FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Consult the sizing guide provided by Premier Equine, which typically involves measuring specific points on your horse's head. Ensure a snug fit around the muzzle, eyes, and ears without being restrictive.

Can this mask be worn all day?

Yes, the mask is designed for extended wear, including turnout, due to its breathable material and comfortable, anti-rub features. However, always monitor your horse for any signs of discomfort.

What is the level of UV protection?

The mask offers approximately 70% UV reflectance, providing significant protection against harmful UVA rays.

Is the mask effective against all types of insects?

The mask is designed to protect against flies and midges. While it offers a physical barrier, very small or persistent insects may still find ways around the edges if the fit is not perfect.

How often should I wash the fly mask?

It is recommended to wash the mask as needed when it becomes dirty to maintain hygiene and visibility. Machine wash at 30°C and air dry.

Will the mask stay on during turnout?

The mask features a secure fit designed for turnout. However, the effectiveness of the fit can depend on individual horse conformation and their specific turnout environment.

Can this mask be used on foals?

This is the Standard Plus model, typically designed for adult horses. Premier Equine may offer specific sizes or models for foals, which would be more appropriate.

Troubleshooting

Mask slips or shifts during wear

Check that the size is correct for your horse and that all fastenings are securely adjusted. Ensure no hay or bedding is obstructing a clean fit around the ears and jaw.

Horse seems irritated around the ears

Verify that the micro nylon ear protection is smooth and not twisted. Ensure the mask is not fitted too tightly, which could cause pressure points.

Mesh appears dirty or reduces visibility

The mask is machine washable at 30°C. Regular cleaning will maintain visibility and hygiene.

Mask shows signs of wear or damage

Inspect for tears or broken fastenings. While durable, it may need replacement if significantly damaged from turnout or chewing.
