What benefits does a fly veil offer my horse?
A relaxing summer ride can quickly become stressful if you and your horse are besieged by flies, horseflies, and gnats. In addition to an effective fly spray and a fly riding sheet, a fly veilcan help protect your horse's sensitive ears from annoying insects. Gnats, in particular, tend to enter the horse's ears. With a fly veil, you can alleviate this problem and prevent your horse from constantly shaking its head to relieve the itching. Moreover, gnats in the ears can cause injuries and allergic reactions.
Most fly veils for horsesare not only functional, breathable, and airy in cut, but also fashionable accessories. They are available in various trend colors, with decorative cords and matching the current color trends of the season – a stylish addition to your saddle pad.
Ensure that the ear parts are made of elastic material to ensure the ideal fit for your horse. When choosing, you should also pay attention to the shape of the fly ears and the fit, as not every fly veilsuits every horse.
Which fly veil can my horse wear at a competition?
A stylish fly veilnot only completes your competition outfit but should also comply with the prescribed rules. Choose a fly veilin matching colors to ensure a harmonious overall look.
However, not every fly veil is suitable for competitions. According to the LPO (German Equestrian Federation's competition rules), a fly veil must not extend over the eye line or cover the nose line. Only fly veils that cover the ears are permitted. Those that reach the noseband and are attached to it are not allowed at competitions according to the LPO. Fly veils with soundproofing are only permitted at indoor competitions, provided that the soundproofing does not extend into the horse's ear canal or block it.
Before you decide on a fly veil, you should always consult the currently valid LPO to ensure that the chosen veil complies with the competition rules.
