FAQs

Is this mask suitable for sensitive horses?

Yes, the cotton construction is generally well-tolerated by horses with sensitive skin.

Can I leave this on 24/7?

While durable, it is recommended to monitor your horse daily to ensure no rubbing or discomfort occurs from prolonged wear.

Will the decorative cord fray?

If washed according to the instructions—specifically avoiding the spin cycle—the cord trim will remain intact.

Is this mask waterproof?

No, it is made of breathable cotton and is intended for fly protection, not as a rain cover.

How do I choose the right size?

Select based on your horse's head size (e.g., Pony, Cob, or Full/Horse) to ensure the ear pockets align correctly.

Troubleshooting

The ear covers are collapsing.

Ensure the mask is correctly fitted and not being pulled downward by the bridle or headcollar.

The mask shrinks after washing.

Always verify you are using the 30-degree setting and avoiding high-heat cycles in the dryer.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Protects sensitive ears from insect irritation
  • Breathable natural cotton fabric
  • Stylish design with decorative cord trim
  • Simple machine wash maintenance
  • Durable construction for regular outdoor use

Cons

  • Requires specific low-heat settings for washing and drying

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the longevity of your HKM Fly Mask, proper care is essential. When fitting, ensure the mask sits comfortably over the ears without pulling or restricting movement.

Washing Instructions:

  1. Wash at a maximum temperature of 30 degrees Celsius.
  2. Do not use a spin cycle, as this can damage the structural integrity of the ear covers.
  3. Tumble dry only on a cool setting to prevent shrinkage or heat damage to the decorative cord.
  4. Ensure the mask is completely dry before placing it back on your horse to prevent skin irritation.
