Overview
Key Features
Still rated the #1 recommendation for fly masks by Horse Journal, the Cashel Crusader™ Mule/Donkey Fly Mask ensures fly-free comfort with a unique design and construction that guarantees to stay put while your long-eared equine companion is stalled or turned out in pasture.
Cashel guarantees quality you can count on, and this reliable design features a patented three-hole cap that eliminates forelock damage. Soft, low-nap polar fleece-bound seams and edges prevent any rubbing or discomfort and won't attract burrs or other debris. Soft-coated nylon micro-mesh blocks 70% of the sun's damaging UV rays in addition to pesky flying insects and protects the sensitive soft tissues of the eyes and forehead.

Comments: This product is a welcome find for my sweet mini donkey! Unfortunately, the bugs find him sweet, too, and this mask is perfect for protecting his huge ears and expressive eyes. The hole for his shock of forelock is adorable! It's a little snug under the cheeks, but keeps those chewing pests from devouring him. He and I are SO happy!!!

Comments: Our donkey is very happy with her yearling sized fly mask. Perfect fit. She has been wearing it for about a week and it still looks new! This mask was on backorder and was received earlier than promised.

Comments: Works well and holds up well. The ears are a bit big, but I have a mule not a donkey so it might fit donkey ears better. I bought extra when they went on sale for next summer.

Comments: I have used the Cashel Crusader fly mask on my donkey for a few years now - I even patched it to keep it going and it worked, this year he is ready for a new one - he is the only one that keeps a mask on the entire summer!! His poor ears were getting fly bites bad and this has eliminated that completely! Now to get the right size for our mule this year...and hope she keeps her on!!! May 19, 2022
