FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Consult the sizing chart provided by Weatherbeeta or measure your horse's head according to the manufacturer's guidelines. Key measurements often include the distance from the eye to the nose and around the muzzle.

Can this mask be worn all day?

Yes, the mask is designed for all-day wear with features like soft fleece binding and breathability to ensure comfort.

Does this mask offer UV protection?

Yes, the mask provides over 60% UV protection, helping to shield your horse's eyes and sensitive facial skin from harmful sun rays.

How often should I clean the fly mask?

It is recommended to clean the mask regularly, especially if it becomes soiled, to maintain hygiene and effectiveness. A weekly rinse or wash is generally sufficient, depending on environmental conditions.

What is the warranty period for this product?

Please refer to the retailer or Weatherbeeta's official website for specific warranty information, as it can vary by region and vendor.

Will this mask stay on during vigorous activity?

The elasticated closure is designed for a secure fit. However, for horses that are extremely active or prone to pulling off gear, additional checks or management strategies might be necessary.

Can the mask be used in wet weather?

While the fine mesh offers protection from insects, it is not designed to be waterproof. It will allow moisture to pass through. It is best used in dry or mildly damp conditions where fly protection is the primary need.

Troubleshooting

Mask is slipping or rubbing.

Check if the mask is the correct size. Adjust the elasticated closure for a snugger fit. Ensure the forelock is not caught in a way that pulls the mask askew. Clean any debris from the horse's face and the inside of the mask.

Horse seems uncomfortable or irritated.

Verify the mask is not too tight. Ensure the structured darts are positioned correctly to keep the mesh off the eyes. Check for any embedded debris in the mesh or fleece binding.

Mesh is torn or damaged.

Inspect the mask regularly. Small tears may be repaired, but significant damage compromising protection should lead to replacement.

Horse is still getting bitten by insects.

Ensure the mask fits properly with no gaps. Consider using in conjunction with other fly control measures like fly spray or lotions if needed.
