What is a Horse Fly Mask?

A horse fly mask is a mesh cover that protects your horse’s face and eyes from biting insects, such as flies, mosquitoes, and gnats. This layer of protection also shields horses from harmful UV rays and blocks out dirt, tall grass, or other debris that may irritate their eyes. Applying insect repellent on your horse’s face can be difficult, so fly masks are a more convenient option in providing a physical barrier that keeps flies out. Many masks include ear coverage, too, perfect for adding another barrier that prevents flies from irritating your horse. Horses typically wear fly masks during turnout during the summer months, when bugs are out the most. Some horses wear fly masks year-round if they have an eye or skin condition that needs to be protected.

Features of a Good Fly Mask

1. Coverage- fly masks should at least cover your horse’s eyes and most of their face. Depending on your horse’s needs and preferences, you might need to opt for a mask with ears or a longer nose.

1. Breathability- every fly mask should grant plenty of airflow so your horse does not overheat in the harsh sun.

1. Durability- since most horses are turned out wearing fly masks, find one that will hold up to your horse’s play routine, including if they enjoy rolling in the dirt or itching their head.

1. Visibility- most fly masks are made with mesh that is easy for your horse to see through.

1. Secure fit- ensure your horse’s fly mask fits closely on their head. You do not want it to be too tight, resulting in painful rubs, but you do not want your horse to easily itch the mask off and lose it in the pasture.

1. UV protection- depending on your horse’s needs, how much shelter they have, and your climate, you should find a fly mask that provides a UV protection rating.

1. Easy to clean- you will be much more motivated to wash your horse’s fly mask if you can easily throw it in some cold water with equine-safe detergent.

Overall, a good fly mask should offer coverage, UV protection, and a secure fit that will withstand daily use.
