When I couldn’t find the perfect fly bonnet for my own horse, I set out to make one myself. After teaching myself to crochet, experimenting with patterns, and refining my technique over time, I created a bonnet that combined the fit, quality, and style I had always wanted. From there, Bascule Bonnets was born.
Inspired by my own goals in the hunter and jumper rings, the name “Bascule Bonnets” reflects the beautiful arc a horse forms over a jump—a picture of balance, elegance, and athleticism. I bring that same attention to detail into every bonnet I make. While fly bonnets are undeniably practical, they’re also one of the easiest ways to showcase your personal style, represent your barn colors, or create a polished, coordinated look for the show ring.
Today, Bascule Bonnets specializes in fully custom, handcrafted fly bonnets for horses and ponies. I also offer a curated selection of ready-made bonnets and designs that can be customized to the size and style needed. Each bonnet is crocheted with premium 100% mercerized cotton for durability and a smooth, professional finish. The ears are crafted from a soft, breathable 4-way stretch spandex to comfortably fit a range of ear shapes and sizes—even in warmer climates. Soundproof ears are available on many designs as well.
Whether you’re looking for a completely custom design, a thoughtful gift, or a ready-to-ship option for your next show, I’m here to help you find (or create!) the perfect bonnet.
