The Shires FlyGuard Pro Fine Mesh Fly Mask with Ears is designed for horse owners seeking reliable protection against small flies, midges, and intense sun exposure. This mask features a specialized 3D eye visor that prevents the mesh from collapsing onto the eyes, ensuring horse comfort, though owners should check the fit regularly to ensure the straps remain secure during turnout.

This mask is designed primarily for turnout and is not recommended for use while riding as it may obstruct vision or become displaced.
No, it blocks 70%+ for the face and 60%+ for the eyes, which significantly reduces UV exposure but does not provide complete total blockage.
Sizes range from Small Pony to XX Full. Measure your horse's head circumference and check against the Shires size chart for your specific model.
The ear fabric is made of lightweight airstream material designed for breathability; while it is durable for general turnout, it may snag if the horse rubs against rough fencing.
It is recommended to hand wash the mask to maintain the structure of the 3D visor and the integrity of the fine mesh.
Check that the quick-fit straps are properly tightened and the fleece or binding is sitting flat against the horse's skin.
Ensure the mask is the correct size for your horse; if the mask is too small, it will pull tight against the skin causing chafing.
Gently rinse with a hose or soak in cool water to remove debris that could obstruct the horse's vision or airflow.
To apply the mask, open the quick-fit straps and place the mask over the ears first, then guide it over the face. Ensure the straps are fastened snugly without being too tight, allowing one or two fingers to slide underneath the strap to prevent pressure points.
Care instructions involve regular inspections for small holes or tears. Hand wash the mask with mild, horse-safe detergent and cold water to preserve the UV blocking properties of the mesh. Allow the mask to air dry completely before re-applying to ensure the horse's comfort.
