FAQs

Does this mask provide full ear coverage?

Yes, this model includes full ear coverage made from ultra-soft, breathable mesh.

Will this mask block enough UV light?

The Hexi Shield offers 55%+ UV protection, which is ideal for reducing sun sensitivity.

Can I leave this on the horse 24/7?

While it is designed for comfort, it is recommended to remove and inspect your horse's face daily to check for any signs of rubbing or debris.

Is the nose piece detachable?

No, the nose piece is an integrated part of this specific design to provide maximum protection.

How do I know what size to choose?

Measure your horse's head circumference and check the size guide against your horse's standard halter size.

Can the horse see clearly through the mesh?

Yes, the hexagon mesh is designed for high visibility, and the structured darts keep it away from the eyes.

Troubleshooting

Mask keeps shifting or falling off

Check the tension of the elasticated touch tape; it may need to be tightened slightly or adjusted to better match the horse's jawline.

Horse seems to be rubbing at the mask

Verify that the forelock is correctly positioned in the hole and that no fleece binding is twisted against the skin.

Mesh appears slightly bent or collapsed

Hand-wash and reshape the mask while damp to help the structured darts regain their original form.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Durable hexagon mesh holds its shape well
  • Excellent UV protection for sensitive skin
  • Smart design keeps fabric away from the eyes
  • Breathable ear sections prevent overheating
  • Secure fit with adjustable elastic touch tape

Cons

  • Must be fitted correctly to avoid shifting
  • Can be snagged if the horse is in dense, brush-heavy pastures
  • Light color may show dirt faster than darker alternatives

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To achieve the best results, start by placing the mask over the horse's ears first, then guide the face piece downward. Ensure the forelock is pulled through the designated opening to prevent discomfort. Adjust the elasticated touch tape closure so it is snug but allows for two fingers to fit comfortably between the strap and the horse's jaw.

For care, hand wash the mask in cool water using a mild, horse-safe detergent to remove sweat and debris. Regularly inspect the mesh for any tears or frayed edges. Ensure the touch tape remains free of grass and burrs to maintain its adhesive strength over time.
