In summer, flying insects can quickly become a nuisance for horses. Flies in particular tend to land or even lay eggs around the horse's eyes.
In some sensitive horses, this can even lead to severe conjunctivitis.
In the ears too, midges can be very disturbing for the horse.
They can be seen frequently shaking their heads to get rid of it. The scabs often seen in horses' ears, usually wrongly attributed to fungus, are usually caused by hypersensitivity to insect bites.
The sun, dust and wind are also aggressive to horses' eyes, which can lead to conjunctivitis and especially uveitis.
SUPERMASK effectively protects your horse's eyes from insects (available without built-in ears). It also provides effective protection against the sun's rays and dust.
How does it work?
SUPERMASK is also available without ears for horses that don't tolerate it well.
It is designed :
A very fine protective mesh around the horse's eyes, which doesn't interfere with vision but is highly resistant to tearing.
A soft synthetic fur edge, to avoid injuring the horse.
An adjustable flap with Velcro fastening for perfect adaptation to the horse's head.
