FAQs

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Refer to the WeatherBeeta sizing chart, which is usually available with the product information or on the manufacturer's website. Measuring your horse's head from the top of the ear to the nose, and from just below the eye to the jawline can help ensure an accurate fit.

Can this mask be worn in the rain?

The mask is primarily designed for protection against flies and UV rays. While it may offer some minimal protection from light rain, it is not waterproof and its effectiveness in heavy rain is limited. It is best suited for dry to moderately wet conditions.

Will the mask restrict my horse's vision?

No, the mask features raised mesh panels that keep the material off the horse's eyes, ensuring clear vision and preventing irritation.

How often should I clean the fly mask?

It is recommended to clean the mask regularly, ideally after each use or at least weekly, depending on how dirty it gets. This maintains hygiene and ensures optimal performance.

What is the UV protection rating?

The mask blocks up to 65% of harmful UV rays, helping to protect your horse's sensitive skin and eyes from sun exposure.

Can I leave this mask on my horse 24/7?

While designed for extended wear, it's advisable to remove the mask for short periods daily to allow the horse's skin to breathe and to check for any signs of irritation or rubbing, especially if your horse is sensitive or prone to skin issues.

Troubleshooting

Mask seems too tight or causes discomfort.

Double-check the sizing. Ensure you have selected the correct size for your horse's head. Adjust the zip closure slightly if possible, but avoid over-tightening. If the size is incorrect, consider exchanging for a different size.

Horse is rubbing the mask off.

Verify the fit. A mask that is too loose can be caught and pulled off. Ensure the zip closure is secure. Make sure the mask is not pressing on any sensitive areas of the horse's face or ears.

Material appears dirty or stained.

Clean the mask according to the care instructions using mild soap and cold water. Allow it to air dry completely. Stubborn stains may require gentle scrubbing with a soft brush.

Fly protection seems reduced.

Inspect the mesh panels for any damage or blockages. Ensure the mask is fitted correctly so there are no gaps where flies can enter. Clean the mask to remove any debris that might be hindering its effectiveness.
