6663 Fine Mesh Fly Mask with Ear Holes
The Fine Mesh Fly Mask with Ear Holes provides excellent protection against small insects and flies throughout the Spring and Summer months. Ideal for horses and ponies who prefer to have their ears free, this mask features ear holes to slip the ears through.
Fleece padding around the nose, along the forehead and at the seams ensure a snug fit and prevent rubbing, while darting in the mesh keeps the mask lifted and away from the eyes. Two adjustable, secure touch-close straps at the jaw make for a sure fit.

Great quality fly mask
This is attractive, well-made, fits perfectly and stays on. My 36-year-old horse seems to find it comfortable and it really stays on. Nicer than other fly masks Iâve used.

Almost 5 star worthy
Have had this fly mask for almost a month, used daily on my horse in a pasture. Holding up pretty well (some small holes and snags from rubbing, but acceptable for daily use). I like that there is a lot of room around the eyes which I always feel traditional fly masks lack. Very sturdy material that doesnât collapse around the eyes. The reason for 4 and not 5 stars is that the velcro is a little long and leaves long trailing ends that can get caught and therefore pulled off (see pics). I have a QH gelding, so it seems bigger than it should be for a stock horse. Also, needs double velcro so it canât come off as easily. Have found it off him once so far, will update at the end of summer so we can see how it makes it thru a full season.

Great mask and it’s NOT made in China!
I wish they had it in black because my horse is black but I am impressed with this mask. It is holding up much better than the Cashel Quiet ride. I was having to purchase a new Cashel Quiet Ride every month because it would tear.The material over the eyes is not quite as thin as on the CQR but not as thick as the normal masks so it is better for my horse. The only thing I don’t like is it doesn’t have a hole to pull the forelock through and it bothered my horse so I had to cut one. I will definitely buy this mask again! This mask is made in either Ireland or England.

Horses accept wearing mask
I love this fly mask–not only do the horses leave them on, they look good. I have ordered many fly masks and these seems to be comfortable for the horses since they leave them on. If, for some odd reason they would get lost the bright accent colors would make finding them easy in a large pasture. With the fine mesh horses are protected from all flying insects and it is very easy to see inside the mask if someone couldn’t remove it for inspection.

GREAT FLY MASK! A+++
I’ve always used Cashel Crusader Fly Masks on my horses & still do like them, but decided to try one of these because a boarder of mine had one & I loved the look of it. I’ve since bought 5 of them & they are holding up well & typically staying on really well even on 3 horses that I have that seem to always get them off. They still do, but every 3rd or 4th day instead of every single day (heck sometimes within 20 minutes).They seem comfortable for my horses, wearing them 24/7 & in a pasture with trees they are bound to get them off at times so I don’t worry too much. I would purchase this brand again. 🙂

This looks stunning on our horse and fits her perfectly!

The cob size is a full size with a cob label. Don’t fall for the scam. It’s way too big and the velcro is too long; the horse rolls out of it multiple times a day. Buyer beware.

Excellent fly mask. Fits our gelding perfectly and doesn’t rub.
