If your pony isn’t affected by either of these issues, then you don’t need to invest in one, but if your pony is sound sensitive or seems bothered by the insects around his head, then check them out! ALSO - ear bonnets come in many different designs and colours, meaning you can choose to get one to match your saddle pad, boots or even your own outfit!
