FAQs

What is the UV protection level of the mesh?

The heavier-duty silver mesh offers 75% UV protection.

How does the Bamboo lining contribute to comfort?

The soft, breathable Bamboo lining strips across the brow and nose prevent rubbing and irritation, enhancing overall comfort for the horse.

Can this mask be used while riding?

While designed primarily for turnout, the secure fit and clear vision make it suitable for some riding situations, especially for horses sensitive to flies during exercise. However, always prioritize safety and check for any potential obstructions.

How often should I clean the fly mask?

It is recommended to clean the mask regularly, ideally after each week of use, or more frequently if it becomes heavily soiled, to maintain hygiene and comfort.

What should I do if the mask doesn't fit my horse correctly?

First, double-check the sizing and adjustment of the straps. If it still doesn't fit, consult the retailer's return policy or consider purchasing a different size that better matches your horse's measurements.

Will the mesh obscure my horse's vision?

The mask is designed with a generous fit over the eye darts to ensure a stand-off from the eyes, providing clear, unobstructed vision for the horse.

Is this mask suitable for horses with sensitive skin?

Yes, the combination of the generous fit, Bamboo lining, and UV protection makes it highly suitable for horses with sensitive skin prone to irritation from flies and sun.

Troubleshooting

Mask seems too tight or loose

Adjust the elasticated headpiece and throat strap. Ensure you can comfortably fit one finger between the strap and the horse's skin. If consistently too tight or loose, re-evaluate the size ordered for your horse.

Horse is rubbing the mask off

Verify the fit is correct and not causing any pressure points. Ensure the chosen size provides adequate clearance around the eyes and cheeks. Clean the mask to remove any dirt that might cause discomfort.

Reduced visibility for the horse

Check that the eye darts are correctly positioned and that the mesh is not sagging into the horse's field of vision. Ensure the mask is the correct size; a mask that is too large might shift and obstruct vision.

Mask material appears damaged

Inspect the mesh and stitching for any tears or weak points. Discontinue use if the protective integrity of the mask is compromised.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent protection against flies and UV radiation.
  • Comfortable design with breathable Bamboo lining reduces risk of rubbing.
  • Generous fit and enhanced coverage offer superior protection without impeding vision.
  • Secure fastening system ensures the mask stays in place.
  • Durable mesh material for long-lasting use.

Cons

  • Heavier-duty mesh may offer slightly less ventilation compared to ultra-lightweight masks.
  • The generous fit might require careful sizing to ensure it doesn't obstruct vision if improperly fitted.
  • Primarily designed for insect and UV protection, not for impact protection.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Ensure the horse is calm before attempting to fit the mask.
  2. Gently place the mask over the horse's head, aligning the eye darts over the eyes and ensuring the nose section covers the muzzle.
  3. Secure the elasticated headpiece and throat strap. Adjust for a snug, but not tight, fit. There should be enough room to slide a finger comfortably between the straps and the horse's skin.
  4. Check that the mask provides clear visibility and does not rub any areas.

Compatibility:

This mask is designed for horses. Ensure the size selected is appropriate for your horse's head dimensions. It is compatible with most standard turnout and stable setups.

Care:

  • Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle (30°C).
  • Use a mild detergent.
  • Do not bleach or tumble dry.
  • Air dry away from direct heat sources.
  • Regularly check for wear and tear and discontinue use if damaged.
