Ride-On Fly Mask

Ride-On Fly Mask – Ultimate Protection for Horses During Rides

A ride-on fly mask is an essential accessory for equestrians who want to protect their horses from flies, insects, and UV rays while riding. These masks are specifically designed to be worn comfortably under a bridle, ensuring that your horse remains focused and irritation-free during hacks, schooling sessions, or competitions.

At Online for Equine, we offer a wide range of ride-on fly masks that combine functionality, durability, and comfort. Whether you’re heading out on a countryside hack or working in an arena, these masks provide the protection your horse needs without compromising performance or visibility.

Why Choose a Ride-On Fly Mask?

Riding with a fly mask offers several benefits, ensuring that both horse and rider enjoy a more comfortable and focused experience:

• Insect Protection: Ride-on fly masks act as a barrier against flies, midges, and biting insects, preventing them from irritating your horse’s sensitive areas, such as the eyes and ears.
• UV Protection: Many ride-on fly masks feature UV-blocking properties, making them ideal for sunny days. This is particularly important for horses with light-colored coats or sensitive skin prone to sunburn.
• Comfortable Fit: Designed to be lightweight and ergonomic, these masks fit securely under a bridle without causing discomfort or interfering with reins, bits, or other tack.
• Enhanced Focus: By eliminating the distraction of insects, ride-on fly masks help your horse stay calm and focused, improving their performance during rides.

Explore Our Range of Ride-On Fly Masks

Our collection of ride-on fly masks includes a variety of styles and features to suit every horse and rider:

1. Lightweight Ride-On Fly Masks

These masks are crafted from ultra-light materials, ensuring your horse stays cool and comfortable even during long rides. The breathable mesh design allows for excellent airflow while providing effective protection.

2. UV Protective Ride-On Fly Masks

For horses spending extended time in the sun, UV-protective masks offer an added layer of shielding against harmful rays. These masks are ideal for summer rides or horses with sensitive skin.  Most of our fly masks feature a UV rating for sun protection.

3. Full-Face Ride-On Fly Masks

Full-face designs provide comprehensive protection, covering the eyes, ears, and sometimes the nose. These masks are perfect for horses that require maximum shielding from flies and UV rays.

4. Earless Ride-On Fly Masks

For horses that dislike ear coverage, earless designs offer effective protection for the eyes and face while leaving the ears free for comfort and freedom of movement.  We also offer earless fly masks for turnout.

Benefits of Using a Ride-On Fly Mask

Investing in a high-quality ride-on fly mask provides numerous advantages for both you and your horse:

How to Choose the Right Ride-On Fly Mask
