Thank goodness for fly masks! š“
Iām often asked why the ponies wear those āthings over their eyesā, so hereās why:
Fly masks help protect a ponyās eyes, face and sometimes ears from biting insects such as flies and midges. Theyāre made from a fine mesh that allows the pony to see clearly while creating a protective barrier against pests.
They help reduce irritation and discomfort from flies around the eyes, prevent eye injuries and infections caused by rubbing or insect bites, protect sensitive ponies from sunlight when UV-blocking materials are used, and allow them to graze and move normally while staying comfortable outdoors.
I choose Equilibrium Products fly masks and, considering how many brands Iāve tried over the years, these are by far THE BEST for little heads. Despite covering their eyes, properly fitted fly masks do not obstruct vision and are designed to be safe, breathable and comfortable.
Unfortunately, because they are worn so often and exposed to the elements, they do show signs of wear and tear over time.
For those lovely people who often ask what they can buy for the D***s, new fly masks would make the perfect gift! Iāll share a link to the Country & Stable of Olney Limited wishlist below.
If youāre choosing a fly mask for a D**k (a huge thank you! ā¤ļø), their size is XXS.
