Why EquuSound

At EquuSound, we believe every horse deserves to feel confident, calm, and protected in noisy environments. We've seen firsthand how noise can stress even the best-trained horses, impacting performance and well-being. That's why we're on a mission to provide custom-fit sound-attenuating earplugs that work with the horse's natural anatomy. Because when your horse feels better, you both perform better.

Testimonials From the Saddle

“As a Veterinarian, I truly appreciate the thoughtful anatomical design of EquuSound Horse Earplugs. Unlike traditional options, these plugs are custom-molded to fit each horse’s unique ear shape, ensuring superior comfort and effective noise protection. We use them not just for shooting but also for traveling in trailers, loud barns, and maintaining focus in the arena. Since getting custom sets for our horses, we’ve seen a huge difference—no more head shaking, improved reactions to loud noises, and they stay in place much better than standard ear plugs. This product truly takes equine care to the next level!”
- Dr. Alanna Layton, DVM

"Thelma was more calm than ever before. She never threw her head up at any shots, just ran straight and true. Our times, and ultimately our class win are a testament that these are the best equine earplugs in the world. If you're running without them, you're running at a disadvantage."-W. Martin SM2 CMSA Western US Championship Class Winner

"I can't say enough good things about EquuSound ear plugs. Before I started using them, my horse would spook hard at loud noises-especially things like indoor gunfire during mounted shooting events. Even just in the warm-up arenas at Vegas he would become stressed and anxious. Since switching to EquuSound, he's like a different horse. With the plugs in, he stays calm, focused, and way more confident, even in chaotic environments. They fit so well that he doesn't try to shake them out, and I can tell he's way more comfortable overall. It's a huge relief to finally have a solution that actually works"-C. Campbell CMSA M1

"We've had a buddy-sour mare who would constantly call out at gymkhanas, whether to her trailer mate or just to see who might answer her whenever we were at new arenas.  It got to the point where she once stopped mid-pattern just to whinny at another horse.  The distraction was frustrating and clearly affected her focus.We recently heard about EquuSound and thought, "Well, if she can't hear anyone answer her, maybe she'll settle down."  And it worked!  From the first use, we noticed a big difference.  She was calm, focused and quiet! They were easy to attach to her headstall, stayed in place well, and allowed her ears to move naturally.  If you're dealing with a buddy sour, or overly vocal horse and easily distracted in new environments, I highly recommend giving EquuSound a try!"-C. Gutierrez

"I've been using EquuSound earplugs for a while now, and they continue to impress me. I recently stopped by their booth in Las Vegas and was reminded why I trust this brand-their product quality is exceptional and their customer service is second to none. If you're looking for reliable, well-made ear protection for your horses, I highly recommend EquuSound."-T. Temple CMSA M2

"I've been working with my Appy Skye for multiple years to accept mounting shooting. He has been very reactive to the sound, especially his left ear. I tried multiple earplugs with no success until I found EquuSound. For the first time I completed 5 stages under 30 seconds and shot clean. Last year we had to quit after 3 stages!"-D. Olson CMSA SL5

"I just took 3rd place out of 23 in my L4 class at Western US Championship in Vegas, which was my highest placing ever at a major shoot! This season has been our winningest yet, and I truly believe a big part of that is thanks to EquuSound earplugs. My horse isn't distracted or uncomfortable anymore. She's focused and listening, and we feel more in sync than ever." A. Cooper CMSA L4
