Fly Mask with Ear Cut-Outs by Kerbl

The Kerbl Fly Mask with Ear Cut-Outs offers all-around protection for horses against flies, gnats and biting insects that can cause distress and distraction during turnout or stable time. Made from a fine, durable mesh, this mask shields the eyes and forehead while still allowing excellent visibility and ventilation. Unlike standard fly masks, this model features ear cut-outs that help maintain the horse’s natural hearing and reduce heat retention around the ears, improving comfort during warm weather and active turnout. The full-size fit is suitable for adult horses and provides ample coverage without restricting the field of vision or movement.

Usage

Target Species: Horses

Application: Used outdoors during turnout, trail riding, paddock time, or anywhere flies and insects are present; also suitable for stable use when insects are a nuisance.

Method:

• Choose the full-size mask appropriate for your horse’s head measurement.

• Place the mask over the horse’s head, ensuring the ear cut-outs sit comfortably around the ears while the mesh covers the eyes and forehead.

• Adjust any closures (Velcro or straps) so the mask fits snugly without pinching or over-tightening.

• After use, inspect the mask for tears, wash if muddy or soiled (follow care instructions), and store in a cool, dry place.

Frequency:

• Ideal for daily use while insects are present — typically spring through early autumn.

• Remove during riding unless the mask is expressly designed for ridden use.

• Clean and inspect regularly to maintain clarity and comfort.
