Product Information
Full details
The Waldhausen Ride Fly Mask is designed for equestrians who need to protect their horses from annoying insects while riding without compromising comfort or breathability. Crafted from durable polyester, it offers a reliable barrier against flies and gnats, featuring an elastic insert for a flexible fit over the noseband. While it provides excellent protection, owners should note that it is specifically engineered for use during active riding sessions rather than for extended turn-out periods in the field.

FAQs
Can I leave this mask on in the paddock?

Does this mask provide UV protection?
While the material provides a physical barrier, it is primarily designed for insect protection.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure your horse's head size and select from available options including Pony, Cob, Full, and X-Full.
Will this fit under my bridle?
Yes, the mask is specifically engineered to be attached to the bridle for seamless integration during a ride.
How do I wash the mask?
Hand wash with mild detergent and hang to dry; do not machine wash or tumble dry.
Can the horse see clearly through the mesh?
Yes, the mesh is designed to allow clear visibility while effectively blocking small insects.
Troubleshooting
The mask keeps slipping while riding
Check that the Velcro fasteners are pulled tight against the bridle and that the fit is correctly centered on the horse's face.
The horse is shaking its head while wearing the mask
Ensure the ears are pulled through fully and that no mesh is pressing against the eyes or the base of the ears.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High breathability around the sensitive ear area
- Easy and quick to attach to standard riding bridles
- Excellent flexibility via elasticated inserts
- Lightweight construction prevents irritation
Cons
- Not suitable for long-term pasture turn-out
- Requires careful fitting to ensure the bridle does not rub
- Black color may absorb more heat in intense direct sunlight
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To attach the mask, simply position it over the horse's face and wrap the Velcro fasteners securely around the bridle headpiece or cheekpieces. Ensure that the mask does not interfere with the bit or the throatlatch. For maintenance, it is recommended to brush off loose dirt after each ride. For a deeper clean, hand wash the mask in cool water using a mild, horse-safe detergent and allow it to air dry completely. Avoid using a tumble dryer, as this can damage the elastic components and the mesh fabric.
