"After ordering several fly masks for my draft cross I finally ordered and received this fly mask and it fit perfectly. The mesh is stiff enough to stay off her eyes and she never sweats under this mask. So greatful to have a mask with a mindful design."
"I have a 18hh Clydesdale who isn't easy to fit for most things. The ears are big enough, straps are long enough and the seam across the brow is wide enough. I am very pleased with the purchase."
"Looks great but after a year it is falling apart. My guy is very hard on stuff!"
"Awesome I got 2 so I could switch them out every other day. I just spray them clean with the hose and hang them to dry. Fits my full draft mare."
"Ears do not stand up to rubbing, but mask is good. Keeps flies away from irritating eyes. Good visibility for horse vs sight thru darker mask"
"The fabric including the ears is lightweight yet quite durable. The overall design keeps the mask off the eyes. Draw backs are the fleece collects hay and dirt; the Velcro straps could be longer especially if you want to put the mask over the halter rather than under."
"Excellent fit and still in one piece lol!"
"I use this mask for my Lithuanian draft mare. We have thousands of small flies in Lithuania. And they like horse's ears very much. :) And this mask helps to protect them very much. Late spring, summer and early autumn I use it 24 hrs/day. Ears are a too big. Maybe they are designed for a mule. :)"
"i bought the draft for our huge headed 18. 3 Belgian/Friesian. fits very well."
"My horse, Big Ben loves the above fly mask. It fits perfect and is engineered for both comfort and reliability. Meaning it keeps the nasty bugs out while being very durable. I am happy when my horse is happy. I highly recommend it."
