Best fly mask with nose protection for pink nose

[applestroodle]

Probably been done to death but wondered what are the best fly masks with nose protection?

Thanks in advance

I have a Premier Equine one, it's fab. Mine has massive ears and they fit in it lovely. Just bought a Shires one but haven't tried it yet.

I have an equilibrium one for my TB which has been great. I've been using it for the past 2 summers and it is so much easier than suncream and flywipes! It fits really well with strong velcro and has plenty of room for adjustment. I like that it has a slightly padded nose and is very thin mesh so it's really light. I've never had any rubs with it and my lad happily lowers his head to have it on so I assume he finds it comfy!

I always used the equilibrium ones and never had any problems xx

Yes, another fan of the Equilibrium ones here as well.

Equilibrium - has been great for 3 different horses with pink noses.

I love the Cashel crusader...really good quality and never comes off...perfect for covering my boys pink nose.

Equillibrium one! Its about £30ish but worth the extra money.

I love both Cashel and Equilibrium masks, both are brilliant.

I like the premier equine ones. I prefer them to the equilibrium ones plus they are much cheaper.

I have an appaloosa with lots of pink bits and have had the cashel crusader ones for years.

Cashel - my present two and two last horses all have very large pink noses. No sunburn with the mask, but I leave it on 24 x 7 and never use sunblock.

I have had an equine premier one - came with a rug I bought. It is not bad, but the Cashel is more soft and better quality, though more expensive. I only buy this brand as I believe they are the best.

My equilibrium mask rubbed my poor horse's pink nose to the point where there was blood coming through the mesh (this was the first use after being out in it for 8 hours!) I Wouldn't put in near any horse ever again. I am now back to using factor 50 3x a day, yes his nose is a bit burnt, but at least it is not rubbed to shreds. If anybody has any other ideas how to prevent sunburn on a very pink nose I would be interested to hear them!!!!!
