Fly Veils

Fly veils and ear bonnets, around twenty in all, most of them Kentucky. The bulk of the page is the Soundless family, from the everyday Soundless veil and the Lucky Charms to the Wellington in its Stone & Pearl and Leather finishes. Single veils from CWD, Butet and Dyon sit alongside. For the horse that stops listening the moment a tannoy crackles or the flies arrive, this page is the simplest fix in the tack room.

The soundless idea

Kentucky's Soundless veils are built to dull noise at the ears, which is why they dominate this page. A sharp horse in a busy indoor, a young one at its first show, a hunter that hates the horn from the next covert: quieter ears buy you a calmer brain to work with. The rest of the range does the everyday job of keeping flies and dust off through a British summer.

Matching the bridle

Riders in CWD, Butet or Dyon bridlework can finish the picture here: each of those makers has a single veil on the page, made to sit with its own tack.

Frequently Asked Questions

What fly veil brands do you stock?

Kentucky Horsewear dominates the fly veil range with the Wellington line (the brand's signature soundless fly veil) in plain, leather, glitter, pearl, metal chain and Velcro-fastening variants, plus the Soundless Fly Veil and Long Stone & Pearl options for a more decorative finish. We also stock CWD and Butet jumping ear bonnets, the Dyon Fly Hat, the Kentucky Fly Mask for paddock turnout, and Kentucky Lucky Charms for adding decorative weight to the bonnet ear tips.
When should I use a fly veil?

A fly veil keeps insects away from the ears during work in warm weather and dampens noise from the wider environment - useful for show ring focus and for horses sensitive to crowd or arena noise. The Soundless Wellington range muffles sound deliberately for horses that benefit from reduced auditory input. Fly masks for paddock turnout protect the eyes from flies all day.
How do I size a fly veil for my horse?

Most fly veils come in pony, cob and full. Ear length and head shape vary between breeds, so a good fit needs the ears to sit comfortably without pinching at the base. The Wellington range fits most modern sport horses well; for traditional or unusual head shapes, contact us before ordering.
Are fly veils competition-legal?

Most plain fly veils are legal in show jumping, dressage and eventing under FEI and most national rules. Heavy decoration (large stones, crystals, metal chains) is sometimes restricted depending on the discipline and class - always check the rule book before competing. The Wellington Soundless and standard Soundless veils are legal in all FEI disciplines.
Are fly veils machine-washable?

Most Kentucky and Dyon fly veils are machine-washable on a cool cycle with a mild detergent. Decorative finishes (pearls, metal chains, glitter) can usually be washed but follow the label carefully to preserve the decoration. Air-dry; avoid the tumble dryer.
Do you stock noise-reducing fly veils?

Yes - the Kentucky Wellington Soundless and Soundless Fly Veil ranges use sound-dampening ear pieces designed to reduce auditory input for horses that benefit from a quieter ride or show environment. Both sit at the everyday end of the Kentucky range and are legal in FEI competition.
