"their heads are too small for the Horse size and almost too big for the Warmblood size."
"This is the second time I've purchased these fly masks for my horses."
"My gelding has a red spot in his eye and the vet says that he needs to wear a fly mask all the time to keep his eyes protected from the sun....the fact that this blocks out 70% of the UV rays, I decided to give it a try."
"The only fault I can give this mask is it runs large and I have to fold over the Velcro closure to make it fit reasonably well."
"Very thoughtful - fits over ears, which my horse appreciates, as he tries to stick his ears into it as I am putting it on him."
"I found that it runs a little big, so if your stuck on what size to get, order a size down, but definitely use the sizing chart first."
"This was the most expensive fly mask I've ever bought and it was terrible!"
With the same design and quality as the Crusader Pasture Fly Mask, the Quiet-Ride Fly Mask will protect your horse while you ride. Sheer mesh gives your horse a clear line of vision on the trail.

"This worked out much better than his original Farnam fly mask I'd bought at Tractor Supply."
"My horse has recurrent uveitis, and I ordered this Quiet Ride fly mask to use as both a fly mask and 'sunglasses' when I ride."
"I bought the arab/cob size for my old arabian who has cataracts - we are in Colorado so the sun glare can be extreme especially with snow on the ground."
"Bought this fly mask (horse size) a couple of weeks ago for my Tennessee Walker that has recurrent conjunctivitis & eye irritation due to flies & insects."
"I like the see through masks because I have looked through both, and although my eyes are set differently in my head, these are much easier to see through than the heavier masks."
"While this is much thinner than a typical fly mask, my mare is way happier wearing it."
"I bought this type of Cashel mask for my horse over seven years ago, and only this summer has it finally begun to fall apart."
The Intrepid Fly Veil is an all crochet veil with the exception of the ears.

"I don't know if it's me, but fly veils without the string to tie under your horse's chin never stay on."
"I did purchase the silver one too, and I felt it fit a bit different but still works."
"Keeps the bugs off my horse's ears."
"Beautiful and well made fly bonnet."
"Which is fine with me because I ride both English and Western and my headstall is a one-ear so it doesn't have a throatlatch and that actually works out perfectly for me."
"I will size them down a little when I have time to sit down and do it, but it looked perfect for my event."
"I ordered horse size, but ears way to small."
