Professional's Choice Fly Mask with Ears – Rip-Stop UV Shield

Stop Eye Irritation and Sun Damage Before It Starts

Head-tossing, squinting, and relentless stomping aren't just annoying — they're signs your horse is battling bugs and UV exposure that can lead to corneal damage and uveitis flare-ups. The Professional's Choice Fly Mask with Ears delivers serious protection with a fit that stays put through turnout rough-housing and pasture play. Rip-stop nylon mesh holds up against fence scrapes and buddy pulls, while strategically placed darts lift the fabric off the eyes so your horse gets a clear field of vision without rubbing.

Built for 24/7 wear or post-surgical recovery, this mask pairs heavy-duty polyester construction with soft, breathable mesh ears that flex naturally — no heat buildup, no burned ear tips. The wide hook-and-loop jaw closure keeps everything secure even when your horse decides to roll or rub. From horses with light-colored eyes prone to sunburn to those recovering from eye injuries, this mask handles the hard work so they can graze in comfort.

Why Riders Choose This Fly Mask

• Rip-stop durability for mask destroyers — Polyester rip-stop mesh resists tears from trees, fences, and pasture buddies pulling at the mask.
• High UV protection for sensitive eyes — Blocks harmful sun rays that cause squinting, sunburn, and uveitis complications in light-colored or compromised eyes.
• Eye-clearance darts for unobstructed vision — Stiffened structural seams hold the mesh away from the cornea, preventing rubbing and giving your horse full sight lines.
• Breathable mesh ears with natural flex — Roomy, soft ear coverings move with your horse without restriction or heat buildup around the poll.
• Stay-put jaw closure — Heavy-duty hook-and-loop strap under the jaw keeps the mask secure during active turnout or trail rides.
• Smooth poll and ear trim — Friction-free material around sensitive areas prevents painful rubs during long-term wear or medical recovery.

Best For

Owners of horses prone to eye conditions or rough on gear looking for durable, high-UV protection that stays in place through turnout and won't rub sensitive eyes or ears.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I choose the right size for my horse?

The Professional's Choice Fly Mask runs generous in the standard Horse size. If your horse has a refined head or falls between sizes, many riders find sizing down to the Arab/Small Horse option gives a snugger, more secure fit that stays put better during turnout.

Q: Will this mask hold up to horses that destroy their fly gear?

Yes. The polyester rip-stop mesh is specifically engineered to resist tears from fence scrapes, tree branches, and pasture buddies trying to pull the mask off. It's a go-to choice for horses that are hard on their turnout equipment.

Q: Can I use this for a horse recovering from eye surgery or dealing with uveitis?

Absolutely. The eye-clearance darts keep the mesh from touching the cornea, and the high UV-blocking properties make this mask a top pick for post-surgical recovery or ongoing management of moon blindness and other light-sensitive eye conditions.
