Cotton Crochet Ear Bonnet — Horse Hood
Soft cotton crochet ear bonnet with breathable neck cover. Classic handcrafted style for schooling, hacking, and competition turnout.
Product Details
The crochet ear bonnet is a staple of the dressage and show ring — a classic accessory that frames the horse's head beautifully while providing practical protection from flies and debris around the ears during work. This soft cotton version delivers the traditional handcrafted aesthetic in a breathable, comfortable construction that horses accept readily.
The soft cotton yarn is gentle against the skin of the ear, preventing the irritation that stiffer synthetic materials can cause. The breathable open-weave construction allows airflow around the ears and poll, keeping the horse cool during warm-weather schooling and competition without sacrificing the fly protection that keeps horses focused during work.
The neck cover extends down the crest, providing coverage over the sensitive poll area where flies most commonly land and cause head-shaking. The fit is snug enough to stay in place at all paces while remaining easy to put on and remove before and after sessions.
Available in Brown and Red. The warm earth tones coordinate beautifully with leather tack and natural-coloured browbands for a traditional, elegant competition turnout.

Beautiful ear bonnet. The crochet quality is lovely and it sits perfectly on my mare's head. The brown complements her bay coat and my tan leather tack beautifully. Gets lots of compliments at shows.
Lovely traditional bonnet. The cotton is soft and my horse didn't fuss with it at all from the first ride. It stays in place well even in canter and looks very elegant. Great value for a handcrafted piece.
Really beautiful bonnet. The crochet work is neat and the cotton is very soft. The red is a rich warm colour that photographs wonderfully. Fits well and my mare is comfortable in it. Would definitely buy again.
