FAQs

Can I leave this mask on 24/7?

While it is designed for durability, it is recommended to remove and inspect the mask daily to ensure the skin remains healthy and the fasteners remain secure.

Does this mask provide UV protection?

Yes, the fabric is designed to offer a protective barrier against UV radiation, which helps prevent sun-related skin issues.

Is this mask suitable for all head shapes?

The mask includes adjustable fasteners to accommodate many shapes, but ensure you select the appropriate size for your horse (Pony, Cob, Full, or X-Full) for the best results.

How do I clean the faux fur?

Gently hand-wash with mild detergent and brush the faux fur with a soft-bristled brush once dry to restore its fluffiness.

Will the ear covers cause the horse to overheat?

The materials used are breathable and designed for summer use, allowing for adequate airflow to the ears.

Troubleshooting

Mask keeps slipping off or rotating

Adjust the touch tape fasteners on the cheeks and poll to ensure a tighter fit to the halter, and check that the elastic noseband is correctly tensioned.

Touch tape losing stickiness

Use a stiff brush or tweezers to remove hair and debris trapped in the hook-and-loop fabric, then press firmly to re-engage.

Horse shows signs of rubbing

Ensure the mask is correctly sized for your horse's head; if rubbing persists, check that the faux fur padding is correctly positioned against the forehead.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Generous clearance around the eyes prevents irritation
  • Faux fur padding increases horse comfort and prevents rubbing
  • Provides essential UV protection for sensitive skin
  • Versatile attachment options for different halter types

Cons

  • Requires careful measurement to ensure correct sizing
  • Touch tape can accumulate dirt and debris over time
  • Not intended for use without a properly fitted halter

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the mask, align the eye openings over the horse's eyes before securing the poll and cheek touch tape fasteners to the halter. Ensure the mask is snug but not tight; the elastic nose fastening should allow for slight movement while grazing. For maintenance, it is recommended to hand-wash the mask in cool water with mild, horse-safe detergent to preserve the UV-blocking properties and the integrity of the faux fur. Air dry the mask away from direct heat sources to prevent the elastic from losing its shape. Regularly inspect the touch tape closures to ensure they are free of mud or hair, which can compromise their grip strength.
