The Shires FlyGuard Pro Fine Mesh Earless Fly Mask is designed for horse owners looking for superior eye protection against flies and midges without the restriction of ear covers. This mask features a sophisticated 3D contour frame that prevents the fine mesh from collapsing onto the eyes, ensuring clear vision and comfort. While it provides excellent coverage and UV protection, users should note that because it is an earless design, it does not offer protection for the horse's ears against biting insects in that specific area.

No, this is specifically an earless design, making it suitable for horses that dislike having their ears covered.
This mask offers over 70% UV protection, helping to reduce the risk of sunburn and sun bleaching on the face.
The frame is designed to be structured enough to keep the mesh off the eyes, yet comfortable for the horse to wear for extended periods.
Yes, it is designed for durability and security, making it ideal for field wear and grazing.
Hand wash with mild, non-irritating soap and cold water, then air dry thoroughly.
It is highly effective against flies and midges, though since the ears are exposed, those areas remain unprotected.
Adjust the quick-fit straps to ensure a snug fit, or consider checking if the size is appropriate for the horse's head measurements.
Ensure the mask is fitted correctly and the 3D frame is not being pressed against fixed objects. If persistent, check for skin irritation that might be causing the itch.
Gently rinse the mask to remove accumulated dust, mud, or pollen that may be blocking the fine mesh holes.
To achieve the best fit, ensure the mask is sized appropriately for your horse's head; the straps should be tight enough to stay in place without impeding the horse's ability to blink or move its jaw. When applying, ensure the mask is centered over the eyes. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the mask with mild soap and cold water periodically to remove dirt and dust, which can clog the mesh and obstruct vision. Allow the mask to air dry completely before re-applying it to the horse. Periodically check the straps for wear or grit buildup to maintain the integrity of the quick-fit closure.
