Best Horse Fly Control Masks of 2025

"I've tried many fly masks, but these are by far the best. The edges are soft and don’t leave marks on my horse's ears. I’m finally giving up the search for better options. Great value!"

"I haven’t used it on my horse yet, but I tried it on my dog to check the size. I prefer masks with fluff around the nose and ears since my dog tends to rub. The mesh is thicker than other brands, which should make it last longer. The emerald color is nice, and it’s larger than what I usually get, but it should fit my draft cross perfectly. Overall, I’m very happy!"

"Finding a fly mask for my yearling quarter horse was challenging. Most yearling sizes were too big, but this foal-sized mask works great for my small yearling. For reference, my filly is 13hh with a small head. I hope this helps anyone in a similar situation!"

"I decided to try this fly mask after reading positive reviews. It fits my smaller OTTB perfectly in the Arabian size, and I appreciate that it's a bright color, making it easy to find in the pasture. Hoping it holds up against her rubbing!"

"I should really consider investing in this product. As horse owners know, fly masks can take a beating, especially with other horses around. This mask has held up well, and I love that it protects my horse from the sun and bugs. A little more color variety would be nice, though."

"This fly mask is fantastic! It fits my quarter horse perfectly, keeping flies away from his face while allowing him to graze comfortably. It's also super easy to clean and dries quickly."

"I have purchased two of these over the years. The fit is good and they last the season, even with my horses taking them off. I’m pleased with their affordability and strong Velcro. For my 15.3 horse, it fits well, and there’s room under the chin."

"This fly mask is great! It’s used daily and remains in good condition. I’ve washed it in the washing machine, and it cleans up so well. I’m very happy!"

"I have a thoroughbred and was worried it might be too small, but the measurements were accurate. He was relaxed when I put it on, and now his eyes are protected from flies."

"I have a gypsy horse gelding who developed a facial wound that looked awful. He kept rubbing the spot, and the other fly masks I tried only made it worse. I ended up purchasing four of these masks—three without ears and one with ears and a long nose cover. He fits well in the large size, and thanks to the Velcro design, he can't remove them. After two months of battling, he is almost healed. I do wish there was an option for ear covers without the nose cover since it's a bit long for him, but I truly have no complaints. These sturdy masks have been a lifesaver, and I appreciate the cooler netting, especially during the hot Houston summer. If I remember, I’ll try to add a photo or video later."

"I find this mask to be soft and a good size. My horse seems to like it too! It's much easier to close than others I've tried, and it isn't heavy at all. I'm really happy with this mask."

"While I’m not a fan of the color, the high UV rating and reasonable price make it worthwhile. I was initially concerned about the quality, but I’m impressed with the fit and overall construction. I prefer using masks without ears in winter for my blue-eyed, pink-pigmented paint mare. It would be fantastic if I could find the same mask with ears for other seasons."

“I use this fly mask on my two girls during the day, and I haven't tried it while riding yet. My mule does great with it; she rolls, gets it muddy, dunks her face in the water, and rubs it on the scratching post, and it holds up very well. The felt edges keep it soft against their faces, preventing rub sores and tender spots. They fit perfectly, and I can see their eyes through the sheer material. I got these last year, and they still look like new. Just ordered another one for another horse; definitely worth the money.”

“I absolutely love these fly masks! There are no scratchy plastics that can rub my horse raw. They are extremely lightweight and easy to clean, and I was pleasantly surprised by their durability! I won’t be using anything else. Thank you for providing a Warmblood size for my Friesian Zeus!”

“I adore this mask for our donkey, Gandalf, but this is his second one in just 3 1/2 months, and it’s already worn out like the first one. I got the second one hoping the first was a fluke, but sadly, the second has worn out as well, allowing flies to get in underneath. I really wanted this to work because it’s comfortable and fits beautifully, allowing him to see while still shading his eyes. Plus, I can see his cute face! Unfortunately, I’d end up needing to buy 6-8 of these a year instead of just one of the others, which I can’t justify.”

"I've purchased several and will continue to. Very nice and durable!"

"This mask is amazing! My horse doesn't lose it in the pasture. It's comfortable, keeps flies out, and very easy to clean. Not a single tear after a month!"

"Let me start by saying I only have use of one arm. I was thrilled that both my mares put their noses right into the mask. They seem to love it, and it's been strong and intact even after weeks of use!"

"I've tried several stretchy fly masks, and I really like this brand. Affordable and good fit, with eye holes designed to avoid irritation. I appreciate the nice packaging too. Just a heads up, holes may happen over time, but it's manageable."

"I really enjoy this fly mask. My horse can be a bit of a troublemaker and puts holes in them quickly, but I love the fit and feel. It’s made well, and despite not lasting a full season, I’m still satisfied."

"I purchased a Full/Large size for my Thoroughbreds, but they were quite tight, making them difficult to put on. The stiff screening around the eyes and ears was also disappointing. I prefer to shop elsewhere for masks in the future."

"I find this mask to be great for my horse. With one blue eye, it effectively protects him. Flies and bugs are a real problem in the hot southern summer, and this mask does the job."

"The TuffTEQ with ears has giant ears! My horse usually wears average-sized tack, and while this mask fits mostly, the ears are a few inches too large. Despite that, I appreciate the excellent UV protection and the good construction."

"I bought this mask primarily for the extra UV protection. It’s well made, and my horses can’t rub it off, plus the Velcro is very reliable. It fits all my quarter horses perfectly, making it an excellent value."

"I really love these fly masks for my horses. They are durable and come in cute colors. After washing them, they've held up just fine."

"I own two of these masks for my horse who is blind in one eye. They fit well and are quite durable, even with him wearing them 24/7. I appreciate the double velcro for added security."

"I was pleasantly surprised by the weight and construction of this fly mask. It fits my quarter horse well, and I hope it lasts for daily wear since my horse has uveitis occasionally."

"I bought these masks for my two horses, a standardbred and a Tennessee Walker. They fit really well and stay on all day. I appreciate that they are much easier to use than dealing with velcro straps. I even bought another pair to switch out when I wash the first set. They clean up easily and seem quite durable. The colors are nice, and I love that flies can't slip under the mask while my horses can see well through the eye mesh. My horses tolerate putting them on and taking them off without issues. I highly recommend these masks, especially for the price!"

"I really enjoy using this mask while riding in buggy areas or through the woods. My horse has a good visual field through the fine mesh, and it’s super light and stretchy for easy application. However, I’ve learned to be cautious; if I leave it on while the horse is in the paddock, it could twist and obscure their vision if they roll or rub their head on something. So, I prefer to use it only while riding, as the bridle fits over it easily."

"I have a 'Houdini' horse who always manages to escape from other fly masks. This one fits him comfortably with plenty of room for his eyes, and best of all, it STAYS ON! I really appreciate the design."
