"We have a one eyed Hony at our barn so I thought it would be fun to have this fly mask! Her bad eye is obviously covered by the patch😝. I was concerned the cob size would be too big when I first saw it. To my surprise it fit her perfectly."
"I bought this mask in the cob size for my grade 8 year old mare, who is mostly TB. She is fine boned, has a small head but TB ears, so it was fingers crossed that the mask would fit and her ears would not be crowded into it. It fit wonderfully with room to spare! The elastic on the velcro closures is a great touch so I don't worry about her getting hung up anyway if she scratches and the elastic around the lower face does the job of contouring the mask to her face. She needed the UV protection so I was thrilled to be able to not only achieve that in her size but to get such a fun mask was the icing on the cake. Her paddock mates had to make sure it was her, lol, and everyone that sees her in it comments on how cute it is. She is definitely an old soul with character so it quite fits her in more ways than one."
"This mask is well made and the Cobb size fits our Arabian mare perfectly. Plus it adds a big smile to our turnout routine!"
"Love this mask to give a horse a little personality."
"We love it. We got to make our Father’s Day cards."
"My girl looks amazing in this mask! She deserves some bright eyes and glasses to prance around the pasture in. She’s blind but nothing stops her and this mask only demonstrates further her sass and determination! Besides it makes everyone laugh! ♥️ The mask also protects her eyes from the sun and flies. She wears a mask year round! Thank you for making a high quality mask."
"Perfect fit! My 27 yr old Haflinger looks fantastic: the fit & straps! Everything is 5 stars !!"
"My horse, Willy, only has one eye so this mask was perfect. Only thing that would make it better is if the patch was on the other side."
"Good quality mask. Runs larger than I expected. Full size is a little big on my 16 hand horse who has a head like a thoroughbred. Hard to get a completely snug fit where the flies can’t get in at the nose end. The pirate design is a hoot though and I got it for $20 so a good deal!"
"Fit the horse well, provided great insect protection that was comfortable."
