At first I was pleased to hear the soft, skin-friendly material. When I put on my 12 yrs gelding who Flymask was after about 2 hrs. In the paddock. So I did it again tightened and a halter about pulled to guarantee better grip. Result ... The Fly veil hung after a short time at an angle over his head, an ear had slipped and the horse walked around with a semi-drooping mask. All I ca practiced for 3 days. I then decided that it was probably the wrong size for this horse is (COB and Rashid is whole blood). So I've put a young gelding with a slightly larger head, it sat close and I thought ... this is the solution. Also a halter slips on and checked in a few hours .... The Fly veil has only one ear protection and the seam between the soft material and the slightly firmer, which is above the viewing area, is torn. This mask appears to be not made for the coupling and herding. Maybe if horses stand alone in the paddock and not schuppern each other or frequently roll ... I have no recommendation!
