• active horses where a secure fit is important even while grazing, moving and being active
• horses that wear a fly mask for several hours and should remain comfortably protected
   

The “Ibiza” fly mask was specially developed for horses that need particularly comprehensive protection in the head and nose area during fly season. Thanks to the integrated nose protection, it reliably protects not only the eyes and ears but also the sensitive nostrils from flies, horseflies and other insects. The robust yet breathable mesh material ensures optimal air circulation so no heat build-up occurs – even on warm summer days. Thanks to soft fur paddings on the nose and along the eye area, pressure points and rubbing are effectively avoided. At the same time, the integrated UV protection provides additional safety in strong sunlight.
 

• With nose protection – more safety for sensitive areas: The integrated nose protection also shields the particularly sensitive nose from insect bites and irritation. Horses with light skin or sweet itch benefit especially from this extended protection, as flies often gather around the nose area. This noticeably reduces stress, head tossing and restlessness on pasture.

• Soft fur padding on the nose – maximum comfort without rubbing: The sensitive nose area is protected by extra soft fur padding. This prevents friction and pressure points even when worn for long periods. This is especially important for horses with sensitive skin, as rubbing can occur quickly here. The combination of protection and comfort makes the fly mask ideal for daily use.

• Robust mesh material – effective against flies, pleasantly lightweight: The durable mesh fabric reliably keeps even small insects away while maintaining its shape. At the same time, it is made so lightly that your horse’s vision is not restricted. The long-lasting quality ensures the fly mask provides reliable protection even with daily use on pasture.

• With UV protection – safety in intense sunlight: In addition to insect protection, the “Ibiza” fly mask offers integrated UV protection. Light-coloured or sensitive horses are particularly prone to sunburn in the facial area. The material reduces UV exposure and thus protects against skin irritation and long-term damage – a key advantage for long summer days outdoors.

• Fur trim above the eyes – clearance for clear vision: The soft fur trim ensures that the mesh material does not lie directly on the eyes. This maintains sufficient distance to avoid pressure and protect the sensitive eye area. Your horse keeps a clear view and benefits from reliable fly protection at the same time.

• Breathable – airy and light for maximum wearing comfort: Thanks to the air-permeable structure, warm air can escape optimally. This keeps the head area pleasantly temperature-regulated even on hot summer days. This means your horse is much more likely to accept wearing the mask, even over many hours.

• Machine-washable – hygienic and easy to care for: After a long day on pasture, the fly mask can be easily cleaned in the washing machine at 30°C. This saves time and ensures that sweat and dust are thoroughly removed. This keeps the mask hygienic and ready for use in the long term.

• Perfectly combinable with the “Ibiza” fly sheet – a cohesive overall look: Visually, the fly mask is precisely matched to our “Ibiza” fly sheet. This not only creates a harmonious look but also a functional overall system for comprehensive insect protection. The combination of mask and sheet offers maximum all-around protection – ideal for horses that react particularly sensitively to flies.

Did you know that… horses do not fend off insects only because of bites? Even the constant buzzing around the eyes and nostrils measurably increases stress levels and can impair feed intake and concentration. A well-fitting fly mask significantly reduces these constant stimuli – which means more calmness on pasture, more relaxed behaviour and less energy loss from constant head tossing.

FAQ about the “Ibiza” fly mask:

Function

• Why is nose protection useful?
  The nose is particularly susceptible to insect bites. The additional protection reduces restlessness and provides lasting protection for sensitive skin.

Material

• Is the material durable?
  The robust mesh is durable and designed for daily use on pasture.

• Can I wash the fly mask?
  Yes, it is machine-washable at 30°C. We recommend letting it air dry.

• What makes the “Ibiza” fly mask different from other models?
  The integrated nose protection combined with soft fur padding and UV protection provides an extended protection area. This reliably covers even particularly sensitive zones.

• Is the fly mask suitable for sensitive horses?
  Yes, the soft fur padding on the nose and eye trim minimises friction. The breathable mesh prevents heat build-up and ensures high wearing comfort.

• Can a horse wear a fly mask continuously?
  With a good fit and breathable material, that is possible without any problems. Regular checks and short vision checks are important.

• Does the mask impair vision?
  No, the shape-stable mesh material provides sufficient distance from the eyes and allows clear vision while still offering protection.
