This standard fly mask with ears fits well! The velcro closure is very secure and easy to use. Love the mesh ear coverage for keeping the gnats out.

These fly masks are comfortable for the horses, fit securely, and last more than one fly season. They can last even longer if the wearer doesn’t ditch it out in the pasture every other day. I prefer the style with ears because one of my horses has aural plaques, an autoimmune response thought to be triggered by fly bites, and I don’t want it spreading to the other horse.
