It is aimed squarely at the light-coloured horse that comes in from a July day with a pink nose and sore eyes.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe useful detail is that it converts. Each ear covering can be cut straight across above the stitched seam to leave an earless mask, so one mask handles the horse that tolerates ears and the horse that will not. Cutting is a one-way decision, which is worth remembering before you reach for the scissors.\u003c\/p\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003ePerformance \u0026amp; Benefits\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eMesh gives 50% UV protection, aimed at light-coloured horses that burn on the nose and around the eyes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFull coverage over the eyes, ears and nose in a single mask.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eConverts to an earless mask by cutting each ear covering above the stitched seam.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBlack mesh and black trim, which shows dust and hay chaff less than a pale mask.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBuilt for daily turnout rather than for occasional use.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eSuitable For\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eLight-coloured and pink-skinned horses that burn on the nose and round the eyes.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eDaily turnout through the fly season.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses that will not tolerate ear coverings, using the earless conversion.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eFields with no shade, where a horse stands out in full sun.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot available in small fittings — KM Elite point to their Combat Fly Mask range, made in Extra Small through Extra Large, for ponies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u0026lt;\u0026gt;\u003ch5\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h5\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eSettle both ears into the ear coverings before fastening, so neither is folded.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eCheck the mesh clears the lashes on both sides before you turn out.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTo convert to an earless mask, cut each ear covering straight across above the stitched seam.
