Previous Feedback
Comments: I purchased two of these; one for each of my horses. I intended to use it as a riding/working mask as well as a leave on when I am not with them. When I say leave on, I mean all night and day. It was important to me that the mask be very easy to see through and comfortable for my horses. Both the masks and the horses have done great. It took my mare a couple days to get used to the fact that the flies were not actually on her face but rather on the mask. She did a bit of head shaking for awhile before getting used to it. My gelding seemed very thankful and has had no issues. I don't hook them tightly for all night use and have come to find them off, but usually in their roll spot so I know it just rubbed off when they were rolling. They really like them. This mask does accumulate massive dust so it does need to be cleaned every couple days, if not daily. I am sure if I were only using it for its intended purpose, this would not be as big an issue. Woolite has been best to remove all dirt easily. Simply putting the mask under running water was not enough. All in all, this is a great mask and I highly recommend it not just for riding, but also if you need it for extended periods of time.

Comments: We would not be able to ride in the woods in the summer without these masks. Everyone I know uses them. The deer flies are so terrible and these masks and the only thing that keep them off our horses faces. Will always keep one around!

Comments: Great quality fly mask with extra coverage over the nose. Keeps the smallest bugs out of the horses eyes so well it makes me want to get a second one for me to wear. I wouldn't need the long ears and extra long nose coverage, though.
