Works great
Keeps the flies off my horses nose. Fits well with plenty of room for eyes and ears.

High Quality
My horse was not liking his current fly mask, which was causing a lot of rubbing. This has soft edges inside (with padding), fine mesh, and the fringe.

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!

Love the fringes, just a few rubs
I have used the Cashel full face fly mask for several years and decided to try something new. The fringes definitely keep the flies away and don’t hold heat or moisture. I have noticed a few rub marks though, mostly around the poll. But I’d definitely buy it again!

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.
