Sewing bee!

So, genius H&Hers, my horse is getting much better at travelling but as he is such a noise reactive soul anyway, i thought i would help him and get a noise deadening fly veil for when he's on the box. I thought securing it would be as simple as sewing some loops across the poll and threading his headcollar through. But one swift shake of his head spun his headcollar and the ears popped off! ?

What can i do to secure it? Welding it to his head has been considered! Ear plugs are a no go as he is very ear sensitive

How many loops did you use? And wgere did you position them?

Would you consider traveling in a fly mask with no ears? You then sew the acoustic veil on the inside of the fly mask and obviously poke the ears through!!

2 loops just as the ears end i did also sew 2 more at the top of the poll but i don't think they would have made much difference

Hmmm Not a bad shout! I could get the lycra style, cut the eyes and ears out and attach it to that.

Problem with just those loops is that it isn’t anchored solidly anywhere.
Can you attach some ribbon to each side and tie it to the side rings of the headcollar?

So i thought of doing this but if the headcollar moves when he shakes his head will they not still fall off?

Or, if you don't mind spending a little the race horse hoods have acoustic ears and have proper eye holes!!

Get a travelling poll pad and put over top.

Use a brow band with the headcollar.

I attached a thin cord to mine and tie it to the other side it sort of sits where the throat latch is then put the bridle over it, I ride with it like that and it's never come off.
