Multi-Size Fly Mask Without Ear Coverage

Product Description

UltraShield Fly Mask is designed to keep horses cool, dry, and comfortable while blocking 80% of harmful UV rays and reducing heat transfer. This no-ear-coverage version uses two-way stretch fabric on the crown and jowl, along with a double-locking hook-and-loop closure for a secure fit. Structured eye darts and rolled inner seams help reduce irritation, and it's available in Cob, Horse, and Warmblood sizes.

Benefits

  • Cooling, Moisture-Wicking Fabric: Diamond-knit fabric on the crown and jowl keeps those areas dry and comfortable throughout the day each time.
  • 80% UV Protection: The mesh face panel blocks most harmful rays, reduces heat transfer, and cuts solar glare.
  • Secure, Double-Locking Fit: Two-way stretch fabric and a double-locking hook-and-loop closure keep the mask in place all day long without slipping.
  • Durable & Lightweight: Stain-resistant materials, reinforced double seams, and coated mesh stand up to mud, dirt, and daily wear over time.

  • Horse

How to Use

Directions for Use

  • Approach Slowly: Approach your horse calmly, since walking up with the mask suddenly may startle them at first.
  • Secure Your Horse First: Put a rope around your horse's neck and remove the halter before starting the fitting process.
  • Approach From The Left: Move the mask from the neck up the left side of the horse's head slowly and gently.
  • Cover One Eye: Cover the horse's left eye with your hand, then fit the mask over the head carefully each time.
  • Secure The Straps: Pull the mask down over the face and fasten the strap under the jowl securely each time.
  • Adjust For Fit: Check that the fit is snug but comfortable, leaving enough room around the eyes for full visibility.
  • Trim If Needed: Straps can be trimmed with scissors for a more custom, personalized fit for your horse specifically if needed.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1: How do I know which size to choose for my horse?

Ans: This fly mask comes in Cob, Horse, and Warmblood sizes to fit a range of head shapes and sizes, so it's a good idea to check the size guide above and match it to your horse's halter or headcollar size.

Q2: Does this fly mask cover my horse's ears?

Ans: No, this version does not include ear coverage, leaving the ears exposed while still protecting the face from the sun and insects. If you'd like ear coverage, the same UltraShield Fly Mask is also available with ears in matching sizes.

Q3: Will removing ear coverage still leave my horse protected from flies?

Ans: Yes, this mask still protects the face and eyes from biting insects and sun damage, though the ears remain exposed and may need separate protection during peak fly season if flies or gnats are a problem in your area each summer.

Q4: How much UV protection does this fly mask provide?

Ans: The mesh face panel blocks 80% of harmful UV rays, reduces heat transfer, and cuts down on solar glare to help protect your horse's eyes and face from sun damage during long days outdoors in the pasture or arena each summer.

Q5: How long does this fly mask typically last?

Ans: This fly mask is guaranteed to last through one full fly season with regular use. Its stain-resistant materials and reinforced double seams are built for durability, even with daily wear outdoors all season long each year for your horse and their comfort.

Q6: How do I safely put this fly mask on my horse?

Ans: Approach calmly, since walking up with the mask suddenly may startle your horse. Secure a rope around the neck, remove the halter, then gently work the mask up from the left side of the head before covering one eye and pulling it into place.

Q7: Can I adjust the fit of this fly mask?

Ans: Yes, the straps can be trimmed with scissors for a more custom fit, and the mask should be adjusted to feel snug but comfortable, leaving enough room around the eyes for full visibility while your horse grazes or moves around freely.

Q8: Does this fly mask affect my horse's vision in the rain?

Ans: According to the manufacturer, vision may be impaired during rainstorms while your horse wears this mask, so it's a good idea to remove it or supervise your horse closely during heavy rain to help avoid any accidents or confusion outdoors.
