How to Use
- Bridle your horse as normal, leaving the browband loose or slipping the veil on before the headpiece is settled.
- Slide the mesh ears gently over each ear, easing the forelock through or under as preferred.
- Position the front edge of the veil under the browband so the browband holds it in place.
- Check there is clearance behind the ears and that no fabric is pinched under the headpiece.
- After riding, remove the veil before the bridle, shake off dust and hair, and store it flat.
FAQ
Does a fly veil stop flies completely?
No. A fly veil is a physical barrier over the ears that helps keep flies off the most sensitive area and reduces head shaking. It does not replace a fly spray or a full fly mask for turnout.
What size fly veil should I choose?
Choose by your horse's usual bridle size - pony, cob or full. If your horse is between sizes, go for the size that leaves clearance behind the ears. A veil that is too small pulls forward and sits under the browband awkwardly.
Will it fit under my bridle?
Yes. The Classic Fly Veil uses a no pressure-point design so it lies flat under modern bridle shapes, with the browband sitting over the front edge to hold it in place.
Can I use it for competition?
It is styled for competition with matte satin fabric and rope binding, but ear net rules vary by discipline and level, so check the rules of your governing body before you compete.
How do I wash a fly veil?
Hand wash gently in cool water with a mild detergent, reshape the ears and dry naturally away from direct heat. Avoid tumble drying and keep the mesh away from rough hook-and-loop fastenings.
Does it match other Woof Wear products?
The matte satin fabric is made to coordinate with the Woof Wear Herringbone Collection, so it can be worn as part of a matching set.
