Troubleshooting

Fly hood slips during use

Ensure the fly hood is the correct size for your horse. Check that the bridle is fitted correctly and not overly tight, which could cause the hood to shift. Make sure the crochet portion is seated smoothly under the bridle.

Horse seems uncomfortable or resistant to wearing the hood

Verify the size and fit, ensuring ears are not cramped and there are no pressure points. Introduce the hood gradually. Check for any loose threads or rough seams inside that might cause irritation.

Crochet material snagged or damaged

Carefully trim any snags with small scissors without cutting the main fabric. Avoid contact with sharp objects or rough surfaces. Follow care instructions to prevent damage.
