How do I choose the right fly mask or veil for my horse?

Start by thinking about when and how you'll be using it.

If you need protection during turnout and field time, our PVC fly mask is the one to go for. It's made from durable, highly breathable PVC mesh with approximately 70% UV protection, and features an extended nose guard for horses with sensitive pink muzzles. The light-reflecting colour helps keep your horse cool during warm weather. Velcro closure tabs come with added length so you can cut them to size for a more customised fit.

If you need protection while riding or driving, our nylon fly mask is the better choice. It's made from soft 300 denier nylon mesh with a forelock opening so it sits neatly over a bridle, and black mesh to reduce sun glare without restricting your horse's vision. Like the PVC mask, it has an extended nose guard and soft fleece binding at all contact points.

If you want fly protection and high visibility while riding, our fluorescent fly veil is the one to go for. It's lightweight and low profile so it sits neatly under bridles and nosebands, with stretch lycra ears to reduce noise and a satin binding for comfort at the poll and brow. Part of our Epic Be Seen range — pair it with our fluorescent exercise sheet, leg wraps, and brushing boots for complete head-to-hoof visibility.

All three styles are suitable for all horse types including broad, heavy, and draft breeds, and are available in sizes from Cob to Draft.

FAQs

What is the difference between the PVC and nylon fly masks?

The main difference is what they're designed for. Our PVC fly mask is built for turnout and field use — it's made from durable PVC mesh with a light-reflecting colour to help keep your horse cool during warm weather. Our nylon fly mask is designed for riding and driving — it's made from softer 300 denier nylon mesh with a forelock opening so it sits neatly over a bridle, and black mesh to reduce sun glare without restricting vision. Both have an extended nose guard, soft fleece binding at all contact points, and structured darts to keep the mask off the eyes.

Can fly masks be worn during turnout?

Yes — our PVC fly mask is specifically designed for turnout and field use. It's made from durable, highly breathable PVC mesh that stands up to daily outdoor use, with adjustable velcro fastenings and a light-reflecting colour to help keep your horse cool. Our nylon fly mask is designed for riding and driving rather than turnout, so if you need a mask for field use, the PVC version is the right choice.

Can fly masks be worn while riding?

Our nylon fly mask is designed for riding and driving — it has a forelock opening so it sits neatly over a bridle without interfering with tack, and black mesh to reduce sun glare without restricting your horse's vision. Our PVC fly mask is designed for turnout rather than ridden work. If you want fly protection while riding with added visibility, our fluorescent fly veil is a great option — it's lightweight, low profile, and sits neatly under most bridles and nosebands.

What is a fly veil and how is it different to a fly mask?

A fly veil sits over your horse's ears and brow under the bridle, protecting against flies and reducing noise and distractions during ridden work. It doesn't cover the face or muzzle the way a fly mask does — it's a lighter option designed specifically for riding. Our fly veil is low profile so it sits neatly under bridles without adding bulk or interfering with fit, while the fluorescent yellow colour makes you and your horse highly visible to drivers and other road users. It's part of our Epic Be Seen range for hacking on roads and lanes. If you need full face and muzzle protection, a fly mask is the better choice — if you want ear and brow protection while riding with added road safety, the fly veil is ideal.

Are your fly masks suitable for heavy horses and draft breeds?

Yes — all three styles are suitable for all horse types, including broad, heavy, and draft breeds. Both fly masks are available in sizes from Cob to Draft, and the fly veil is available in Full, XFull, and Draft. The velcro fastenings on the fly masks come with added length so you can cut them to size for a more customised fit around broader heads.

How do I care for a fly mask or veil?

For fly masks, remove any loose hair and dirt with a brush before washing. Secure all fastenings and machine wash at 30°C. Allow to dry naturally away from direct heat — don't tumble dry. For the fly veil, machine wash at 30°C and dry naturally. Checking the velcro fastenings regularly and removing any hair or debris that gets caught in them will help keep them secure and extend the life of the mask.

Fly Masks & Veils

Flies and biting insects around the face are one of the most persistent summer challenges for horses — affecting focus during work, disturbing rest during turnout, and causing irritation around sensitive areas like the eyes, ears, and muzzle. A well-fitting fly mask or veil is one of the simplest and most effective ways to manage this.

Our Epic Equestrian fly masks are made from breathable mesh with soft fleece binding at all key contact points to prevent rubbing, structured darts to keep the mask off the eyes, and an extended nose guard for horses with sensitive pink muzzles. Both styles are suitable for all horse types including broad, heavy, and draft breeds, and are available in sizes from Cob - Draft. Our PVC fly mask is designed for turnout and field use, with a light-reflecting colour to help keep your horse cool. Our nylon fly mask is designed for riding and driving, with a forelock opening and black mesh to reduce sun glare without restricting vision.

Our fluorescent fly veil is part of our Epic Be Seen range — a lightweight, breathable mesh veil with stretch lycra ears to reduce noise and a satin binding for comfort at the poll and brow. Made in fluorescent yellow for maximum visibility on roads, lanes, and bridleways, it pairs perfectly with our fluorescent exercise sheet, leg wraps, and brushing boots for head-to-hoof visibility and insect protection while you ride.
