Medium is the fitting for a cob or a lighter horse — enough coverage to keep the sun off a pink muzzle without a mask so large it sags at the jaw.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eIt is built for turnout rather than for the occasional bad day, and the ear coverings can be cut off above the stitched seam if the horse objects to them, leaving a perfectly serviceable earless mask. The trade-off is that the cut cannot be reversed, so it is worth giving the eared version a fair trial first.\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\u003eCobs and lighter horses with pink or light-coloured muzzles.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTurnout through the fly season where there is no shade to stand in.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eHorses sore around the eyes from face flies.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eOwners who want one mask that can become earless if the horse objects.\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eNot a pony fitting — KM Elite's Combat Fly Mask range runs down to Extra Small and covers smaller heads.\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.
