Crusader Pasture Long Nose Fly Mask

Love this mask. Won't buy anything else. Keeps flies off their mouths!

This is my 3rd flymask in the last couple of years. They are great. Protect my Paint's blue eyes and her pink nose. She actually waits for me to put it on. They hold up well under her abuse also. Good price.

I have one of those pigment challenged paint horses. Her face gets sunburned. This mask blocks her entire face from the sun. It does everything it says. It is a very hardy mask. Blocking the UV rays is so very important too. Now I need another one for my black horse who attracks hundreds more flies than the other colored horses

I've been using this fly mask daily on my horse for several years. It's great at protecting his eyes from the flies, and his white nose from the sun. What it needs is better sewing at the seams. Within a few months, it starts to unravel where the mesh is attached to the soft gray material around the edges. It's frustrating to have to buy a new one every few months.

My horse had a cut by the corner of his mouth which got infested with fly larva. It had to be scraped out twice which was a very LARGE vet bill. I couldn't find the size I needed in any of the tack stores so I ordered it through Valley Vet and it really seems to be solving my problem. It does however run very large. I ordered a yearling size for my Arab and it's still a little big. The nose was too long so I had to shorten it by folding it at the bridge of the nose and hand stitching it. I didn't want to send it back and reorder the foal size because he needed the protection ASAP and maybe that size would have been too small (he was right in the middle according to the sizing chart) Any way it's working:)

This mask was perfect for my big quarter horse. It is very high quality with several features that I like about this brand, the pleats to hold the mask away from the eyes, the double Velcro retaining strap and great material, but the best is the long nose that keeps the flies off his nose. The horse flies were so bad biting his nose that blood would be dripping off his nose or he would give you that look with big eyes that he was in trouble and need you to swat one on his nose. They are even washable.

I have a horse with a completely pink muzzle and white face. Every summer, with all the rain here in south Florida, as well as the ever present sunshine, he would get a dry, cracked, caked muzzle from sunburn. With this mask, he has kept a nice soft nose, and he doesn't shy away when I reach out to pet him anymore. That muzzle drops right into my hand! Sweet!

We are in an area with heavy gnats and blackflies. Horses would go crazy without these. We buy new every year because our area has sand burrs, which tear up the masks. They hold up and stay on better than any others we've tried.

I purchased about 3 weeks ago. My mare accepted immediately & it serves the main purpose of sun protection for her sensitive nose. She did not like the Bullfrog I used prior-:)

This mask is necessary for my white faced girl to keep her from getting sun burnt. I go through about one a year. I wish it was a bit softer and a bit shorter. I know it is long but it gets so dirty so quickly on the nose portion.

I bought this mask about a month ago because by boy got sunburned on his nose. I was worried about him eating and/or drinking but the mask does not prevent either. So glad I purchased this ,wish i would have sooner. Thanks

Great Product. My gelding has a white face and this keeps his nose from getting sunburned. He can still eat and has no problems....In fact, he loves it too!

We are a non profit sanctuary in the desert of Southern CA, and we have 3 horses with noses that burn in summer. This prevents sunburn which is my primary concern to avoid skin cancer.....

I have been using these for years and this mask is great protection from flies. I ,also, give it a stellar reviews for the protection it gives my paints faces. No more sunburned area around eyes or noses. I especially like that the long nose piece it is attached I have tried those that Velcro on and they never make it beyond a day and the nose piece comes off.

I've been using the Cashel Crusader Long Nose fly mask for years on my white horse. It's the best for sunburn and fly protection, and it stays on my horse who is a Houdini when it comes to escaping a fly mask. I wouldn't consider using any other fly mask on my horse.

I bought this for my paint who has a blue eye and a pink nose. I liked this one when I saw it because it has the nose piece connected to it. It looks comfortalbe to me because the eye darts look like they won't bother the eyes. It is easy to clean by just rinsing it off. The only reason I am not rating it a 5 is that my paint has gotten it off several days in a row. I need to try putting it tighter to see if that will solve the problem.

Most durable mask on the market. My paint wears his almost year round due to sensitive skin in Arizona sun.  Since he is the most destructive horse this is the only mask I use.  Strands up to many washes.  I even use fabric softener and dry in the dryer.  Worth the price

My horse requires this mask to help prevent a bald spot on his nose from being sunburned as he has had cancer on his mouth. This product helps protect my horse not only from flies but also from the sun. I love how soft it is also. It is cool and durable.

Love the mask. The long nose piece is long enough to be effective against biting flies.
