LeMieux Ride On Fly Mask for Horses with Mesh Ears
Description
LeMieux Ride On Fly Mask - Fly Protection You Can Ride In
The LeMieux Ride On Fly Mask is a lightweight fly mask designed to fit over your horse's bridle so it can be worn while riding. It suits any horse or pony that shakes its head, fusses or loses concentration because of flies during schooling, hacking or in-hand work in the summer months.
Breathable mesh ears cover the ears without blocking airflow, and hook and loop tape tabs attach the mask around the bridle in seconds - no need to unfasten the headpiece or cheekpieces. It is best for riders who already use a field fly mask but need the same protection under tack.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can this fly mask be worn while riding?
Yes. The Ride On Fly Mask is designed to fit over the bridle and is intended for use during ridden work, unlike standard turnout fly masks.
How does it attach to the bridle?
It attaches with hook and loop tape tabs that wrap around the bridle straps, so you can fit and remove it without undoing the bridle.
Does it cover the ears?
Yes. The mask has breathable mesh ears that shield the ears from flies and midges while still allowing air to circulate.
What size should I choose?
Measure your horse from poll to muzzle and compare against the size options. Pony, cob and full suit most types. If your horse is between sizes, or has a broad jaw or long ears, choose the larger size for comfortable clearance.
How do I clean it?
Brush off dried mud, rinse in cool water and allow it to air dry naturally away from direct heat. Clear hair and debris from the hook and loop tape so it keeps gripping securely.
Will it interfere with my reins or noseband?
Fitted correctly over the bridle, the mask sits clear of the noseband and reins. Always check the fit before mounting and make sure your horse is comfortable with it at halt and walk first.
