I'm needing to get a fly mask But dont know the best one to get.

I bought a Roma Lycra one in FULL SIZE but it totally squashed Hari's eyes

She is 16 hh but has a biggish head

Does anybody have any good suggestions?
 
Rambo flybuster fly mask.
everyone at my yard uses them, they have fleecey edges so don't rub and don't touch the eyes. They're great

I have a premier equine one - good clearance over the eyes and nice soft fabric with fleecey edges so it doesn't rub. Doesn't have ears, which is good for me! Only downside is that mesh is quite plastic-y rather than woven fabric. Makes it keep its shape well but if another naughty pony grabs it, it tears a bit more easily! Barry (16.2) has a large one and it fits well.
 
I have the Equilibrium one too in horse size, fits my 16.2 ID x TB x Shire well but the ears could do with being a tiny bit bigger so I did buy the bigger one too but it drowns him. Ive just ordered the Shires one off Barnstormers after a good review on here and its only £7. Im paranoid though that he can see properly and dont like any bits on the mask that arent see through. Knowing my horse he'd roll, dislodge the mask in some way and then not be able to see.
 
Hi

I think the Roma ones come up small as I tried a medium one on my mums 13hh pony (has a cob sized head) and it squashed his eyes. He has now got a Mark Todd one in medium which is fine.

I find the best ones are the Cashel Crusader, they are more expensive but last for years and fit really well. They have unusual sizes though...I have the arabian one on my chunky cob!

Premiere equine - they're on sale now at £6.49. My 16.2TB has a medium and my 15.2 french mare has a large (but has a head like a dinosaur!)
