Product Information

Full details

The Shires FlyGuard Pro Air Motion Fly Mask is designed for horse owners seeking superior insect protection and comfort for their animals during hot weather. By utilizing advanced 3D air motion fabric, this mask provides essential relief from flies and UV radiation while maintaining excellent breathability; however, owners should ensure proper sizing to prevent the mesh from pressing against the horse's eyes.

FAQs

Does the mask provide full ear coverage?

Yes, this model features aerated ear covers to protect against flies while allowing for airflow.

Can this mask be left on 24/7?

While it is durable and breathable, it is recommended to check your horse daily for any rubs or irritation caused by the fit.

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Measure the horse's head circumference and compare it against the product sizing chart, noting the specific breed or pony/cob/full/extra full category.

Is the material waterproof?

The material is designed for maximum airflow and breathability, not as a waterproof barrier.

Will the mask block my horse's vision?

The 3D ripstop mesh is designed to be clear-vision, keeping the material away from the eyes to ensure full sight.

How often should I clean the mask?

Rinse daily to clear dust and debris, and perform a deeper hand wash whenever the mask appears dirty or smells of sweat.

Troubleshooting

Mask keeps slipping or rotating

Check that the secure straps are tightened evenly and verify that the size is appropriate for the horse's head measurements.

Mesh is touching the horse's eyes

Adjust the fit of the headpiece and ensure the 3D visor structure is properly seated away from the face.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation through 3D fabric technology
  • Effective protection against flies and biting insects
  • Durable ripstop mesh maintains protective distance from eyes
  • Helpful UV blocking capabilities
  • Secure fit with easy-to-use straps

Cons

  • Requires careful measurement to ensure correct sizing
  • May be too bulky for some smaller or sensitive ponies
  • Light-colored mesh may show dirt more easily than dark variants

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up the mask, place it gently over the horse's head, ensuring the ears slide comfortably through the aerated sections. The quick-fit secure straps should be adjusted to be snug enough to prevent movement but loose enough to allow the horse to chew and move their jaw freely. For care, it is recommended to rinse the mask regularly with clean water to remove dust and sweat that may clog the airflow mesh. Hand wash with mild, horse-safe detergent if it becomes heavily soiled, and air dry completely before re-applying to ensure the fabric remains breathable and the shape stays intact.
