Shires Fine Mesh Fly Mask With Ears and Nose - Black

Arrived quickly and was bigger than expected. Love that it had a large nose net as my horse has a long face and needs to cover her nose fully due to getting sun burn easily. For most horses this probably would be far too big though. Suitable for a chunky cob with a long face.

Bought a small pony for a Welsh A and it’s far too big . Could see the pony if it was a pony size but it’s small pony!

I had to cut a slit in the top to pull my horses forelock through - the mane is useful for keeping flies away so why hide the forelock inside the mask.I also had to cut the mesh over her nose because it was too long. If left the mesh is soon gummed up every time she snorts out snot and in the end creating is unpleasant.other than that this is a well made mask. The shape of it around the eyes particularly is very good so that the mask sits away from the eyes.My horse is used to fly masks but even so I don't like the 2 velcro strips. One would be safer so that if they panic about the mask (this happens if a fly gets trapped inside) then you can quickly rip the mask of their heads with one velcro strip. 2 strips makes that much harder - so not a great safety feature.

Usually buy one every year but this one will last . Washed it in soap suds looks like new

I only buy these masks, they are well made and last forever! They stand up to being worn every day in the summer months.

Good fit and quality and for once the ears aren't too big (he looks like a jester in other brands I've bought!). It is fleece lined across the back of the ears where it meets his neck so that it doesn't rub. The Velcro fasteners are substantial so there's no fear of it coming off.My only minor point would be that it says it is black, which it is for the most part, but it does have bright orange fasteners and orange strips across the nose. This doesn't bother me, it just means I can see him in the field in the dark - and he's certainly not bothered!I haven't washed it yet so I don't know how it will withstand that.

Keeps the flys off and fits my horse well
