Derby Originals unique fly bonnets with fringe are a mix between an ear net and fly fringe, and are designed to offer an open alternative to traditional fly masks. These bonnets offer complete ear protection from biting pests, and the extra long fringe that hangs off our bonnets helps to deter flies from landing on your horse’s eyes and face. For horses who will not tolerate a full fly mask, or are prone to pulling them off or ripping them, these are an excellent way to provide relief from flies in summer. These bonnets are ideal for use at pasture or while riding to protect against pests while also increasing visibility thanks to their reflective trim.
