Extended Product Information

FAQs

Can this mask be left on 24/7?

While durable, it is recommended to monitor the horse daily and remove the mask for periodic grooming and inspection of the skin.

Does it block all sunlight?

The mask is designed to reflect approximately 70% of UVA radiation, which helps reduce sunburn risks.

How do I wash it?

The mask is machine washable at 30 degrees. Always dry naturally and avoid tumble drying.

Is the ear material soft?

Yes, it is made of soft micro nylon to ensure the horse stays comfortable and to prevent irritation.

Will the nose guard interfere with eating?

The mask is anatomically shaped to allow for natural grazing and drinking, though it provides extended coverage to the nose.

Troubleshooting

Mask keeps slipping or rotating

Re-adjust the secure fit fasteners and ensure the anatomical design is centered correctly over the horse's eyes.

Visible dirt accumulation on mesh

Rinse the mask with water or machine wash at 30 degrees using a mild detergent, then air dry.

Signs of rubbing on the horse's face

Check that the anti-rub bound edges are positioned flat against the skin and ensure the mask is not too tight.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive coverage including ears and nose
  • Effective 70% UVA radiation reflection
  • Durable, lightweight polyester construction
  • Soft anti-rub edges for maximum comfort
  • Machine washable at 30 degrees

Cons

  • Requires careful fitting to ensure efficacy
  • Nose extension may not suit every horse's preference

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the mask remains effective, secure the fasteners snugly, ensuring there is enough room for the horse to blink and graze comfortably without the mesh rubbing against the eyes. Periodically inspect the mask for tears or loose stitching. When cleaning, the mask is machine washable at 30 degrees; after washing, always allow the product to dry naturally. Do not use a tumble dryer as the heat may degrade the mesh integrity or damage the fabric binding.
