LeMieux Loire Fly Hood - Jungle - Cotton

The LeMieux Loire Fly Hood is designed with a four-way stretch and soft elastane ears, making it adaptable to a wide range of horse head shapes. However, horses with very small or very large heads may require a specific fit check.

The crochet veil provides a physical barrier against flies and other small insects, significantly reducing annoyance for the horse. The ear fabric also helps deter flies from entering the horse's ears.

Hand washing in cool water is recommended to maintain the integrity and shape of the handmade crochet and delicate trim. Machine washing on a delicate cycle might be possible, but hand washing is preferred for longevity.

'Jungle' refers to the specific colorway of this LeMieux Loire Fly Hood, part of a collection featuring refined color options.

The 100% cotton crochet is reasonably durable for its intended use. However, like all handmade items, it requires careful handling to avoid snags or tears, especially around rough surfaces or other tack.

While the dense crochet weave offers some minimal UV blocking, it is not specifically designed or tested as a UV protection garment. Its primary purpose is fly and distraction deterrence.

Ensure the bridle is fitted correctly and that the fly hood is positioned snugly underneath. Check that the four-way stretch fabric is not being overstretched or constricted by the bridle fit.

Verify that the elastane ear fabric is not rubbing. Ensure no excess stitching or rough seams are present. Try a different size if available or consider if the horse has particularly sensitive ears.

Ensure you are using a mild detergent and washing in cool water. Avoid harsh chemicals or high spin cycles. Reshape the hood while damp and allow it to air dry naturally.
