First impressions
We tried the bright turquoise, which had a love/hate reaction among everyone on the yard.
Overview of performance
It fitted well and we liked the softer material for the ears.
Tamsin’s likes and dislikes
These ears were more “scalloped” in shape than others in the group test — they were a bit too loose on some horses, while they fitted others really well. The horses found them comfortable and they did seem to reduce noise.
Verdict
*BEST VALUE* A really good value fly bonnet that does what it says on the tin.
