Choosing a fly mask for your pony
Flies and insects can make summer turnout uncomfortable for ponies of every size. Our two fly masks are both available in Shetland and pony sizes, so smaller ponies are covered. Check the size options on each product page before you order.
Fly mask Solaire
The Fly mask Solaire has a UV resistant finish that blocks 70% of UV rays. The sides and top are made from highly breathable mesh, and the ears are made from elastane for comfort. Firm mesh with darts gives a good fit around the eyes. It fastens under the throat with elastic and hook and loop closures. It comes in Shetland, Pony, Cob and Full.
Fly Mask Super Bug
The Fly Mask Super bug is made from smooth, elastic fabric for comfortable wear, with mesh ears and eyes. The opening at the front keeps the forelock free, and it fastens under the throat with a zip. It comes in Shetland, Pony, Full and X Full.
Fly rugs for extra cover
If your pony needs more than a fly mask, we have two fly rugs.
Falabella fly rug
The Falabella fly rug is made with special measurements for Falabellas. It has a detachable neck and hood that fastens with hook and loop, so you can remove it when insects are less active. It also has double front closures, shoulder gussets, a belly flap with surcingles, leg straps and a tail flap. It is made from 180 gsm fine mesh polyester.
Eczema rug
The Eczema rug is a breathable, UV resistant rug made from fine mesh. It has an attached neck with an elastic insert, a wide belly flap with adjustable elastic surcingles, a wide tail flap and adjustable elastic leg straps. It comes in brown and zebra, in sizes 105, 125, 135 and 155, and can be combined with an eczema hood, which is sold separately.
Anti-fly fringe
The Anti-fly fringe helps your horse ward off insects from its head. It fastens to a head collar with hook and loop and comes in black, blue and zebra. The sizes are Shetland (63 cm), Pony (66 cm) and Cob (68 cm), measured as total fringe length. If you need a head collar to attach it to, take a look at our head collars.
Caring for your fly mask and fly rug
The Fly mask Solaire, Falabella fly rug and Eczema rug can all be machine washed at 30 degrees. Close the hook and loop fasteners first and wash them in a laundry bag. We recommend avoiding fabric softener and not tumble drying. Always check the care notes on the product page for the item you choose.
