The Shires FlyGuard Pro Fine Mesh Fly Mask is an essential protective accessory for horse owners looking to shield their equine companions from biting insects, midges, and harmful UV rays. Designed with a 3D eye visor and a contour comfort fit, it provides excellent visibility and keeps the fabric away from the horse's eyes, though proper size selection is critical to ensure the mask remains securely in place during active turnout.

Measure your horse's head carefully; Shires offers sizes from Extra Small Pony to XX Full, which should be matched to your horse's halter size.
While the mesh allows for visibility, it is generally recommended to remove fly masks at night to allow the skin to breathe and to prevent potential snagging.
The mask provides 70% plus UV blocking, which is verified by BS EN 13758-I-2002+AI:2006 standards.
No, the ear coverings are designed with Airstream fabric to prioritize airflow and ventilation, not water resistance.
Many horses with sun-induced headshaking benefit from the UV protection and reduced insect irritation provided by this mask, but consult your veterinarian for specific conditions.
Adjust the quick-fit straps for a tighter seal and ensure no mane is caught beneath the edge of the mask.
Check that the mask is the correct size and that the ear coverings are not too tight, which can cause discomfort.
Gently reshape the 3D visor by hand after washing and allow it to dry flat in a shaded area.
To achieve the best fit, position the mask over the horse’s ears first, then smooth the fabric down over the forehead and cheeks. Ensure the straps are pulled snug but not so tight that they pinch the skin.
