Fly masks and little ponies (Welsh A size)

[poiuytrewq]

Recommend a good full face mask to fit?

I’ve spent a fortune and nothing found the perfect one yet!

This summer I’ve bought a Rambo bee keeper in XS and a Le mieux XS both massive. Stupidly kept and tried over night, both came off as too big.
- if anyone has a bigger pony and is interested in either?!

A shires sun shield- too close to his eyes.
Normal shires seem ok but he gets them off quite easily.

Equilibrium, weirdly the ones with no ears/nose are perfect fit wise, bought the one with ears and nose and it’s really awful. So flat on his face.

Harry hall/masta is a great fit and cheap so I’ll just get more of them If no better suggestions but I’d like a bit of UV protection as pony has a very pink nose.

Interested in which brands other pony owners rate?

He’s 11.2 and Shetland size in head collar

I prefer to use something a little larger than recommended, to keep the fabric off his face. I thread a cheap plastic belt through the headpiece and fasten the belt loosely round his neck, like a throat latch. So far it has stood up to him scrubbing his head along the ground, rubbing on the gatepost, scratching ears on the back of his foreleg etc..

I use the Shires mask without the ears on my 11.2hh Welsh A and keep it on by doing a plait round/through the section that sits behind the ears if that makes sense?!

I think I've got some lycra ones in the loft. If they're still OK, happy to send to you as I'm not using them.

That’s incredibly kind. I’ve not tried Lycra ones. Happy to pay if your not going to use them

Sorry just seen your reply. I'll put a reminder in my phone to check the loft for them tomorrow after work and message you eitherway!
