FAQs
Is this fly veil suitable for turnout?
This model is primarily designed for riding sessions; we recommend using a full-coverage mask for extended turnout to prevent snags.
What material is used for the ears?
The ears are made of a highly breathable, permeable polyester mesh.
Can I machine wash this product?
We recommend hand washing to preserve the delicate crochet work and the elasticity of the fabric.
Does the veil come in different sizes?
Yes, this model is available in various sizes including Pony, Cob, and Full to accommodate different horse breeds.
Will this block UV rays?
No, this product is designed for insect protection and is not treated for UV radiation blocking.
Troubleshooting
The fly veil keeps slipping off during movement
Ensure the browband of the bridle is properly adjusted to hold the veil's headpiece securely against the horse's poll.
The mesh ears appear flattened or misshapen
Gently reshape the ears by hand while damp and lay them flat to air dry; avoid folding the mesh during storage.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To apply the fly veil, simply place it over the horse's ears before putting on the bridle. Ensure the crocheted brow lies flat against the forehead to avoid discomfort. This product is compatible with most standard English bridles. To maintain the life of the product, it is recommended to hand wash the item in lukewarm water with a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or harsh bleaching agents, as these can degrade the elasticity of the fabric and damage the delicate crochet trim. Air dry the veil completely before storing it away.
