Horse Fly Masks

When the sun comes out, so do horse flies. These pesky flying and biting insects can cause real problems for your four-legged friend during the summer months, and alongside a quality fly rug for horses, a fly mask will help you stay equipped for optimum fly protection.  

What are horse flies attracted to? Biting horse flies are attracted to sunlight, warmth, sweat and CO2 emissions, meaning your horse grazing in the field is a prime target for these troublesome pests. Horse fly bites can be really painful and irritating, and bad ones can be at risk of infection. Flies will tend to gravitate towards your horse’s ears and eyes, so a well-covering and robust fly mask will help protect these sensitive areas.
