Comments: This has been my go-to mask for years. My horse appreciates that it keeps the bugs off his nose and out of his ears in addition to out of his eyes. The masks are durable and hold up for more than one season.

Comments: Great fly mask. My mare doesn't get as sweaty and hot with this as others. She's a medium qh pony. She wears a small halter and the Arab cob fit her perfectly. Holds its shape well and most importantly in FL - no sunburned nose!
From: Leslie- Florida, USA
Comments: Love this mask. I have a horse with a blaze and a pink muzzle and this has stopped any sunburn on his muzzle. He is a quarter horse and I order the 'horse' size every year. Our season is long here in central AZ and this mask lasts him one season. Only concern - and it's really not one - is that the nose extension seems to wear out by the end of the season...I just cut it off and use the mask on another horse and buy a new one!
From: Sara - Phoenix, Arizona, USA
Comments: I've tried all kind of face masks for my horses and this one is my new favorite. It keeps its shape well and the ears are so soft that my horse does not mind putting it on. She actually likes it. I use it on my white 14.3 QH/paint mare who has a pink nose. I am ordering a smaller one (cob size) because it runs a little large, especially the nose part. I like it so much I will be keeping the larger (horse size) one as a back up. As usual, great service and price, I love Riding Warehouse!

Comments: I've been using these fly masks for years and they are by far the best on the market. Great protection on the ears against gnats/flies and the long nose is good for protection against sunburn especially on the white horses. Plenty of room around the eyes and overall the mask's shape is very comfortable. Riding Warehouse has a great price (free shipping over $50 too) and I just bought three of them to stock up. You can get multiple seasons out of this mask but if your horses in the pasture with others don't necessarily count on it ;). Overall, a great mask!
From: Patrice - Santa Rosa, California, USA
Comments: Great fly mask. It doesn't chafe or rub like some other brands do. Keeps pink face markings shaded from the sun. Like another reviewer said, the nose part does run long. I have wire fencing in my pasture and the horses eventually tear up the bottom of the nose section from catching it while nibbling grass around the edge of the fence.
Also, RW has the best price!

Comments: Horses & I love this mask. It lasts! The nose part ran a tad too long. I folded & tacked it the right length. No burnt noses. No gnats in ears.
Great prices and super service!
Thanks Riding Warehouse!

Comments: Love this for my white pink skinned horse, protects his face and nose from sunburn and flies. Great price
From: Lynne - Pittsboro, Indiana, USA
Comments: Not my favorite mask. None of the sizes fit my mare well...either too long on nose and loose at the closure (horse size). Cob, arab/yearling sizes are too short on the nose but close well. I do like that she doesn't get her nose burnt if she actually keeps it on but with the size issues she rubs her face on her leg and it off! The thing I really don't like about this mask is that it does not last even one season. By the end of two months both my horses masks were frayed at the bottom, rips in the ears and the elastic was shot. I do not have these issues with other brands.
