My horse is not happy about getting midges in her ears at the moment so I need to buy a fly bonnet.
Could you recommend a good one that fits well and sits still?
I would also be interested to know how the sizing is. Does it come up large or small?
Horse is a smallish warmblood who usually has cob size bridles, or a very small full size.

It needs to be smart and discrete so not to embaress her :p

Thank you!!:)

You'd probably find a whitaker a good fit, their full comes up very small. I like kingsland and eskadron because mine have mule ears!!
 
My horse has huge donkey esque ears but a normal size head and the eskadron, HKM, mark todd and cottage craft ones fit him well. Hkm are a bit smaller in the ear department, the eskadron are stretchy and are my favourite set but the cottage craft and mark Todd are massive!
 
I have the veredus one and matching saddle pad- I think it's smart without being OTT

I think it looks nice, the ears are stretchy kind of material so I think the what fit most size ears

Here is my boy in his matchey matchey

 
Eurostar! My little warm blood is same bridle size as yours and we have several sets of ears from Eurostar well made and look great
 
Just buy the ones you like..

If the ear pieces are too big, just mark where her ears finish.
Turn the ear pieces inside out and run a sewing machine accross the top, leaving about a centimetre gap to allow for the seam.

I have had to do this to my Euro Star ones as they don't fit my boy's little ears and go all floppy.
 
I found le mieux ones came up sort of small? Maybe Mags has huge ears :D Mark Todd ones are really cheap, they fitted her nicely too, they are not quite as quality of the le mieux but literally a quarter of the price :)
