"My horse is so much happier without the terrible bug and fly bites he would develop lumps where bitten. I used every fly control out there plus special baths every week to no avail. We were both going crazy over this. Now we are able to enjoy our time together not spending it trying to heal him up. This has changed both our lives, simple fix HAPPY!! Very sturdy as well, beyond excellent product."
"Looks great but after a year it is falling apart. My guy is very hard on stuff!"
"This is the best fly mask for my mare. Fits well and she hasn’t removed it. So far!"
"This mask was a bit small for one of my Quarter Horses. I was not impressed with it for the price. I wouldn't buy this particular one again."
"This mask slips and can rub the eyes. I don’t use it anymore. I liked that it was clear for nighttime use, but I can’t risk it"
"Great if you need more structure in a mask. . our guy had eye surgery so this worked great. . we have 2 of them and they hold up well even thru washing machine. ."
"We like this one! My gelding that gets all the fly masks off somehow has done well with this."
"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"
"Great mask! Ears are roomy. I'd give it 5 stars except that its missing a forelock opening that I would prefer."
"Holds up well and provides good airflow."
