You said this before I could! No way would I let a horse be upset and stressed because I didn’t think his fly protection was “fashionable”.
It’s in the link posted just below you. I just took a screen shot of it for convenience on my phone.
I think you and I are the only people who dislike swoopy browbands. I did see an old-fashioned clincher browband the other day and thought it looked nice. I’m almost tempted.
Thank you!
Big assumptions here. My mare will shake her head like crazy if she even senses a fly near her ears.
I had a comment on one test where we scored decent but it could have been mid 70s without the head shake. Since then it’s ear bonnets always.
So yeah, even for 5 minutes they can be important for some.
Also Ive been using bonnets since the early 90s l they aren’t exactly new and yep 30 years later still using them.
I don’t like them either. It was difficult to find a new bridle this summer for my new mare without one!
