Horses can be bothered and distracted by a number of things when being ridden one of which can be flies. Flies and midges can become a real problem for horses and horse owners in the spring and summer months, causing painful bites, irritation and sometimes behavioural problems leading to a reduction in performance. They often congregate around the eyes and ears, irritating your horse which may cause your horse to shake their head and become upset.

Fly Veils and Fly Hoods can provide a great option for horses that get easily irritated by flies. They are fitted underneath the bridle and are designed to be used when riding. They provide a barrier between your horse’s ears and the bothersome flies to prevent irritation and distraction. Most Fly Veils and Hoods are available as part of a matching set (sold separately) with boots, bandages and saddlecloths available to match!

Take a look at our range of Fly Hoods and Fly Veils from brand including LeMieux and Weatherbeeta to find the perfect style for your horse.
