Epic Equestrian Horse Fly Masks – Complete Protection Against Flies, Sun & Irritation

Keep your horse comfortable, protected, and stress-free all summer long with Epic Equestrian’s expertly designed horse fly masks. Offering full face, ear, and nose coverage, our fly masks shield against biting insects, harmful UV rays, and irritation, ensuring your horse stays calm, cool, and focused whether turned out in the field or worked under saddle.

Our collection includes two premium options: a soft nylon fly mask with forelock opening (ideal for turnout and riding over a bridle), and a sturdy PVC mesh fly mask (perfect for robust daily turnout protection). Both styles are designed for all horse builds, from light and refined to broad and heavy, ensuring a secure, rub-free fit for every horse.

Why Horses Need Fly Masks

During warmer months, flies, midges, and biting insects are more than just an annoyance they can cause irritation, allergic reactions, stress, and even infection. Sensitive horses are particularly vulnerable to sunburn on exposed areas such as the muzzle. A fly mask is the most effective way to protect your horse’s face, eyes, and ears, preventing discomfort and promoting well-being.

Common questions horse owners ask:

• Do fly masks protect against sunburn? Yes, our masks extend beyond the nose and have UV-protective mesh of approx. 70% to reduce the risk of sun damage.
• Do horses get hot in fly masks? No, our breathable mesh allows constant airflow, keeping your horse cool while blocking insects.
• Can horses wear fly masks while being ridden? Yes, our nylon fly mask is specially designed with a soft mesh and forelock opening, so it can comfortably be worn over a bridle during exercise.

Why Choose Epic Equestrian Fly Masks?

Unlike many standard fly masks that slip, rub, or don’t cover adequately, Epic Equestrian fly masks are designed with your horse’s comfort and protection in mind:

• All-build fit: Whether your horse is light, medium, or heavy-built, our fly masks provide generous yet secure coverage.
• Full coverage: Extending beyond the nose with ear protection included, shielding even sensitive areas from insects and sunlight.
• Durable designs: Choose between a PVC mesh mask for maximum durability and structure during turnout, or a nylon mesh mask for softness, flexibility, and riding compatibility.

• UV protection approx. 70%: Helps prevent sunburn on sensitive skin, particularly on white or pink noses.
