With brands including Bucas, Horseware, Equiline, Aloga Equestrian, Kentucky Horsewear, LeMieux, and our own Emmers label, we stock one of the most comprehensive selections of fly masks for horses available from a single equestrian retailer. Whether you are looking for a simple, reliable everyday fly mask or a premium style with full ear and nose coverage, UV protection, and a co-ordinated colour to match your horse's rugs and saddle pads, Emmers Equestrian has the right option for every horse, every budget, and every level of fly sensitivity.
A good horse fly mask does far more than many riders realise. Flies targeting the eyes, ears, and face are one of the leading causes of stress and distraction in horses during the summer months, affecting behaviour under saddle, concentration during training, and general wellbeing at pasture. The right fly mask creates a physical barrier that blocks insects from the most sensitive areas of the face without restricting the horse's vision, causing discomfort from heat, or slipping and rubbing during movement in the field. Our range covers fly masks with ear covers for full head protection, fly masks without ears for horses sensitive around that area, and fly masks with nose extensions for horses with unpigmented or pink muzzle skin that is particularly vulnerable to sunburn and insect attention.
Each brand in our range brings something different. Bucas and Horseware offer proven, practical fly mask designs trusted by horse owners across Europe for their durability and reliable fit. Kentucky Horsewear and LeMieux combine effective protection with the beautiful seasonal colourways their brands are celebrated for, ideal for riders who want their horse's fly mask to co-ordinate with their full tack and rug collection. Equiline and Aloga Equestrian bring a more contemporary aesthetic with clean, considered designs that reflect their wider equestrian collections. And our own Emmers brand fly masks offer dependable, quality protection at an accessible price point, a great choice for yards where multiple horses need reliable everyday fly protection season after season.

Which fly mask brand is best for horses?

For beautiful colours that co-ordinate with rugs and saddle pads, Kentucky Horsewear and LeMieux are popular choices.

Our team at Emmers Equestrian can help you decide based on your horse's needs and your priorities.
What size fly mask does my horse need?
Fly mask sizing varies between brands but is generally based on the size of the horse's head, most brands offer Pony, Cob and Full, sometimes also Shet sizes. The mask should sit snugly without pressing on the eyes, with the mesh held slightly away from the eye surface to prevent rubbing. The fastenings should be secure enough to stay in place in the field without being so tight as to cause pressure marks. If you are unsure of the right size for your horse, our team at Emmers Equestrian can advise in-store, where you can physically compare different brands and sizes.
Should I choose a fly mask with or without ear covers?
Fly masks with ear covers provide more complete protection for horses that are troubled by flies around the ears, which is most horses during peak fly season. They also help reduce the noise and distraction of flies buzzing near the horse's ears, which can improve behaviour and concentration. Fly masks without ear covers are a better choice for horses that are sensitive or anxious about having their ears covered, or for horses in environments where ear coverage causes overheating. Our range at Emmers Equestrian includes both styles across multiple brands, so you can find the right option for your horse's individual preferences.
Do fly masks protect against UV?
Yes, the fine mesh used in quality fly masks provides a meaningful degree of UV protection for the horse's eyes and face. This is particularly valuable for horses with pink or unpigmented skin around the eye area, grey horses, and those prone to eye conditions. Some fly masks also include extended nose covers specifically designed to protect pink or sensitive muzzle skin from both UV exposure and insect attention. If UV protection is a priority for your horse, look for masks with a UV-rated mesh or extended nose coverage, our team can point you to the right options across our range of brands.
Can a horse see properly through a fly mask?
Yes, quality fly masks are designed with a mesh that is fine enough to block insects but open enough to allow the horse clear, unobstructed vision. The mesh is also positioned to sit away from the eye surface, preventing direct contact. Horses typically adapt quickly to wearing a fly mask and show no sign of impaired vision once accustomed to it. Mesh quality varies between brands, premium masks from brands such as LeMieux, Kentucky Horsewear, and Bucas use carefully selected materials that prioritise both visibility and insect protection.
How do I wash a horse fly mask?
Most fly masks can be hand-washed in cool water with a gentle detergent, or machine washed on a delicate cool cycle in a mesh laundry bag to protect the mesh and fastenings. Rinse thoroughly and air dry away from direct heat, do not tumble dry as this can distort the mesh and damage the fastenings. Check the mesh and velcro or clip fastenings for wear before each use. Washing regularly keeps the mesh clean and clear for good visibility and hygiene. Always check the care label on your specific brand and model.
