Riders describe how LeMieux fly bonnets and sheets work for them.
My horse is generally very calm, but excited at shows. This fly bonnet helped keep him chill, focused on our dressage test, and unbothered by flies. Super happy to have discovered this product! Will definitely be using it at our upcoming shows.
I have a LeMieux fly sheet. The fit is similar to a Rambo, but I feel as though the fly sheet is lighter than the Rambo fly sheets.

Start with how much of the face your horse needs covered. Full masks such as Bug Relief, 360 Vision and Kudos AeroGuard Full add mesh over the nose; half masks cover the face and ears and leave the muzzle open. Armourshield Pro comes in full, half and standard versions.
Each line has its own strength. Armourshield Pro uses heavy-duty silver UV-blocking mesh with bamboo lining over the contact points. Visor-Tek has a hexagon-pattern black mesh that blocks 70% of UV rays, with polar fleece binding. Bug Relief is a four-way stretch pull-on with 75% UV protection.
Fly masks and ear bonnets use letter sizes, X Small to X Large. Fly sheets, fly rugs and summer sheets use inches in 3-inch steps, and most styles run from 57 to 87 inches.
A mask should stand off the eyes without touching them, sit snug enough that it stays put when your horse grazes, and leave room for a finger under the strap at the jaw. Check each product page for its size notes, or use Find your fit at the top of the page.

LeMieux ear bonnets sit under the bridle to keep flies and distractions off your horse's ears. Classic, Vogue, Loire, Essence and Puissance are crochet-veil styles with stretch ear fabric, Air-Tek Mesh is an all-mesh bonnet for warm weather, and Junior Pro is made for the younger rider and pony.
Acoustic Pro and Diamante Acoustic add a layer of dense sound-proof micro-foam that absorbs sharp or loud noise. Separate Acoustic Inserts fit into LeMieux fly bonnets, and most styles come in several colors.
LeMieux sheets and rugs run from mesh-only fly sheets to hybrids with a waterproof topline. Arika ArmourTek is a lightweight fly sheet with 85% UV protection, Kudos AeroGuard is a ripshield-mesh fly blanket, and Arika Sunstopper is a transitional sheet with a UPF50+ ripstop upper over a mesh lower section.
For changeable weather, Arika Shower-Tek and Kudos Shower Pro add a waterproof topline. For sweet itch, look at the Kudos Shower Pro Sweet Itch Rug and the Kudos Sweet Itch Blanket. The Scrim Sheet is a lightweight mesh dress sheet for wearing between classes at shows.

LeMieux fly gear suits riders who show, ride through fly season or turn out in warm weather.
LeMieux fly gear suits show riders who want a tidy ear bonnet, young riders and ponies, owners of horses bothered by biting insects including sweet itch, riders who exercise in fly season, and horses turned out in warm weather.
CloseA full mask adds mesh over the nose, while a half mask covers the face and ears and leaves the muzzle open. Armourshield Pro comes in full, half and standard versions. Pick by how much coverage your horse needs, then check that the mask stands off the eyes and stays put when your horse grazes.
CloseMeasure from the center of the chest along the side to the tail and choose the closest size in inches. Most styles run from 57 to 87 inches in 3-inch steps, so check the size notes on the product page if you are between sizes.
CloseAcoustic bonnets use a layer of dense sound-proof micro-foam to absorb sharp or loud noise, which LeMieux says helps concentration and relaxation. Acoustic Pro and Diamante Acoustic are the acoustic styles, and Diamante has a deeper section behind the ears for anatomical bridle headpieces. Choose a crochet style such as Classic when looks matter more than noise reduction.
CloseThe Kudos Shower Pro Sweet Itch Rug and the Kudos Sweet Itch Blanket. The Shower Pro Sweet Itch Rug is made of 400 denier diamond ripstop with extra poll, wither and top-of-tail protection, a waterproof topline, full belly coverage and a detachable full neck that secures over the ears.
