Fly Guard Fine Mesh Horse Fly Mask with Ears (Black, Full)

Mask a tad large for my old mare but otherwise fits well and she has not gotten it off. Mask fits closely around the nose and the throat latch area has elastic which help keep mask snug and prevent flies from getting in. I prefer the really fine mesh ones like this because they also keep the tiny gnats away. Often if the masks is fine mesh, its not stiff enough to stand away from the eye like this one. Based on use over the last week or so, Id buy it again. Orange is a little bright but if she does get it off, the color makes it much easier to find.

This is the best fly mask I have ever bought. I went through about 4 other masks that did not hold up. My horses try to take each others masks off, resulting in tears and rips because of the flimsy materials and lightweight single-strap velcro. The Shires masks are heavy duty and with 2 quality velcro straps they do not come undone.

The mask itself seems very durable. The mesh on the face isnt thin or cheap, and I really like the strength of the double velcro straps under the jaw. Runs a bit big. I ordered a full for both my paint horses and its not as snug as I would like, however, I pulled the velcro straps tighter and that should do the trick. I just recieved these masks today, so I will update a lil further down the road with how durable, etc they really are. This is my 5yr old geldings very first fly mask experience and he tends to do well with his winter blankets, but we will see how this mask holds up in the long run. Inside, near the ears, there is a fuzzy liner (shown in pictures). The ear covers themselves seem to be very nice breathable mesh material. And the material of the mask seems very well made. Would buy again.

I put this on my boy who stays out 24/7. I like the small netting because it seems to work well to keep mosquitos out. It also seems to stay on pretty well which is hard to find for a horse that stays outside full time. My main complaint is that Ive had it about 2 months and the fleece/ soft fabric part that comes into contact with my boys nose is already rubbed away leaving it with a stiff part in contact with his skin. I am going to have to figure out a way to pad that area again. Overall not bad but not as durable as I had hoped.

Work well

Protects from flies, allows horse to see through the mesh, fabricated in good quality, but be careful with fit. Our fit choice was somewhat over-sized for our specific horse. Only comment is that the mask does not have a wide spread of adjustment if the size is too large. That said, it works well enough not to return for different size. When this one wears out as these tend to do over time, well keep this purchase on record and order one size smaller.

It fits my quarter horse great. She has wore it for a week now and she seems to be fine with it on. Love the fuzzy on it around the neck.

This mask has been excellent for my paint mare who has a slight tendency to rub off and destroy her fly masks... So far, it has stayed on for a week solid and is all in one piece. She seems pretty content with the fit, very roomy around the eyes so no rubbing issues there. I ordered the full size and the Velcro is a little long, but didnt want to compromise the fit of the rest of the mask. Very great quality, likely to purchase another of this mask in the future.

Fits great on my small and large qh in the full size. Has elastic on top to make a good fit. Softer mesh than old style fly masks. I highly recommend this fly mask.
