Fly masks with UV nose protection?

[katie_southwest]

Any suggestions of good ones please?
I think I had an equilibrium one once upon a time but have no idea where it went...
Want one with a nose bit too.


Thank you

Equilibrium are the best in my opinion xx

I LOVE my Equilibrium fly mask! My horse is perlino so all of his skin is pink, therefore during summer he looks like an astronaut with all of his UV gear on!
I own the max fly mask which covers the ears, face and nose. It is brilliant, it is a very secure fit, the nose flap stays down at all times and the mask has some rigidity around the eyes so that the mesh does not rub the skin! I wouldn't have it any other way!
And it really has stopped the sun, not only has my boy been fly free but he has also not had the slightest sunburn, despite being totally pink!!
This is where I ordered mine from as it worked out the cheapest:

Best of luck!

Guess I better stick with equilibrium
Im sure its somewhere in the shed but most probably moth eaten by now

I had an Equillibrium one for one of the cobs who has the biggest pinkest nose ever ! It did the job as far as the nose protection went, but the thin elastic rubbed him behind the jaw line. I now use the Premier Equine one, which is very robust & has fluffy edges so that precious doesn't get rubbed. I've found them to be a good fit across all sizes, robust & good value for money.

Thanks zebedee, I do worry about the flies getting in so always worry Iv done it up too tight so thats good to hear that its a good fit

I have a Roma one, half the price of Equilibrium (which are great) and it has a really big nose cover bit. So far, baby cob's nose is perfectly pink and uncrispy.

I opted for a Shires one this year, as i have had Equilibrium ones before and also Roma ones, they are a must for my chestnut mare with the pinkest nose and eyes that flies adore. But both the Equilibrium and Roma ones ended up not to be seen the following morning and after a thorough field walk found in various hedges!! They ended up with more darns in them than an old mans sock! In fact some friends said that the mare looked like the horsey equivalent of the Wicker Man - the Wicker Horse! Soooooo, that is why this year i chose the Shire, and to date i must say its been really good, but i do make her wear it with a head collar over the top, in an attempt to stop her making it into hedge jewellry.

Premier equine are a reasonable price, do a good job and last well

Cashel.

I have an Equilibrium one too, but this is better IMO.
