Shires Flyguard Pro Deluxe Fly Mask with Ears & Nose Fringe - Multiple Sizes

Stop the Summer Head-Tossing for Good

The Shires Flyguard Pro Deluxe Fly Mask With Ears & Nose Fringe is built for the horse that needs total protection without the fuss. We've all seen those horses that can't catch a break in the pasture—constantly stomping and shaking their heads at midges and flies. This mask is designed to put an end to that frustration, offering a heavy-duty shield that stays off the eyes and on the horse, from our barn to yours.

Crafted by Shires, this deluxe mask combines high-tech UV protection with a clever nose fringe that keeps pests off the muzzle without the bulk of a full nose piece. It’s the ultimate turnout essential for the long haul of fly season, providing peace of mind for you and comfort for your horse.

Key Benefits for Your Horse

• Superior UV Shielding: Blocks over 70% of harmful radiation (60% on mesh areas) to protect sensitive pink skin from painful sunburns and sun bleaching.
• Structured 3D Eye Visor: Reinforced darts and a rigid frame ensure the mesh stays well away from the eyes, preventing cornea irritation and maintaining clear visibility.
• Anti-Rub Fleece Padding: Soft fleece linings along the seams prevent hair loss and sores, making it comfortable enough for all-day wear in the field.
• Airstream Ear Protection: Breathable fabric on the ears keeps bugs out while allowing heat to escape, ensuring your horse stays cool even in the peak of summer heat.
• Effective Nose Fringe: The moving fringe deters flies and midges from landing on the sensitive muzzle area, a lifesaver for headshakers and insect-sensitive horses.

Best For

Owners of "chrome" horses or pink-muzzled equines looking for maximum UV protection and a way to stop insect-related headshaking during daily turnout.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I know which size to get for my horse?

For the best fit with the Shires Flyguard Pro Deluxe Fly Mask, focus on the nose and throat circumference rather than just hand height. This ensures a fly-proof seal that prevents pests from crawling underneath the mask.

Q: Is this mask durable enough for daily pasture use?

Absolutely. It features dual "quick-fit" touch-close straps and reinforced construction specifically designed to withstand the rigors of daily turnout and playful pasture mates.
