FAQ: Fly Masks

Do Horses Really Need a Fly Mask?

Yes, flies are consistently drawn to moisture around a horse's eyes and nose. Without a fly mask for horses, repeated fly irritation can lead to eye infections, corneal damage, and significant stress.

Can a Horse See Through a Fly Mask?

Yes, quality fly masks are made from open-weave mesh that maintains clear vision while keeping insects out. Many of our horse fly masks also include UV-filtering mesh, which horses often find more comfortable in bright conditions.

Should I Leave a Fly Mask for Horses on Overnight?

Most veterinarians suggest removing fly masks at night to help the skin around the eyes breathe and to check for any signs of rubs or irritation.

How Do I Know What Size Fly Mask to Buy?

Most fly masks for horses are sized by breed type: pony, cob, horse, and oversize/warmblood. If your horse falls between sizes, opt for the larger fit to prevent pressure on the eyes. Some brands offer an adjustable noseband for a more precise fit.
