Which Fly Mask Is Right for Your Horse?
Not every horse needs the same mask. Match your horse's trouble spots to the right coverage, and summer gets a whole lot quieter -- for both of you.
Start with what bothers your horse most. Each trouble spot points to the coverage that solves it.
Sensitive, weepy or runny eyes
Choose a mask with generous eye darts that hold the mesh off the eye -- a standard, well-fitted fly mask is the everyday workhorse for most horses.
Pink or sunburn-prone nose
Add nose coverage. An extendable-nose mask shields a light or pink muzzle from UV and biting flies where sunburn and summer sores start.
Gnat-bothered, head-shy ears
Pick a mask with ears. Covering the ears stops the itching and head-shaking that make a horse hard to handle and ride.
Rough on turnout gear
Go for a durable mesh mask built to survive pasture play, rubbing, and rowdy turnout without tearing.
