Ear plugs...how far in?

[Summit]

I have some pomms ear plugs but not sure how far to push them in as I’m worried I’ll lose them

I tried yesterday as my horse hates clippers but they didn’t make any difference so only assume I didn’t put them in far enough

Just shove em in ... they can’t go too far!

You won't lose them! You can push them in quite a way - poms you tend to push down so they are just level with the opening of the ear.

I much prefer earplugs with string on them - quick pull and they are out. But i do have poms for when out and about and you don't want a string flapping about or showing.

How do they compare noise lessening wise to acoustic ear veil? I find these help with my mare but find bridle slips off quite easily as she’s only got little ears.

Loads better in my experience - they are the only thing that used to settle convo when it was windy - a veil has no effect at all

You can get different types of ear plugs that give different noise levels. The poms can block all noise completely - some horses don't like being made deaf, some love it! Some plugs you get let in dulled down noise.

I’ve sewn the poms into tights and attached laces. At least I can get them out easier
