Can this mask be used for all horses?

How should I clean the fly mask?

Hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then air dry completely. Avoid harsh detergents.

What does the UltraFit design entail?

Does the mask hinder the horse's vision?

No, it utilizes clearview mesh specifically designed to maintain excellent visibility while providing UV filtering.

Is the nose fully covered?

Troubleshooting

Mask appears to be rubbing the horse's face.

Check the fit; ensure straps are adjusted correctly and not too tight. Confirm that the fleece bindings are lying flat and are clean. Try a different size if the fit is consistently poor.

Horse seems uncomfortable or is trying to remove the mask.

Verify the size and fit are appropriate. Ensure the mesh is not obstructing vision. Check for any stray threads or debris that might be causing irritation.

Visibility seems reduced for the horse.

Ensure the clearview mesh is clean and free from dirt or debris. Check that the mask is positioned correctly on the face and not slipping down over the eyes.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
