Product description

Keep Your Horse Comfortable and Protected from Flies, Sun, and Eye Irritation

If your horse struggles with persistent fly bites, sun sensitivity, or eye conditions like uveitis, the Cashel Crusader Fly Mask delivers the protection you need without compromise. This isn't just a fly mask — it's a patented design that stays off the eyes, blocks 70% of UV rays, and holds its shape through full turnout. Available in American Wave and Pluma patterns, it combines function with easy herd identification.

Built from soft-coated nylon micromesh with fleece-bound seams, the Crusader prevents rubs while keeping gnats and flies out. The three-hole cap design includes a dedicated forelock opening that stabilizes the mask and protects poll comfort — a feature you won't find on generic masks. From foals to drafts, the precision sizing ensures a secure, anatomical fit that won't shift or sag.

Why Riders Choose the Cashel Crusader

  • 70% UV blocking for therapeutic sun protection — Essential for horses with uveitis, light-colored faces, or chronic sun sensitivity.
  • Patented three-hole cap with forelock opening — Keeps the mask stable without pulling hair or causing poll pressure.
  • Double-dart eye construction — Mesh stays clear of eyelashes and temples, preventing corneal irritation even during head shaking.
  • Fleece-bound seams for rub-free comfort — Soft edges seal out insects while eliminating the friction burns common with standard masks.
  • Durable nylon micromesh that resists tearing — Holds up to roughhousing, fence rubbing, and daily pasture wear.
  • Designer patterns for easy identification — American Wave and Pluma prints make your horse instantly recognizable in the field.

Best For

Owners managing horses with eye conditions or sun sensitivity looking for veterinary-grade UV protection and a mask that won't touch the eyes.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know which size will fit my horse?

Measure from your horse's poll to the nose and check nose circumference — don't rely on weight alone. Use the two-finger rule: you should be able to fit two fingers between the fleece edge and your horse's face for comfort without letting flies inside. The Cashel Crusader is available in sizes from XXS (Foal) to XXL (Draft).

Q: Will this mask work for a horse with uveitis or other eye conditions?

Yes. The 70% UV block provides therapeutic relief from sunlight, and the double-dart construction keeps the mesh completely away from the eye and lashes. Many veterinarians recommend the Cashel Crusader for horses requiring medical-grade eye protection.

Q: What makes the three-hole cap design better than standard masks?

The dedicated forelock opening stabilizes the mask so it stays in place without shifting or pulling hair at the poll. This patented feature prevents the discomfort and hair breakage you often see with masks that don't accommodate the forelock properly.
