CashelCrusader Mule Fly Mask, Standard with Ears (Grey, Mule Weanling)

I had to find a new fly mask for my horse as she kept rubbing off the lycra stretchy masks about every day. After reading many good reviews I decided to give this one a go. I was a little worried about the sizing because there seems to be mixed reviews of runs big and true to size so I sized down to be safe. I went with the small horse/ Arabian size and it fits great for my senior OTTB on the smaller size. The Velcro strap isn’t super long so sizing down might not work for every horse. Hopefully this masks holds up for all the rubbing she likes to do. Plus side is it’s a bright color so easier to find in a large pasture with some tall grass.

Well made.

I have tried other brands of fly masks over the years, either because of sale price or interesting style - but I ALWAYS return to Cashel Crusader. I buy the version with ear protection as the black flies and gnats will chew their ears up otherwise. I so appreciated Cashel’s inclusion of extra long ears for mules and donkeys when I had min donkeys. The length of the long nose fits both my Horse size QH and Cob size SSH. I keep two long-nosed/ear versions per horse so they always have a clean one, and each horse also has a short version to wear under their grazing muzzles. The forelock opening is much appreciated for the SSH’s long forelock. I appreciate that the velcro strap is scored as it reinforces the cut made when shortening to fit. Extremely durable, washes clean, and fitted design keeps mask away from eye area. I also appreciate that they have begun offering colors and patterns which make it so much easier to spot a discarded fly mask out in the pasture. Very thoughtfully designed and executed. Only suggestion would be to offer a version with added sun protection for horses with light-colored and/or sensitive eyes.

Fits well over the nose to prevent sunburn. Big enough to clear the eyes. She accepts putting it on willingly.

Great fly mask , I wish they had the long nose in stock as it works better , but this will have to do . The flies in Massachusetts are the size of hummingbirds honestly and ripping my boy apart ! Great quality ! A bit pricey however for what it is .

This is a well made product. I bought a Cobb size and it is huge. Going one size down and hoping it fits better.

Best widely available fly mask I’ve come across. Generally last a summer or two. My Arab has a big head for an Arab and wears a normal horse size (tightly velcroed on). Would love an in between size but it works well enough. Easy to put on and off. Generally the other horses don’t take it off of him. Decently heavy weight for surviving horseplay.

Keeps all pests off my horse's eyes, even tiny gnats. Never rubs my horse's fur off like cheap masks and it actually stays on.The velcro is very high quality and sticks well!The last one of these I had lasted almost 10 years, so I can tell you that these are worth paying for, unlike cheap fly masks that my horse would pull off and shred within months.My mare is a 900lb morgan and the arabian size fits perfectly!The best thing about this hot pink is if my horse's mask falls off it's easy to see/find! (The previous design (which I owned for 10 yrs as previously stated) was a light blush pink and it definitely blended in more and was harder to find in the field)

Best fly masks I’ve tried

Fits my quarter horse perfectly. Keeps flies off his face & nose yet allows him to graze easily. The mask is very easy to wash and dries quickly.

I love this fly mask, not only is the colour beautiful, but it’s great quality and super light.

Really like this fly mask. Wish Amazon had it available in sizing for Arab horse.

It's too big.
