Fly Masks

Description

A fly mask for horses is a protective covering that is worn over a horse’s head to shield its eyes, ears, and face from insects, particularly flies and other pests. These masks are typically made from lightweight, breathable materials such as mesh or nylon and are designed to be comfortable for the horse while providing effective protection.

Fly masks often feature:

• Mesh Panels: Allows for airflow to keep the horse cool and prevent overheating.
• Ear Covers: Protects the horse’s ears from insects.
• UV Protection: Some masks also offer UV protection to shield the horse’s sensitive skin from the sun.
• Adjustable Straps: Ensures a secure and comfortable fit.

Fly masks are especially useful during warmer months when insects are most active and can cause irritation to horses’ eyes and skin. They help in reducing stress and discomfort caused by constant pest annoyance, allowing horses to remain calm and focused during activities such as grazing or riding.
