LeMieux Kudos Aeroguard Full Fly Mask for Horses
Description
Kudos Aeroguard Full Fly Mask - Breathable 3D Mesh Protection for Summer Turnout
The Kudos Aeroguard Full Fly Mask is a full-face fly mask for horses and ponies that covers the eyes, ears and nose to keep flies and insects away during field turnout. It is best for horses turned out in warm, fly-heavy weather, and particularly useful for those with sensitive or lightly pigmented noses thanks to the block-out nose net covering that helps shield the muzzle from UV rays.
Breathable 3D mesh panels around the ears, nose and under the cheeks promote airflow for greater comfort in hot conditions, while fleece edging softens the contact points so your horse is more likely to keep the mask on all day.
Key Features
- 3D mesh panels at the ears, nose and under the cheeks promote airflow in warm weather
- Stand-out mesh eye covering plus a structured browband for added clearance over the eyes and unrestricted visibility
- Block-out nose net covering protects the sensitive nose from UV rays

- Fleece edges maximise comfort and reduce rubbing at the cheeks and poll

How to Use
- Measure your horse from the poll to the muzzle and across the jaw, then compare with your usual headcollar size (pony, cob, full or extra full).
- Slide the mask over the muzzle and up the face, easing the ears into the mesh ear covers one at a time.
- Pull the forelock through the forelock slit to help hold the mask in position.
- Fasten the closure so the mask is snug but not tight - you should fit a couple of fingers under the fleece edging.
- Check the mesh eye covering stands clear of the eyelashes and that the browband sits level.
- Remove the mask daily to check for rubs, brush off dust and hair, and inspect the mesh for damage.
FAQ
What size fly mask does my horse need?
Use your usual headcollar size as a starting point - pony, cob, full or extra full - and measure from the poll to the muzzle and across the jaw. A mask that is too small can sit too close to the eyes and rub, while one that is too large will slip and let flies underneath.
Can my horse see through the Aeroguard fly mask?
Yes. The stand-out mesh eye covering and structured browband hold the mesh clear of the eyes, giving unrestricted visibility so the horse can graze and move around the field normally.
Does this fly mask cover the nose?
Yes, this is the full-face version. It includes a block-out nose net covering that protects the sensitive nose from UV rays, which suits horses and ponies with pink or lightly pigmented muzzles.
Will the mask stay on in the field?
The forelock slit adds stability and security, and the fleece edges reduce rubbing, which raises the chances of your horse keeping the mask on all day. Check the fit is snug without being tight before turnout.
How do I clean the fly mask?
Shake off dust and loose hair, then hand wash in cool water with a mild detergent and air dry away from direct heat. Inspect the mesh, seams and fleece edging regularly and replace the mask if the mesh is damaged.
Can it be worn in the stable or while travelling?
Yes. The breathable 3D mesh construction suits stable use and travelling as well as field turnout, though the mask should always be removed daily so the face can be checked.
