She makes them in any size and THEY FIT! I bought a pair for Tank and Penny with some reservation. Every time I've bought an ear net for Tank, Penny winds up with it because they've never been wide enough between the ears, nor long enough to get her big ears into. These did the job!!!!

Here's Tanks:

and Here's Penny's:

I'll try to get pictures of the mares modeling their newest bling tomorrow. ;D

So cool looking forward to pictures. Why put ear nets on them?

Two words: DEER FLIES!!!

They are absolutely horrendous this year. Swarms of them buzzing around those tender ears. I cannot go out on trail without them firmly ensconsed upon the mare's ears.

I also spray them with hunter-strength repellant (30% DEET). Works like a charm!

And looks good too!!!! ;D

Here's Tank modeling her new cha-cha ears!

Looks great. I guess we don't have Deer flies that bad. I was riding htis morning and it was great and hardly any bugs(pests).

[Chocomare]

Well you're the lucky one then. With the drought it has brought out the dear flies en masse. If you stay out in the open, you're fine. But the second you set hoof inside/near the woods, here they come. Nasty things! #10_5_3#

We have to watch out for the buck/horse flies and we get Mosquitoes like no tomorrow. Although we seem to be doing well this year. Last year it was more intense.
