"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."
"Love this new mask! Fits best on my QH gelding. With the forelock saver even better. Please make one with a nose too!"
"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."
"Stretched out after a week of use and my mare keeps pulling it off in the field. Back to the drawing board!!"
"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 :-)."
"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."
"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"
"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!"
