Fly veils, functional and stylish

Flies and other insects often pester horses. The more a horse is bothered, the more it shakes its head. Sometimes the irritation can be so much, the focus of the horse is not on the training. This has a negative impact on your performance, for example on a competition. That’s why a fly veil is a great way to protect a horse’s ears. A fly veil ensures a higher level of concentration, which is useful in all kinds of situations. It mainly helps with spooky horses. At Kentucky Horsewear, we develop highly functional products that remain stylish. We only use materials that do not harm other animals.

What’s the purpose of a fly veil?

The ears are one of the most sensitive body parts of a horse. Therefore, good protection is essential. A fly veil is ideal for keeping flies and other insects away from a horse’s ears. That’s why this aid is often used while training or during a competition. Moreover, a fly veil is a fashion item. To get the full Kentucky look, most of our fly veils are available in a color that matches our saddle pads. This way, you and your horse will always look stylish.

Which fly veil is right for my horse?

Do you regularly compete with your horse? Then a soundless fly veil is an excellent choice. It improves the focus of both the horse and rider. Is your horse not impressed by sounds in his environment? Then a normal fly veil is the way to go. We have them in a lot of different colors so they can match the rest of your tack. Besides our fly veils, we also have fly masks. A fly mask protects a horse’s eyes and ears from insects. Fly masks are mainly used in the pasture. Our fly masks can also be used while training your horse or pony.

How do you put a fly veil on your horse?

A Fly veil is quite easy to put over a horse’s ears, however you do have to be careful. First put one ear into the fly veil and gently pull it down till the tip of the ear is in the tip of the fly veil. Then put the other ear in the fly veil, as you did for the other one. Next you put on the bridle of your horse like you normally do.The benefit of our fly veils is that you don’t have to fasten it with cords as we have a longer neck part to avoid the fly veil from slipping under your bridle.
