What's the best fly mask?

[Bimbambo]

Still haven't found the best fly mask for Magic

Have tried fringes but he gets them all off and I don't like leaving him out for long in a headcollar.

At the mo I have a Mark Todd full face (not nose) and ear mask which stays on but I have noticed it is starting to rub on his nose and there is no way of loosening it any further. It's also not great quality as the soft binding round the edges is coming away in several places.

Can anyone suggest one that is worth the money please?

I have the Rambo fly mask. Daffy tends to roll it off, but I find if you keep the velcro clean it stays on more times than it comes off. I'm also planning to modify it and add an extra velcro fastening or something.

A friend of mine has a horse with a scarred nose after using a Mark Todd fly mask.

This one i found is good, Cashel Crusader..

It doesn't rub, is really soft and Taffy has only got his off twice in 4 months. Not bad as he was getting his other one off on a daily basis.

I use the Rambo one for Ginny too It only comes off if she catches it on something (tree's etc.)

Never had a problem with the premier equine fly mask, and I've left it on for 7 days when I couldn't catch him and hadn't rubbed at all.

They're in the sale atm I think:

Another vote for these, both my ponies have them and now a friend has bought them for her guys.

Another vote for the cashel fly masks Mine has never gotten his off and not had any problems with rubbing either

Another vote for premier equine.
Been using them all summer without any hassles.

Another vote for the cashel, best fit and stayed put on mare. The fit was good (had to measure her face, there's a link on the website), nice and soft around the endges so no rubbing, ears were a decent size, space for forelock to pull through helped hold the mask in position, and had good clearance around the eye (she's dishfaced which makes a good fit more difficult).
I've tried the equilibrium, MT and PE ones - cashel has been best for us.
Have also seen them for sale at Ingatestone

I use a Shires mask on Belle as they are quite soft and have found the stiffer ones rub her face and eyes and she really doesn't like them. She's happy to wear Shires on 24/7 even out riding.

the equilibrium ones are fantastic

 

[Sunshine-x]

have an aeroborn? one and its great.

After having to ditch the fly fringes, and then realising that the ROMA lycra mask was actually causing his eyes to run (!) I've now got a Masta full face/ear mask. Fingers crossed!

equilibrium ones are fab, robinsons did have an offer on were you got a riding mask free when you buy the field one
