Great Fly Mask for Very Hot Summers!
This fly mask has lasted the longest out of all of the fly masks I have purchased. I use this fly mask for turnout too. My horse is very hard on his masks and this one just keeps holdin on! It is my favorite mask because of its weight. This mask is so light weight and breathable, perfect for hot Florida summers.

Ears too long and doesn't fit over bridle
I purchased the the pony/yearling size for my 13.2 qtr pony and the ears were way too long, and I was hoping to use over the bridle but the tab was too short:( I do like how soft the mesh is however. My pony takes a pony size in the shire fly mask. Thanks to the great customer service at SmartPak no problem with return/credit!

Soft mesh
I really like this mask with ear covers for trail riding. Because the deer flies like to land right at the bridle path, I added an 8” flap of fabric to prevent that from happening. I then spray it with Off before putting on my horse.

Sensitive eyes
I bought this for my senior mare who is really sensitive to flies near her eyes. Our rides are so much quieter now. She’s happy. I’m happy. Worth the money spent!

I was hoping the netting on the fly mask would be clear like in the photo. Instead, it’s black. My horse wears this for nighttime turnout because the evening and early morning flies really bother his eyes. What happened to the clear/see through netting....so. I’m disappointed!

Works great.
This fly mask works great for keeping the flies off the horses while riding. Light weight and durable.

Best Friend on the Trails
Living in PA in the summer time means A LOT of bugs such as gnats and flies. Due to having so many bugs, I always ride the trails with a fly mask on. This one does the job and keeps the flies and bugs off my horse's face and ears.

Easy to put on, take off and does not bother horse
Materials appear to be quality and so far durable. Very easy to put on and take off and not intrusive for the horse. Fit is important as you don't want openings for bugs to get underneath the mask. I bought multiple sizes to get the best fit, luckily they are not very expensive.

Not what they used to be
Very disappointed. Been using on all my horses for 5+ years. Just received 5 new masks and the first day the stitching that holds the velcro to the mask came unstitched on 3 masks. 2days later, the remaining 2 have ripped around the ears.

Ended my boys head tossing!
Best thing I’ve bought besides a saddle. Literally ended the head tossing from flies bugging my gelding! Amazing! Just ordered 4 more for my other horses!

Love this mask
I use this mask everytime I ride in the summer, keeps the bugs off the face and out of the ears so we can focus on training.

Light weight fly mask
I bought this for my elderly QH gelding who is losing his eyesight. I feel like it’s easier for him to see through than traditional fly masks. I use it on him for turnout even though it’s for riding. After a couple weeks, it’s holding up well. Bought one for him last year and it made through the season.

The Best
I have only used Cashel flymasks for as long as I can remember. They fit my horse well (cob size.)

Fits Great
Perhaps ironically I bought this mask and the Cashel turnout mask with ears and nose in the same size. This mask fits my horse great while the strap under the jaw is too short on the turnout mask.

Great for horses that hate flys
I have an older one eyed horse that hates flys. Riding him during buggy seasons is not always pleasant. Lots of head tossing. However, the cashew quiet ride fly mask with ears has made a dramatic difference for my guy. Flys are no longer an issue. Also since he has one eye, I use this when I ride on windy days to protect his remaining eye.

Good fly mask for riding
I've been using this fly mask (with ears) on both of my horses for lunging and riding. So far I'm very impressed. It is effective at keeping flies and gnats away from their eyes and ears so they are less inclined to toss their heads when I'm trying to have a productive training session. There seems to be no impairment of their vision and, in fact, I think they can see better through this fly mask than the masks that I use for turnout. The material is durable and easy to rinse clean but I would not use this fly mask for turnout as my 2 horses would certainly rub it on something harsh and tear it. I only bought 1 since I wasn't sure of the size. The horse size adjusts to fit both my draft cross gelding (large head) and my smaller Lusitano mare. If I splurge and get a second one for next summer, I'll buy the horse size again.

Mixed feelings
I really like the quality of the masks, but all 3 horses had them off within hours. The horses were all fine with me putting them on and didn't seem to mind them at all but I guess just rubbing their faces on their legs took the masks right off.

No more head shakes
It works great for my horse on the trails. He would shake the entire time we were out but now that has been reduced greatly. He doesn't mind having it on his ears either and did not freak out when I first put it on.

Odd fit, didn't work for my horses
I love the Cashel flymasks- the only one I will use because they last forever AND you can pull the mane through them. I have Morgans so that is super important. My guys all wear the small horse size but the Quiet Ride version is way too short and rides up under their eyes and the forelock hole is way high between their ears. Thanks so SmartPak's super return policy I was able to return.

Works, fits and looks great!
I bought this for my mare to ride in since she's sensitive to flies. It's definitely designed more for riding than for turnout. I love how much room there is for the eyes, so it won't brush against her eyes when the bridle shifts a little. I put it over my bridle instead of under because it seems to fit a little better that way.

Over-rated
Pros: easier to see through than most, size runs true except for ears, single velcro
Cons: ears too big and made of the same fabric that has torn on all my old fly masks, mesh is flimsy and eye darts are skimpy, so mesh presses over my horse's eyes.

Perfect Mask for Riding
My horse is having eye issues right now and keeping the flies off them is imperative. This mask fits the bill.
However, I will say that I do not know why SmartPak discontinued the Roma Stretch Bug Eye Saver with Ears fly mask. It is an awesome fly mask.
