Overview

The Most Comfortable Fly Mask Your Horse Will Want to Wear

Everything You Need to Know About Fly Masks

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

Stays on. Great price point!

"I originally purchased this OTTB that always gets rubbed marks on the side of her face and under her jaw. She has a giant head! But it was too tight on her and the largest size available. So I gave it to my old man Tennessee walking horse and it fits perfect. The darts stay out and away from the eyes and I have arthritis and it’s very easy to pull the Velcro on and off with a little tab. That is very much appreciated. Easy to wash and I will be purchasing another for him so I can interchange the both when it’s time to clean them. ! Great product, super price point. I’m happy and everybody at the Barn is asking where did you get that fly mask."

— Tracy N. (5/5)

Stays on, stitching undone

"This has been the one fly mask my horse has not removed this year. The stitching underneath the jaw in the elastic part has been coming apart after a few weeks. I think I can repair it myself. Will probably order this again."

— Anastasia C. (4/5)

Love these!

"I ordered 3 of these for my horses, and I love them! They go on like a halter, and are easier to put on. Everything that touches the horse is soft and comfortable. I’ve washed them several times in my washing machine and they hold up great! Highly recommend!"

— LAURIE H. (5/5)

"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."

— Mary (4/5)

"It is not snug enough. My horse will not keep it on."

— Mary S. (2/5)

My gelding is hyper-sensitive to

"My gelding is hyper-sensitive to bug bites and has worn this mask for 3 summers, and gets great protection on his face"

— Dawn G. (5/5)

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."

— Reiko (4/5)

x span mosquito mask

"fits well, holds its form well, my horse loves it! The under the jaw stretch material is not a sweaty hard mess like other masks and the top velcro is really adjustable."

— Nancy A. (5/5)

Actually Stays On

"I have lost several fly masks, but so far my mare hasn't been able to get this one off! In fact I think she may even like it. The Velcro over the poll is genius, and the stretchy jaw makes a world of difference as far as fit goes. She has a petite little face and this mask fits her to a T and protects her from bugs. She does get sweaty under the fleece, but we live in Houston so there's no way to avoid the heat. I'm very pleased with this mask!"

— Lisa T. (5/5)

Nice mask but doesn’t fit my horse

"I like this mask a lot. I typically buy the stretchy bug eye style but wanted to explore this style. I like the stretch under the jaw to not impede natural chewing. The fit issue is that my mare has a big-boned head, big eyes, and long eyelashes (she’s an Iberian / mustang cross), and this was touching her eyes too much. If you have a horse with a more delicate-boned head or smaller eyes this would be a great option. I’m keeping it and storing it in my stash of horse stuff for a future horse, lol. For my mare I’ll stick with the bug-eye ones; I bought one those from Schneiders with a butterfly print and we love it! Much more durable than the main competitor."
