Shires Flyguard Pro Hi-Viz Fine Mesh Fly Mask with Ears & Nose - Yellow

Maximum Visibility and Superior Protection for Your Horse

The Shires Flyguard Pro Hi-Viz Fine Mesh Fly Mask is the ultimate solution for riders who refuse to compromise on safety or comfort. Designed to tackle the dual challenges of biting insects and low-visibility turnout, this mask features a vibrant neon yellow trim and reflective detailing that ensures your horse is seen, whether they are grazing at dawn or near a busy road.

Built for the long haul, this mask uses a specialized 3D eye visor design that stays lifted away from the face. No more worrying about mesh rubbing against sensitive eyelashes or causing corneal irritation—just clear vision and a cool breeze for your partner in the pasture.

Key Benefits for Your Horse

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: How do I ensure the Shires Flyguard Pro fits my horse correctly?

A: We recommend the "two-finger rule." You should be able to slide two fingers comfortably between the mask and your horse’s head at the poll and jaw. This ensures the Shires Flyguard Pro stays secure against bugs without causing pressure sores.

Q: Is this mask suitable for horses with Sweet Itch?

A: Yes, the fine mesh is specifically engineered to block midges, which are the primary cause of Sweet Itch, making it an excellent choice for sensitive horses.
