Horse wearing a hand-knitted BYT ear bonnet
Fig. 01 — ear bonnet “Sunrise Flame”BYT

How it started

It started with one horse

01 / Story

BYT started with one horse. Bomond, my gelding, kept shaking his head in shop-bought ear bonnets — they simply did not fit him: too tight at the ears, too loose under the bridle. So I knitted a pair myself, choosing the yarn, trying it on, undoing and starting again.

Since 2023 every pair is knitted by hand, one at a time, for one specific horse and one specific owner. Not for a warehouse.

Every bonnet is knitted to individual measurements, so it stays in place during work and does not rub the base of the ears. Colours, edging and the BYT logo are made to order.

Soft mercerised cotton, hypoallergenic, holds its shape after washing. An optional noise-reducing insert goes inside the ear for horses that are sensitive to sound.

Comfort, protection and a fit that holds

02 / What it does
Knitted by hand, one pair at a time

No two pairs leave the workshop identical — the yarn, the edging and the BYT logo are chosen for your horse.

Nothing rubs

Soft mercerised cotton against the base of the ears, no stiff seams inside. Comfortable for long training sessions and long days at a show.

A fit that stays put

Knitted to your horse's measurements, so the bonnet sits close under the bridle and does not slide forward.

Training, shows, everything between

An optional noise-reducing insert goes inside the ear for horses that are sensitive to sound.

03 / Made with care

Made by hand, with the horse in mind

Each pair is knitted to the shape of your horse's head and ears, in soft yarn that does not irritate the skin. BYT is chosen by riders who care about their horse's comfort and about how the pair looks under the bridle. Shipping across Europe and the CIS.
