Shires FlyGuard Pro Fine Mesh Fly Mask – UV Protection & Eye Clearance

Comfort meets protection for busy summer days

The Shires FlyGuard Pro Fine Mesh Fly Mask blends advanced materials with a thoughtful silhouette to move with your horse. It creates a barrier against insects while staying clear of sensitive facial areas, so your horse can focus on the moment rather than the pests.

From the barn to the arena, this mask is designed to endure daily turnout and playful paddock sessions. The 3D Eye Visor uses reinforced darts and a structured frame to hold the mesh away from the eyes, helping prevent contact with eyelashes and eyelids even when the horse rolls or shakes its head.

Why riders choose FlyGuard Pro

• Maximum eye clearance: The 3D Eye Visor keeps the mesh away from the eyes, reducing irritation and rubbing.
• 70%+ UV protection: A reliable shield for pink skin and light coats on bright days, while helping to keep colors from sun bleaching.
• Breathable ears: Airstream fabric provides a soft, ventilated barrier that blocks pests while letting heat escape.
• Fine mesh defense: Engineered to stop midges and no-see-ums, even in pest-dense environments.
• Rugged and reliable: Field-tested durability supports daily turnout, paddock play, and ranch life without losing shape.

What to expect in use

• Comfortable fit around the jaw and poll, reducing fuss during grooming or mounting.
• Clear visibility with reduced eye shadow, aiding focus during training and riding sessions.
• UV-rated protection that helps preserve skin in bright sunlight and minimizes glare on glossy coats.
• Long-lasting construction designed to stand up to rolls, brushes, and busy days at the barn.

Size options and care tips

Available in Sky, Full, and Ears sizes to accommodate different horse builds. For the best fit, measure from poll to mid-nose and around the nose and poll; when between sizes, opt for the larger size for comfort and movement.

Care is simple: rinse or wipe down after use, hand wash with mild detergent, and air dry away from direct heat to maintain shape and filtration efficiency.
