The grey plastic-coated mesh blocks around 70% of damaging UV rays, which is why it is the mask reached for on pink-skinned noses as much as on fly-tormented ones.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eWhat makes it stay on is the eye dart construction. The darts hold the mesh out and away from the eye instead of letting it lie flat against the lashes, so the mask keeps its shape when a horse rubs it on a fence rail — and a mask that keeps its shape is a mask that does not end up round the throat by teatime.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eThree-hole cap takes both ears and the forelock, which is what stops the mask sliding round the head.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eEye darts hold the mesh clear of the eye rather than letting it sit against the lashes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePlastic-coated mesh blocks around 70% of damaging UV rays, which KM Elite link to reduced Head Shaking Syndrome symptoms.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLong style, so the mesh carries down over the nose as well as the eyes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCut to sit close at the edges, so flies cannot crawl in under the rim.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHand-made by Cashel; Horse Journal Product of the Year 2008.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses turned out through the fly season, particularly those that rub their eyes raw.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003ePink-skinned and light-coloured noses that burn, where the long mesh matters more than the eye panel.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses showing signs of Head Shaking Syndrome in bright light.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurnout in open fields with no shade to stand in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot the right mask for ridden work — the Cashel Crusader Quiet Ride is the one made to go under a bridle.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFit it to the same size as the horse's halter — that is how Cashel size the Crusader.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSettle the forelock and both ears into the three-hole cap before fastening, so nothing is folded over.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the mesh sits clear of the lashes on both sides before you turn out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTake the mask off daily, shake the grit out of the mesh and look at both eyes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eRinse in cool water and air dry.
