Key benefits
Built Like Grandpa’s Favorite Flannel
Like your wise and weathered gelding, this fly mask is built to last. Made from Schneiders’ most durable Dura-Mesh, it stands up to rough pasture play while allowing plenty of airflow, perfect for hot weather or horses with shelter access. The see-through mesh offers crystal-clear visibility and 70% UV protection to shield sensitive eyes. And when it comes to bugs? Deer flies, greenheads, horse flies, and other aggressive biters don’t stand a chance. The soft mesh ears are also a game-changer, sealing out even the tiniest pests that love to annoy your horse’s ears.
Comfort That Won’t Bug Him
Designed with comfort in mind, this mask features fleece-covered elastic binding at the crown and nose for a snug, rub-free fit. No more awkward shifting or pressure points, just soft, cushy contact that moves with your horse. Whether he’s grazing, dozing, or tossing his head to show who’s boss, this mask stays comfortable and secure.
Ears Covered, Dignity Intact
Grandpa’s got ear hair, and this mask keeps it under wraps. With full ear coverage made from soft mesh, your horse gets complete protection from irritating gnats and flies. It’s a stylish solution for sensitive ears, and an effective barrier against those tiny invaders who just won’t quit. Plus, it completes the look with some serious “senior authority” style.
Never Misplace It Again
Losing fly masks is a thing of the past. This one stays right where you put it, thanks to two secure hook and loop closures, one under the cheek/chin and one at the throatlatch. Whether your gelding is a Houdini or just has a tendency to misplace things (along with his glasses), this mask isn’t going anywhere. And with a handy poll slot, you can even attach a neck cover for extra protection.

Reviews
Perfect for your pirate horse
"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."
Pirate mask
"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!"
