Product Overview

The Fly Fringe Ear Bonnet combines a lightweight ear-covering bonnet with hanging fringe positioned over the forehead and in front of the upper face. Designed for seasonal horse care assortments, it offers an open-front alternative to a full fly mask for suitable horses and supervised use.

For US equestrian brands, wholesalers and distributors, the key sourcing decisions are fit, fringe length, secure attachment, material selection and consistent sizing across repeat orders. Carlson Saddlery supports OEM and private-label development based on an approved sample and agreed product specifications.

Key Features

  • Bonnet-style ear coverage with free-hanging fringe across the forehead area.
  • Fringe movement may help discourage flies near the face; effectiveness varies with fit, insect pressure and use conditions.
  • Open design with less enclosure than a full fly mask; not equivalent to full eye or face protection.
  • Choice of bonnet fabric, ear shape, fringe material, color and finishing subject to sample approval.
  • Options for private-label branding, barcode labels and retail-ready packaging.

Applications

  • Seasonal fly-care product ranges for tack shops and distributors.
  • Grazing and turnout routines where the fit and conditions are appropriate.
  • Coordinated ranges alongside fly masks, fly sheets and other horse care accessories.
  • Private-label equestrian accessory collections for the US market.

Use note: The fringe should not obstruct the horse’s vision or become caught on surrounding objects. Check fit, attachment security and horse comfort before use. This bonnet is not a substitute for a properly fitted fly mask where more complete protection is required.

FAQ

Does a fly fringe ear bonnet replace a fly mask?

No. Its open design and hanging fringe are different from a fitted fly mask. Choose the product according to the horse, conditions and desired coverage.

Can the fringe length and density be customized?

Yes. We can review buyer-specified length, spacing, material and color during sample development. The finished fringe must be checked for fit, visibility and secure attachment.

Can you produce pony and full sizes?

Buyer-specific sizing can be developed or reviewed against reference samples. Final size availability and grading are confirmed during sampling.

What is the MOQ for private-label orders?

Our standard MOQ is 100 pieces per color/style, subject to review for special materials, components or packaging.

What should I include in a quotation request?

Send product photos or a reference sample, target material, fringe length, size ratio, color quantities, logo artwork, packaging requirements and delivery destination.
