FAQs
Is this mask suitable for all horse sizes?
This specific model is sized for Extra Large horses. Ensure you measure your horse to confirm it fits their head size appropriately.
Can the nose piece be removed?
Yes, the mask comes with two interchangeable nose pieces that attach and detach using strong Velcro.
Does it provide full ear coverage?
Yes, this mask provides full ear coverage to protect against biting flies and gnats.
How often should I wash the mask?
It is recommended to clean the mask periodically as needed, especially if it becomes caked with mud or heavy debris, to maintain visibility.
Is the mesh durable enough for turnout?
The coated nylon micro-mesh is designed to be tough and durable for daily turnout, though it should be inspected regularly for tears.
Troubleshooting
Mask keeps slipping off
Check that the Velcro straps are tight enough and ensure the elastic ear section is properly positioned behind the ears.
Mesh rubbing against the horse's eyes
Adjust the positioning of the mask higher on the forehead; ensure the double-darted seams are centered correctly.
Velcro losing its grip
Use a stiff brush or tweezers to remove hair and debris trapped in the hook-and-loop fasteners.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, first attach the desired nose piece (standard or tasselled) using the Velcro tabs before placing the mask over the horse’s ears. Once the ears are comfortably through, smooth the mask over the forehead and secure the Velcro straps under the throat latch, ensuring a snug fit that is not too tight. For care, keep the Velcro clear of debris to maintain its adhesive strength. The mask should be hand-washed in cool water with mild soap and hung to air dry; avoid using harsh chemicals or machine drying, as this can degrade the UV-blocking coating and the integrity of the nylon mesh.
