Fly Visors? Anyone got one??

[Holzdweaver]

Can anyone who uses them, give me any feedback on the fly visors, the style like rambo have brought out, which looks like a beekeepers hat

In comparison to the normal fly masks? My boy is very sensitive to flies near his eyes (they swell and run) so has to wear one and the visors look a lot better for eye clearance. Do they work as well? or do the horses whip them off at the first opportunity? lol


Thank you in advance

I have one and cant recommend it enough, My horse has never once removed it and he too wears it constantly. He's prone to rubs and soreness and *touch wood* that's been totally solved with this hood.
He also hates his eyelashes being touched and rubs a lot with a regular hood- he's obviously far comfier in this type.
No bad points at all and when I have some spare cash I will be buying more for my other horse.
Worth the money in my opinion.

Saw one for first time tonight girl on yard had one. Was really impressed with it. Keeps well away from eyes- not squashed against face and eye lashes poking through when mare came in. There is a detachable nose net as well so can take that off if not needed.
Definitely thinking about getting one.

I tried a series one and it rubbed my boy.

If anyone can suggest one suitable for a v thin skinned horse that would be great

Thanks! They look very sensible actually.
Edited as I was looking at the wrong thing!

I was originally looking at a rambo one, but i quite like the look of this one instead:

like the fact you can buy replacement ears plus it has a houdini strap for my 'lets throw the mask into the next field' horse xD

That's the one I was looking at! I was googling "fly visor" on one page (and found that) and opened your link on another page. I think I prefer that one too. You can buy replacement mask parts too.

I've got the Rambo one and IMO it's fab. Plus for me it has the nose net which is great as my boy has a white nose so stops him getting sunburn.

Is this the Rambo one you have? Do the ear bits come off if you want them to?? Thanks
