Product Information

Full details

The Shires FlyGuard Pro Bridle Nose Net is an essential tool for equestrians whose horses struggle with head-shaking or distraction caused by dust, pollen, UV rays, and biting insects during ridden work. By providing a breathable, allergen-proof barrier, it promotes better focus and comfort for the horse, though it is specifically designed for use with a bridle and must be fitted correctly to remain effective during intense activity.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this be used while competing?

Yes, the Shires FlyGuard Pro is generally approved for use in competition; however, you should always check your specific governing body's rulebook to confirm.

Is this product machine washable?

Hand washing with cool water and mild detergent is recommended to maintain the integrity of the mesh and binding.

Does it interfere with the bit?

No, the net is specifically cut to stay clear of the bit area, ensuring it does not interfere with your horse's comfort or your contact.

Can it be used with a hackamore or bitless bridle?

It is designed primarily for use with a standard bridle noseband. Use with bitless setups may vary depending on the noseband design.

Will the mesh block air flow?

The material is highly breathable and designed specifically for equine use, allowing for normal breathing while filtering out particulates.

Troubleshooting

Nose net shifting during work

Ensure the quick-fit straps are tightened securely and are centered correctly on the noseband.

Horse attempting to rub the net off

Check that the binding is not too tight against the skin and ensure no debris is trapped inside the mesh causing itching.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Helps mitigate head-shaking behaviors caused by allergens
Protects sensitive muzzle skin from harsh UV rays
Highly breathable construction suitable for warm weather
Simple and fast attachment to most standard bridles
Competition legal and appropriate for all riding disciplines

Cons

Requires a bridle to function; cannot be used while at pasture
May require occasional washing to remove debris from the mesh
Some horses may take time to adjust to the sensation on their muzzle

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To install, ensure the bridle is fitted to your horse first. Loop the quick-fit straps around the noseband, positioning the mesh so it sits comfortably over the nostrils without interfering with the mouth or bit. The design is compatible with both cavesson and flash nosebands.

For care, simply rinse the mesh with cold water after rides to dislodge dust and pollen. For deeper cleaning, use a mild, horse-safe detergent and hang to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as the heat may damage the PVC mesh or the suedette binding.
