White noses - Mask help

[Sheri]

My horse has a very white nose and although I put sun cream on him that is totally water proof I know in my heart it must just rub off.

I want to get him a netty mask that blocks the UV rays but the ones I've found only cover the front and his blaze goes around the one side of his nose and mouth. Last year we had to sew three nose nets onto his headcollar but its too tatty for him to wear again this year.

Surely someone must make them?

I've made my own in the past. I attach a piece of cotton (usually an old tea towel) to an ordinary flymask. That way you can make it as wide and long as you need. It's really easy to do and I am no seamstress!!

I use the equillibrium one its the only one i've found that works and i have tried them all over the 6 years of having him

Thank you I'll take a look at them if not I now know how to make my own!!

try sudocrem on instead of sun cream, its soothing and not as easy for them to rub off ,i use that and a nose net attached to a headcollar.
