Cashel Quiet Ride Long Nose Horse Fly Mask (QRHL), Black

I ordered two of these and should've gotten a cob size for my sr gelding, but the horse size still fits, it's just a tad long in the nose section. These are great for keeping flies away, easy on and off. I keep them on my horses while pastured and they hold up very well. I like that you can see their eyes through the mesh, so I know they have good vision looking through them. These are my second set of having this brand (my other set doesn't have the nose covering) and they are very well made and well worth the money. My first set are 3 yrs old and still in excellent working order, only the name brand tag is coming off.

My favorite. Keeps flies off noses and is surprisingly sturdy. I use it as a regular fly mask and leave it on my outdoor horses. I love that I can see their eyes through it.

Does the job. Makes my horse more comfortable. Much less head shaking.

In my fly and mosquito infected area of the world, I never ride without my Quiet Ride. It is not sturdy enough to be used as a pasture mask, but does its job as a riding mask perfectly. The finer mesh allows very good vision to the horse while keeping mosquitos out.

My horse has a white nose and requires sunscreen to prevent nasty burns. However, she has a lot of problems with head touching so flymasks have also been my go to. I have used many many different types of flymasks, but this one is the best one. Even though it is a lot clearer, there are no burns on her nose (or her eye, which tends to get very red too). However, this product is not REALLY a flymask. The heavy duty version that Cashel also produces works great - except she loves to take it off (somehow) and enjoys me huffing and puffing around her field to try and find the thing. However, the other Cashel does not rip as easy. This one does. I gave this product 3/4 stars because I understand it is not meant to be heavy duty, and not suppose to withstand the wear and tear of my horse wearing it every day for the whole summer. However, with that being said, I had accidentally gotten this Cashel Quiet Ride about a year ago and decided to just give it a go and was very pleasantly surprised when it worked just as well as the heavy duty Cashel Fly mask PLUS she never took it off! (It might be because its softer and more see through? No clue). It lasted all last summer with a small rip in it so I wasn't too surprised when this summer came around and she ripped it within the first week. It was old, it was worn, I was okay. So I bought another one. The new one lasted a week. I was severely disappointed. I do not understand how the previous one had lasted months yet this one barely stands up to my expectations. I'm kinda upset since it costs a quite a bit of money (plus the Quiet Rides with the nose piece are not sold in stores around me and therefore must wait days for it to arrive). I do recommend it, but ... just be warned. It's flimsy, and it's meant to be.

I have a bug sensitive AQHA buckskin gelding who developed an annoying head tossing over worry about the possibility a fly might land on his nose. This is so annoying when riding as it seems to be the only thing he stays focused on is tossing his head on the trail. This mask has made him so comfortable and very happy Cashel makes these for horses like him. I purchased the "horse" size for my horse and fits him perfect. Extremely well made and worth the price. It is light weight, very breathable, and does not interfere at all with his sight or his bridle. The pleating in this mask keeps the mask off the horses eyes. We wont leave home without it!

I was pleasantly surprised at how well this fits my horse--he has a big head and I was worried about that. It looks nice, too. I put it on my horse and went home, and then read the packaging again. I was chagrinned to see that it says "For riding ONLY." I didn't notice that in the online description. The next day, as I drove up to my horse's pasture, I noticed that there were many flies on the nose-part of his mask. I inspected it closely, and found that they were trying to get at the parts by each nostril where he snorts and there was moisture stuck there because of the fine mesh. There was also already some little rips about the size of a pencil eraser. So, I have to put this mask on only as necessary, and it might not last very long, the way it's going now.

It's good to see where he is looking when we're in the forest. Light and effective.

Fantastic product - used in paddock for my Paintbred Yearling filly with white face - light and comfortable - she never rolled it off in the paddock. Very happy with the product
