Nice Fly Mask
I bought this about a month ago. I really like how it is made. There is fleece over the seam over his nose and piece that goes from his ears under his jaw is elastic. My horse seems to like it. So far, it has stayed on.

Watch out for burrs!
Great mask: stays on, washes, keeps flies off — I have four of them. But if you have burrs in your pasture, esp. “tall sock burrs,” or hedge parsley — watch out: they will destroy the mask in just days. Hundred of tiny burrs cling to the strings, and they shred the strings when you try to remove them. Wish the strings were made of leather or a smooth, non-fibrous or coated material.

Great Fly Mask!
Just purchased my second of these fly masks so I have one to keep in my horse trailer, as well as in the barn. Great for keeping bugs off my horse's face during trail rides. Well made and durable.

Best fly mask ever!
I love this fly mask. It stays on, has some stretch to it and fleece inside to prevent rubs. It also has UV protection and the fringe helps keep flies off Sawyer's nose. I bought another one so I could have a spare when washing. Winner, winner!

Best mask ever!
I bought two last year and my gelding mostly kept them on. He tends to scratch his ear with his hind foot,so even after being repaired one lasts only half a summer. Other masks would last a week or two. He seems to like the fringe and I love the turquoise!

Great but needs a few tweaks
Has been used for about three months. I love the fringe, and so does my horse. Other fly masks that have mesh get clogged with dust which turns into muck. Not good to breathe!
Suggestions: reinforce the stitching around the fringe. It started to shed strings within a few weeks. And secondly, make the ears just a tad longer. They rubbed a bit and I had to cut the tips off.
But overall I am happy that my horse has the nose protection, and I also like the double velcro.

Works well.
This mask works well. Keeps the flies and eye gnats away. I have only ,2 suggestions for those of us in a hot climate. Make it a lighter color to reflect sunlight. Remove the amount of fleece in the inside - the horse sweats it gets wet and the area gets rain rot. I ended up cutting it out.

What’s not to like
Well made holds its shape, and is staying on better than most. I had to trim the fringes and singe with a lighter to keep from fraying but it’s held up great so far. Bought more for the rest of my herd

Great Fly Mask
I love this fly mask for my horse. He has a white blaze and is sun sensitive. Those full nose mesh fly masks get dirty fast, however this fly mask is able to cover his nose and stay relatively clean. My horse is very happy with this fly mask. He enjoys bobbing his head up and down to use the tassels to get the flies off his nose. Very happy with this product.

I bought this Shires fly mask in 2018. This was taken May 9, 2019. Love the double Velcro straps under the face. always nice and secure. The light elastic over the pole keeps this mask on even when my mare decides to roll. Going on our third season.
