The Hy Fly Eye Shield is an essential protective accessory for horse owners seeking an effective way to keep bothersome flies and insects away from their horse's eyes during turnout. Designed for convenience and comfort, this mask features a minimalist construction without ears or a nose extension, making it ideal for horses that prefer less coverage. While it offers excellent visibility and protection, it is important to note that the one-size design may not be suitable for draft breeds or miniature ponies.

The Hy Fly Eye Shield is a 'One Size' design, intended primarily for average-sized horses. It may be too large for small ponies or too small for very large draft breeds.
It is generally recommended to remove fly masks at night unless there is a specific medical reason to keep it on, as visibility is reduced in the dark.
While the mesh provides a physical barrier against insects and some light, it is not specifically rated or marketed as a UV-blocking mask.
Simply rinse with a hose or soak in a bucket of mild detergent and water. Scrub gently with a soft brush if necessary and hang to dry.
Ear-free masks are ideal for horses that are head-shy, those with sensitive ears, or horses that get too hot with full-coverage headwear.
Ensure the velcro closure is pulled tight enough under the jaw and check that the hair is not trapped in the velcro strips, which can cause them to lose grip.
Check for proper fit; if the mask is too tight or creates static, it may irritate the horse. If the fit is correct, ensure the horse is not suffering from extreme insect pressure that requires a different type of repellent or mask style.
To achieve the best fit, position the shield so the mesh is centered over the eyes, ensuring no contact with the eyelashes. Secure the velcro closure under the horse's jowl—it should be snug enough to prevent shifting, but loose enough to slide two fingers underneath comfortably. For maintenance, hand wash the mask in cool, soapy water to remove dust and debris from the mesh. Allow it to air dry completely in a shaded area away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the mesh and velcro fasteners.
