Cashel Crusader Horse Fly Mask with Long Nose, Grey, Horse

Really pleased. Fits well. No rubbing or sore spots from prolonged wear.

Didnt last as long as I expected it too. Started coming apart where the Velcro strap is. Very hard to clean and get the smell out.

Bottom line: A little long on my very average sized horse. Not bad at all tho. After about three months the mesh has started to separate from the nose seam but she wears it 24/7 except when being ridden. Grazing about half of that time. So lots of wear. For the price, it’s been great. No other visible wear other than the nose area. Will buy again next summer. A very great buy for the price. I bought this for my painted Bavarian WB. She’s got a pink nose and is turned out from about 3pm until the morning so sun burn on her nose is a concern. Last year she had a normal fly mask that didn’t extend to the nose and I was constantly fighting sweat and grazing to keep a cream on her pink nose. This year we have no sunburn and no icky creams! This mask solved our problems. I’ve had it about 3 months now and the mesh is starting to come apart at the nose seam. She is not hard on masks, halters, etc but like I said, it is a little long for her face and she grazes on pasture 7 days a week and the only time she’s not wearing it in the summer is when we ride. So, it’s getting a lot of wear. Over all, will probably buy again next summer!

The best value for the money

This fly mask was delivered May 6. Yesterday, May 26 the nose stitching was unraveled and the loose trim wrapped under my gelding’s chin. That is a space of exactly 20 days. I’m being generous with that timeframe. It took me a few days after delivery to swap it out for his old mask. So, he wore it for less than 20 days and the nose piece was shredded. Very disappointing, because the flies are SO BAD in my area right now. Like a sucker, I have ordered another one in hopes that it was a fluke. Because the flies are SO BAD. I will update this post once the new one comes.

I like these masks for my pink nosed paints. They do a good job keeping them from getting sunburned. The nose piece usually only last one season, though, if the horses are out in pasture.

Have to replace this mask every season as both my horses destroy the nose portion. However, it protects their noses from the getting sunburned and thats the main reason why I buy it. Just wish it lasted longer.

Super fast delivery, fits my horse perfectly!

Loved this fly mask specially the long nose cover, lasted very long but it was sized wrong I have always bought the horse size but this was too big for my morgan.

They do keep my gelding from burning his nose butt the stitching comes apart easily
