your horse's ear flap is supplied by several sensitive nerves? Among others, branches of the facial nerve and the great auricular nerve run there. This explains why touches and insects in the ear area can be particularly annoying and often trigger immediate reactions.

What is the difference between a fly bonnet and a fly mask?

A fly bonnet is worn under the bridle while riding and primarily protects the ears from insects. A fly mask, on the other hand, covers larger parts of the head and is mainly used in the pasture, paddock, or stable.

Can a fly bonnet reduce head tossing and restlessness while riding?

Yes, if flies or gnats in the ear area are the cause. Insects can significantly irritate horses and promote head tossing. However, if such reactions occur even without insects, there may be other underlying causes that should be investigated accordingly.

How should a fly bonnet fit under the bridle?

It should lie flat against the horse's head and leave sufficient room for the natural movement of the ears. No thick folds should form under the headpiece or browband that could cause additional pressure.

Is the fly bonnet also suitable for hot summer days?

Yes. The breathable cotton blend allows air to circulate and is designed for use during the warm season. After strenuous training, however, the bonnet should be removed and dried completely.

Can I also use the fly bonnet at a competition?

Yes. Ear protection is generally permitted under current FN regulations. The field of vision and ear movement must not be impaired, and the eyes and bridge of the nose must remain free. Additionally, the requirements of the specific competition always take precedence.

Why is a fly bonnet particularly useful for sensitive horse ears?

The ear region is very sensitive to touch and annoying insects. By preventing flies and gnats from reaching the ears directly, such stimuli are reduced, allowing the horse to focus better on the rider during work.
