Comments: I have used these fly masks for many years. Long nose are the best, then your horse has full coverage. I always get a full season and then some out of them. I leave them on 24/7 when bugs are real bad and if windy to protect their eyes from blowing dust. Ill take them off if cooler at night and no bugs, then back on during day. I also spray them off with cold water when dirty, and wipe the nostril area when needed.

Comments: I prefer the Cashel fly masks over other brands I have used. The individual ear holes tends to prevent my horses from pulling one ear out, and the double velcro closure stays on. The hole for the forelock keeps their hair out of their eyes.

Comments: Cashel fly masks are generally my go-to for all horses. Tends to fit way and stays put. My fly masks typically last for 1 to 2 seasons. I feel like these have the best nose protection.

Comments: LOVE this fly mask. I have a paint who has a pink muzzle. During the Arizona summers her nose gets sunburned very easily. With this she hardly gets sunburned. I have had this fly mask for about two years now and it shows very little wear. I'm very happy with this fly mask and will buy another one when the time comes.

Comments: I bought two of these for my mare who has a lot of pink on her nose. She's quite happy with it. The ONLY issue is that the edge can get rather gunked up unless I flip up the nose end while she eats her mash.

Comments: I use this fly mask for our gelding who also has a white stripe and white muzzle and sunburns easily. It is very good quality and serves us well.

Comments: I like this brand of fly mask a lot. My horses, like many, are hard on fly masks, but these work pretty well. I like that they seem fairly comfy for my horses and they last longer than some of the really cheaply made fly masks out there. This long-nose version effectively protects my grey horse's pink nose from sunburn. I'll be a repeat buyer when the time comes.
