FAQ
What is a fly veil used for?
A fly veil, also called an ear bonnet or ear net, slips under the bridle to help shield a horse's ears from flies and midges while ridden. Many riders also use one to smarten and co-ordinate their competition turnout.
Can I use this fly veil in competition?
Fly veils are widely permitted in dressage, showjumping and general competition, but rules on decoration and colour vary by discipline and level. Always check the current rulebook of your governing body before you compete.
What is this fly veil made from?
It is made from a smooth cotton blend material with a crocheted front part, finished with glittering piping.
How do I know it will fit my horse?
Measure from ear to ear across the browband and from the browband to the poll, then compare against the size you are ordering. The ear pockets should stand upright without squashing the ears, and the veil should lie flat under the headpiece. Horses with large or upright ears are usually better in the larger size.
Does it match the Waldhausen Competition saddle pad?
Yes, it is designed as a complement to the Waldhausen Competition saddle pad for a co-ordinated look.
How should I wash it?
Shake out loose hair and dust after use, then wash gently at a low temperature with a mild detergent. Air dry away from direct heat to protect the crochet work and piping.
