the ears are correctly positioned within the lycra sections and that the crochet portion fits comfortably around the forelock and poll. It should fit snugly under the bridle without interfering with the bridle's placement or pressure points.
Compatibility: This fly hood is designed to be compatible with most standard bridle types. The close-contact, stretchy ear design ensures it can accommodate various ear shapes and sizes, fitting securely beneath the bridle cheekpieces and browband.
