The LeMieux Bug Relief Full Mask is a pull-on fly mask for horses and ponies that covers the face and ears, offering 75% UV protection alongside relief from flies, bugs and other irritants. It is best for horses turned out during the spring and summer insect season, and for sensitive or pale-skinned faces that need extra cover from bright sun.

How to Use
- Measure your horse from poll to muzzle and across the jaw, then compare with the size chart before ordering.
- Gather the mask, place it over the muzzle and draw it gently up the face in one smooth movement.
- Ease the mesh ears over each ear in turn and pull the forelock through the forelock slit.
- Check the eye darts hold the fabric clear of the eyelashes and that the fit is close but not tight at the jaw.
- Remove daily to check for rubbing, clean around the eyes and ears, and refit before turnout.
FAQ
How much UV protection does the Bug Relief Full Mask give?
It offers 75% UV protection, which helps shield the face and eyes from strong sunlight during spring and summer turnout.
Does the mask cover the ears?
Yes. The full mask includes breathable mesh ears that allow airflow to help keep your horse cool while keeping insects off the ears.
Will it rub my horse's face?
The pull-on design has no buckles across the face and the four-way stretch fabric sits close to the head, which minimises the chance of rubbing. Remove the mask daily to check the skin around the eyes, ears and jaw.
What size should I order?
Fly masks are most often returned for fit, so measure from poll to muzzle and check the width across the jaw against the size chart. If your horse is between sizes, or is a broad-headed cob or warmblood, choose the larger size.
Can my horse see through it?
Yes. Bug-eye eye darts hold the fabric away from the face to maximise freedom and visibility around the eyes.
How do I clean the mask?
Brush off dried mud, then hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and dry naturally away from direct heat.
