Best soundproof ear bonnet?

[baybertha]

Looking to buy a soundproof ear bonnet for my eventer. He gets very distracted by sounds and what's going on around him in the dressage, which is a shame as he is capable of doing a very nice test if he concentrated!

Wanted to try a bonnet and see whether it makes any difference, I thought that the Le Mieux acoustic fly hood looked good. Has anyone got any recommendations?

Thanks.

My friend used them on a very sensitive show pony and they really helped him.

Are you allowed to use ear bonnets in dressage? I didn’t think you were, but I have no knowledge of BE rules.

I’ve got a brilliant one that I don’t use any more . Can’t remember the name - Equi something £50 approx. If you’re near me you could borrow it to try.

I use the Le Mieux acoustic ones on my mare and it has made a huge difference in the warm ups particularly. They are BD legal - not sure about BE though. They do come up a little small in the sizing. My mare is a 14.2 Welsh x Arab and she has the large size.
