Product Information

Full details

The Hy Fly Veil is ideal for horse owners seeking a practical, lightweight solution to keep insects away from their horse's eyes and ears during turnout or riding. Crafted from heavy-duty cotton yarn, this veil provides an effective barrier against pests while maintaining excellent airflow and visibility for the horse. One caveat to keep in mind is that because it attaches to a head collar or bridle rather than featuring a full mask design, it may be less effective for horses that are highly sensitive to facial midges compared to full-coverage mesh masks.

FAQs

Can this be used while riding?

Yes, the Hy Fly Veil is designed to be compatible with both bridles and head collars, making it perfect for riding.

Will this cover the horse's eyes?

No, the design is intended to provide protection while allowing the horse to maintain clear, unobstructed vision.

Is it machine washable?

It is recommended to hand wash the veil in cool water to preserve the integrity of the yarn and the Velcro adhesive.

Can I leave this on 24/7?

While durable, it is best used during the day when flies are most active and should be removed if the horse is left unsupervised for long periods to prevent snagging.

Does it come in different sizes?

The Hy Fly Veil is designed with adjustable Velcro, allowing it to fit most standard horse sizes.

Troubleshooting

The veil slides down or moves around the face.

Check that the Velcro fastenings are pulled tight against the bridle headpiece. You may need to overlap the Velcro tabs more securely.

The veil is collecting burrs or debris from the field.

Regularly brush out the yarn with a soft-bristled dandy brush and avoid turnout in heavily overgrown areas if possible.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the Hy Fly Veil, simply drape the top strap over the crown piece of your bridle or head collar and secure the Velcro tabs tightly to ensure it does not slide. Ensure the veil hangs low enough to cover the brow area but high enough that it does not touch the horse’s nostrils.

Compatibility is universal; the Velcro straps are designed to accommodate most leather or synthetic headpieces. To care for your veil, hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent when it becomes soiled with sweat or dirt. Air dry thoroughly before re-attaching, and ensure the Velcro remains free of hair or debris to maintain a strong grip.
