Proper sizing ensures the eye darts and fleece edges align with your horse's facial structure for the best fit and protection.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Will this mask stay on if my horse rubs fences or plays rough?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eYes. The double-locking Velcro system under the jaw requires deliberate effort to undo — much harder for horses or pasture mates to pull off during play. The heavy-duty PVC mesh also resists snagging and tearing from fence posts or gate latches.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch4\u003eQ: Can I use this mask on a horse with very sensitive facial skin?\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAbsolutely. The plush fleece trim is specifically designed to prevent the PVC mesh from cutting or rubbing delicate skin around the cheekbones and jaw. Many riders choose the Mackey Standard Fly Mask for horses prone to rub marks from stiffer masks during long turnout periods.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Mackey, Inc.","offers":[{"title":"Blue Frogs \/ Small","offer_id":47353785549021,"sku":"FFR301","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Frogs \/ Medium","offer_id":47353785581789,"sku":"FFR302","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Blue Frogs \/ Large","offer_id":47353785614557,"sku":"FFR303","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sir Squirrel \/ Small","offer_id":47353851740381,"sku":"FMSQ103","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sir Squirrel \/ Medium","offer_id":47353851773149,"sku":"FMSQ104","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sir Squirrel \/ Large","offer_id":47353851805917,"sku":"FMSQ105","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sassy Seahorse \/ Small","offer_id":47353851871453,"sku":"FMSSB03","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sassy Seahorse \/ Medium","offer_id":47353851904221,"sku":"FMSSB04","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Sassy Seahorse \/ Large","offer_id":47353851936989,"sku":"FMSSB05","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dandy \/ Small","offer_id":47354584432861,"sku":"FMDP01","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dandy \/ Medium","offer_id":47354584465629,"sku":"FMDP02","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dandy \/ Large","offer_id":47354584498397,"sku":"FMDP03","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dandy Dot \/ Small","offer_id":47354584531165,"sku":"FMDD01","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Dandy Dot \/ Medium","offer_id":47354584563933,"sku":"FMDD02","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Dandy Dot \/ Large","offer_id":47354584596701,"sku":"FMDD03","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bee Mine \/ Small","offer_id":47354610385117,"sku":"FMB301","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Bee Mine \/ Medium","offer_id":47354610417885,"sku":"FMB302","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Bee Mine \/ Large","offer_id":47354610450653,"sku":"FMB303","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unicorn \/ Small","offer_id":47358570692829,"sku":"FMPU103","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unicorn \/ Medium","offer_id":47358570725597,"sku":"FMPU104","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Unicorn \/ Large","offer_id":47358570758365,"sku":"FMPU105","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true},{"title":"Southwest \/ Small","offer_id":47367571538141,"sku":"SWP301","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Southwest \/ Medium","offer_id":47367571570909,"sku":"SWP302","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false},{"title":"Southwest \/ Large","offer_id":47367571603677,"sku":"SWP303","price":34.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0619\/8748\/7965\/files\/bee-mine-fly-mask.webp?v=1770235463","url":"https:\/\/hoovesandpaws.com\/products\/mackey-horse-fly-mask-with-detachable-nose","provider":"Hooves and Paws","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
