FAQs
Can this mask be left on in the pasture?
No, this mask is specifically engineered for use during riding and attachment to a bridle. It is not designed for unattended turnout.
Will this fit a horse with a very large head?
The product is available in sizes ranging from Pony to Full and X Full to accommodate various horse types.
How do I choose the right size?
Choose based on your horse's standard bridle size (Pony, Cob, Full, or X Full).
Is the material waterproof?
It is made of breathable polyester, which is not waterproof but is designed to dry quickly after becoming damp with sweat.
Does it block vision?
The mask is designed to cover the ears and the upper face area; always ensure it is fitted correctly to keep the eyes completely clear of the material.
Troubleshooting
The mask slides down the horse's face.
Tighten the elastic Velcro fastenings and ensure they are properly anchored to the bridle's components.
The horse shows irritation around the ears.
Check for debris or dirt trapped inside the ear covers and ensure the mask is not too small, which could cause unwanted pressure.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, simply place the mask over the horse's ears and use the elastic Velcro tabs to secure the mask to the bridle's cheekpieces or browband area. Adjust the tension so the mask sits flush against the skin without pulling.
For care, hand wash the mask in cool water with mild, horse-safe detergent to remove sweat and dirt buildup. Air dry completely before storage to prevent mold. Regularly inspect the Velcro and elastic inserts for signs of wear and tear, replacing the mask if the elastic loses its tension or the fabric begins to fray.
