Key benefits
The Most Comfortable Material with Optimal Insect Protection
This fly mask combines our 350D extra fine “window screen” nylon mesh with our patented X-Spand® lycra jaw, creating the MOST COMFORTABLE fitting fly mask. The lycra jaw is form-fitting, leaving no gaps for flies. It allows your horse to move their jaw naturally without restriction, providing insect protection against small biting insects, like gnats and midges, and medium-sized insects, like stable and deer flies. It’s well-fitted with wide eye darts, offers better airflow for horses that live in moderate to warm climates, and provides 40% UV protection.
The Patented X-Spand® Lycra Jaw for Fit and Comfort
The X-Spand® Lycra Jaw makes this the most comfortable fly mask available! The form-fitting design leaves no gaps for insects to get through and does not restrict your horse’s natural grazing motion. With this fly mask, you’ll discover your horse can move their jaw naturally without restriction, staying comfortable all day. U.S. Patent # 16/850,106
Without Ears for a Happy Horse
If your horse has sensitive ears, they may be irritated by fly masks with ear coverage. This mask WITHOUT Ears provides your horse with the same great insect protection to their face and eyes but keeps their ears free, allowing your horse to be more comfortable. This mask slides over their nose and secures on their poll like a halter with a hook and loop closure. Sensitive horses may prefer that to a mask that goes over the ears.
Forelock Saver Design to Keep Your Horse’s Eye Clear
This forelock-saver design keeps your horse’s forelock pulled out of the mask, keeping it out of your horse’s eyes. Whether you select with or without ears, both versions will keep your horse’s forelock-free!
Easy On and Off with Secure Closure
This mask easily slides on your horse’s head and secures on their poll like a halter with a reflective hook and loop closure at the poll, allowing for size adjustment and extra security.
Added Reflective Trim for Safety
For extra safety precautions, we’ve added reflective trim along the mask and on the hook and loop closure to enhance visibility in low-light and dark scenarios.

Reviews
"Love this. Stays on my horse even while players with his friends. Also goes all the way to the end of his nose so he doesnt fey sunburn."
Great Concept But Short Lifespan
"I have two of these fly masks. There are so many reasons to love them — the visibility for my senior and no restriction to the jaw when grazing. The downside is that that stretch material disintegrates over time. I’ve had the masks for one full summer and now we’ve finished the second summer but the masks are done because the Lycra has slowly fallen apart. It’s a pricey mask for short life span. Concept is great — hope they improve the material under the jaw."
Best mask!
"Love this new mask! Fits best on my QH gelding. With the forelock saver even better. Please make one with a nose too!"
Great product, wish there was bigger size options
"The mask is a very cool concept and I love every aspect. I have 2 warmbloods and an OTTB - this mask does not fit any of my horses unfortunately and even impedes the eyelashes on both my warmbloods. I had to return these items - would buy them again but they do not offer larger sizing."
works while new
"Stretched out after a week of use and my mare keeps pulling it off in the field. Back to the drawing board!!"
Cruz loves this thing!!
"If I hold this out in front of him, he dives his head right into it and holds perfectly still while I fasten it. He was wearing his backup mask while I washed this one; I walked up with this in my hand and he nosed it and nodded his head, asking me to put it on him :-)."
Falling Apart after a Week
"I'm really disappointed in the quality and durability of this fly mask. After using it for only a week it started ripping and falling apart. $60 for a fly mask that doesn't last? I feel like the stuff at Schneiders used to be more durable in the past."
Best fitting fly mask I ever had
"I was afraid to try on my new fly mask because I expected it would not fit. My horse has a wide but short head, so I ordered cob. Low and behold, it fit perfectly. I will never buy anything else despite the high price. Thank you, Schneiders"
Best designed Fly Mask ever!
"In 60+ yrs. this is the best mask I've ever used! The new lycra protects from even the nastiest horse flies! My horse is far more comfortable with this protection!"
