FlyGuard Pro Fine Mesh Fly Mask with Ear Hole - Pony

This specific product listing is for the Pony size. Shires offers other sizes, including Extra Full, Full, and Cob.

The mask offers over 70% UV blocking to help protect your pony's eyes and coat from sun damage.

It is generally recommended to remove the mask for periods, especially when the pony is stabled, to allow the skin and eyes to breathe and to check for any signs of irritation.

The ear holes are designed to allow for freedom of ear movement while protecting the sensitive areas around the ears with soft fleece lining. They offer protection against flies reaching the ear canal.

You can hand wash the mask in cool water with a mild detergent and rinse thoroughly. Allow it to air dry completely away from direct heat.

The 3D eye visor creates a 'tent' effect, keeping the fine mesh material from pressing directly onto the pony's eyes, which improves comfort and prevents potential eye irritation.

Yes, the mask is designed and tested for durability for field use, using robust materials to withstand regular turnout conditions.

Check the fit; the mask may be too tight or the wrong size. Ensure the fleece lining is clean and smooth. Adjust straps to ensure even pressure distribution.

Introduce the mask gradually. Allow the pony to see and sniff it first. Offer treats during initial introductions and short wear times. Ensure the fit is comfortable and not restrictive.

Clean the mask regularly using cool water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not use abrasive materials that could scratch the mesh.

Ensure the hook-and-loop fasteners are clean and free of debris. If the fasteners are worn, consider replacing the mask as they may no longer provide a reliable hold.
