Horse Fly Masks

Protective Comfort for Every Horse

Fly masks are essential during the warmer months, protecting horses from biting insects, UV damage, and irritation. A good fly mask provides full coverage without restricting vision or movement, allowing your horse to graze and move comfortably. Whether you need an earless design for relaxed turnout or a full-face version with nose coverage, there’s an option to suit every horse and environment.

UV Protection and Breathability

Modern fly masks, such as the Woof Wear UV Fly Mask, offer excellent UV protection, shielding sensitive skin and eyes from harmful rays. These lightweight, breathable fabrics allow airflow while keeping flies out, making them perfect for sunny turnout days. The fine mesh construction ensures visibility, preventing heat build-up while maintaining comfort throughout the day.

Styles and Fit Options

Different horses have different needs, so our collection includes a variety of designs. Full-face masks with ears and nose covers, like the Flyguard Pro Stretch Fly Mask With Nose Jet, provide complete protection for horses prone to fly sensitivity. Earless or open-top options, such as the Flyguard Pro Fine Mesh Earless Fly Mask, are ideal for horses that dislike ear coverage. Elasticated edges and secure fastenings ensure a snug, comfortable fit without rubbing.

Visibility and Safety

For riders who hack or turn out horses in shared areas, visibility is key. Hi-vis options such as the Equi-Flector Fly Veil help your horse stay seen on the road or in low light. Many designs also feature reflective trims for added safety. The combination of protection, comfort, and practicality makes a fly mask one of the most useful accessories in your summer kit.
