The Schneiders UltraFlex Comfort Plus Bug Eye Zipper Mini Fly Mask is praised for its excellent fit and comfort, with a soft lycra material that provides a secure fit. The mask is designed for miniature horses and features a fine mesh to protect against pests while shading the eyes and face from the sun. However, opinions on the size vary, with some finding it too small or tight.

"I love this fly mask for my senior mini! It’s easy to put on and I don’t have to worry about it falling off in the paddock or pasture. He can also see through it well, something I worried about with his poor eye sight. Look at the size chart before purchasing so that you get the correct size. This is a great fly mask!!"
"I love the way the mesh covers the entire face and not just the eyes, It keeps the material from coming down over the eyes and being uncomfortable for my mini. The zipper can be a little difficult when the mini is being difficult however, it's pretty sturdy and hasn't broken after 2 years. I purchased the medium size and might have been able to go up a size. I don't have a registered mini but can tell you he wears a size 48 sheet/blanket if that helps others with sizing their mini? Over all I love this and think it fits well on my mini who rubs on everything! I want to find these for my big horses!"
"I ordered 2 masks per the size chart: "Medium (Small size mini-class A) Large (Large size mini-class B)" I have 2 Minis, one 30" (Class A) and one 36" (Class B) Both masks are TOO BIG! Whoever wrote up the specs needs to measure an actual Miniature Horse."
"Amazing , and recieved quick!"
"I haven’t received them as of February 17th"
"This is the BEST EVER MINI FLY MASK EVER!!!!! Clean, easy to put on and the horses have no problem seeing out of them. They don’t mind wearing them, the other kind they were always tearing them off! I’m very impressed with them, that’s why I got three of them for all three horses! I also had given Amazon my first review on the first one I bought."
"Great mask for my mini - stays in place and lots of room for her forehead and eyes. Would purchase again!"
"My mini is truly a Houdini when it comes to a fly mask. I thought the only way to keep one on her would be to staple it to her head. Wow, I am very impressed with this! It has stayed on!"
"I purchased these masks for my minis and it is the only ones that my horse will keep on. I like that have have ear coverage because the flies can really do a number on their ears."
"I have used these fly masks for years for my six miniature horses and my one full-size horse. They are the best! The mesh is fine and there is ample space for the horse's eyelashes and brows so they don't get smashed. The Lycra material keeps out the small flies and gnats. Most of my horses have thick forelocks and at first this was an issue because there is no opening for the forelock. However, since the fabric is Lycra and does not fray, I was able to use my scissors to cut a v-shaped opening for the forelock. I was able to customize the size of the opening based on the thickness of each horse's forelock. I don't use the zipper and am able to just pull the mask on all my horses--so much easier! I think the zipper could be replaced with a strong elastic gusset (like those on the back of riding boots) and would probably save on labor and materials."
