Ear coverings or ear caps are very similar to the hats that horses wear in show jumping competitions. The reason they wear them goes beyond aesthetics. Have you ever wondered why riders cover the ears of their horses? But for some horses, soundproofing hoods can be useful. Soundproofing is now legal for dressage. No earplugs. It depends on the horse. Some do not like the hoods and will get angry, which does not look good in dressage. But for some horses, soundproofing hoods can be useful. After all, fashion weighs on equestrian sports. Sponsor brands may require riders to wear ear coverings with their brand and colors, or riders may want to match the ear caps with their wardrobe and saddle pads.
Ear covers are available in all styles, colors and designs and their price ranges depending on the brand. Even in the indoor arenas, spectators sit very close to the arena. The sound is amplified and the ear caps help the horses to concentrate and not be easily distracted, allowing the horse and rider to perform better during the competition. These include dressage, endurance and versatility. Dressage horses are not allowed to wear earplugs during the competition and the use of plugs will only be used at the award ceremony. Since they have to play to the rhythm of the music, they cannot cover their ears with plugs. I understand that you find this stupid, my point was that for many people, hoods actually perform a real and protective function in addition to “fashion”. I know you`re new to dressage and have your own ways of doing everything, but try to keep an open mind. You must not have biting mosquitoes where you live? Here, every ear that remains uncovered during the day from spring to autumn is filled with bleeding mosquito bites. Riders choose to attach earmuffs to their horses to distort or dampen the sound.
This helps horses when there are noisy crowds or normal show noises that could scare or distract them and make them anxious on the jump track. In addition, ear caps could be used to cover the earplugs in the horse`s ear to ensure that they do not fall out while riding. How long have earplugs been in shows? Nevertheless, some drivers do not like to use fillers or caps and prefer soundproofing hoods. These are less effective, but have improved a lot in recent years. Since some horses may not like earplugs or feel something in their ears, soundproofing hoods are an effective solution. Most equestrian disciplines allow the use of caps and padded covers. However, earplugs are not allowed in all competitions. While show jumping events generally allow earplugs, other equestrian events do not allow their use. In addition, horses that participate in international competitions are very often transported to different locations. To keep them as relaxed as possible, earplugs and hoods limit noise in a horse box or truck. This helps to keep the transport of horses as calm and relaxed as possible.
Hi guys, I have an eccentric guy that I haven`t shown anymore. It fits very well into the basic Fenwick ear cap. (It looks like a normal hood. Not the face mask) are they legal? I know you can`t have a hood with sound insulation, and you can`t. I`ve attached the link so you can see it. Thank you in advance. Perfect! I didn`t follow the rules so closely. Personally, I`m not a fan of the soundproofing of the hoods. They seem so thick that they must be warm/uncomfortable. In show jumping, especially in high-level competitions such as the LGCT or GCL Grand Prix, there are usually large crowds that gather to watch the riders. All this noise could make the horses anxious about the noise, so earplugs and hoods could be used to help them with the noise.
Another reason why jumping horses wear ear caps is to keep flies and insects away from their ears. Beetles can distract horses as they could disturb them when the horse jumps. Similarly, riders may choose to use earmuffs on horses when training in the field. Hello. I just checked the rulebook and the Fenwick is explicitly mentioned as FEI and USEF legal.
