Everything You Need to Know About Fly Masks

Soft Mesh Ears for Extra Protection

When your horse is irritated by biting insects flying around their ears, a fly mask with ear coverage can help! This fly mask is designed with soft mesh ears that keep even the smallest biting insects out of your horse’s sensitive ears.

Forelock Saver Design to Keep Your Horse’s Eye Clear

The forelock-saver design gives you the option to keep your horse’s forelock pulled out of the mask, keeping it out of their eyes. This is a perfect choice for horses with sensitive eyes, recovering from a wound, or simply as a style choice!

Simply Zip On and Off for a Secure Fit

The UltraFlex® Fly Mask uses a heavy-duty zipper that fully separates the back of the jaw to easily put on and remove the fly mask without having to pull over your horse’s ears.

Here are a few alternative suggestions:

Reviews

Comfort, Functional and Great Value

"I needed a 90-95% UV block fly mask for my senior horse who has uveitis and glaucoma. I have used these fly masks in the past and loved them, but I never knew that they had the UV protection. I was buying bulky, expensive masks that did not look comfortable for my horse, plus the masks were too close to his eyes and I couldn’t be sure if they were touching his eyes. The other masks were being pulled off by my horse and his field friends. When I learned of the 95% UV protection, plus the large eye holes, it was the answer! They worked perfectly in the past for him and now that I know about the UV protection that’s all that he will wear from now on. Plus they are reasonably priced."

Ultra Flex Comfort Bug Eye pull on fly mask

"This is such a nice flexible soft fly mask that stays put but doesn't bother their eyes. Has a good UV too. Pretty sturdy and works for large draft and regular size horses. Nice and long on their faces/head. I've bought 2 for my 16h tenn walker and my 16. 3h Rocky Mountain horses. Fits my quarter horse and appy too. Worth the money."

Great Mask

"Fits well and the mesh is fine enough to keep the gnats out."

ANNA D. (5/5)

Awesome fly masks

"I used Kensington fly masks for years, and then I found the Schneiders masks with the zippers - haven’t purchased anything else since. These masks are my favorite! Wish I had found them sooner."

Tiffany B. (5/5)

Great fly mask

"Great fly mask! My gelding has a large head and this is easy to put on, stays on all day and doesn't rub on my gelding's eyes like some of the others do."

Great masks!

"I bought a couple of these two years ago and couldn’t remember where I got them from. I have bought other brands of slinky masks that have not worked as well because the mesh is too big and the tiny bugs still get inside and chew up my very sensitive thoroughbred’s ears. These slinky type of fly masks are the only kind that stay on him, And the last two that I bought from Schneider’s lasted two full seasons for one of them and almost 2 seasons for the other. These are the best fly masks. I have used in 35 years of having horses!"
