Frequently Asked Questions

 

What are fly masks for horses?

Fly masks for horses are protective coverings designed to shield a horse’s face, including the eyes, ears, and sometimes the nose, from flies and other biting insects. Made from lightweight, breathable materials, these fly masks for horses allow the horse to see and hear while keeping pests at bay. They help prevent irritation, discomfort, and potential eye infections, making them essential for your horse’s comfort and health.

 

How long can you leave a fly mask on a horse?

Fly masks can typically be left on for up to 12 hours during the day, but it’s important not to leave it on overnight or when it is raining. Checking the mask daily for signs of wear, dirt, or discomfort is essential. Removing the fly mask at night allows the horse's skin to breathe and prevents irritation. Regularly inspecting and cleaning the mask will help ensure your horse remains comfortable and well-protected.

 

How and when should you wash your horse's fly mask?

You should wash your horse's fly mask regularly, ideally every few days or whenever it becomes visibly dirty. To clean it, first, remove any loose dirt or debris by shaking or brushing it off. Then, wash the fly mask by hand or in a washing machine using mild detergent and cold water. Be sure to fasten any Velcro straps before washing to prevent damage. Allow the mask to air dry completely before putting it back on your horse. Regular washing helps maintain the mask’s effectiveness and keeps your horse comfortable and free from irritations.
