Fly-free grazing

The Field Relief fly mask provides protection against the sun and flying insects

If your horse gets irriated by flies and midges while grazing why not try the Field Relief fly mask from Equilibrium Products.

This full-face mask is made from soft net to protect the horse from those annoying flying insects, while the area around the eyes is rigid enough to ensure the mask remains at a comfortable distance from the eye itself.

Designed to allow the horse good visibility, it also features a detachable nose piece which prevents horses with pink noses suffering from sunburn. This can be removed for cleaning or on days when the sun is less strong.

The edge of the mask is padded to help prevent rubbing and elasticated for an improved fit. The mask is held in place with two Velcro fastenings under the jaw.

Available in three sizes: small (up to 14.2hh), medium/large (14.2-16.2) and extra large (over 16.2hh).

Costs around £25.
