Fly Masks for Shetland Ponies and Mini Ponies

A fly mask is an indispensable accessory during the summer months. While standard fly masks are often too large, these masks have an adapted fit that perfectly suits the small head of a Shetland pony or mini horse. This prevents the mask from slipping or chafing, and ensures optimal comfort.

Benefits of a Fly Mask for Shetland Ponies

  • Protection against insects: keeps flies, gnats, and horseflies away from eyes, ears, and nose.
  • UV-protective: many models protect the sensitive skin and eyes from solar radiation.
  • Breathable & lightweight: made from fine mesh that allows air through yet keeps insects out.
  • Comfortable finish: often equipped with soft fleece edges to prevent chafing.
  • Good fit: specifically tailored for ponies and minis, so the mask is not too loose.

Different Versions

  • With ears: for sensitive ponies that need extra protection around the ears.
  • Without ears: for more freedom and ventilation.
  • With nose flap: also protects the nose from insects and sun.

When to Choose a Fly Mask for Your Shetland Pony?

  • During warm summer days with many insects.
  • For sensitive ponies that quickly suffer from watery eyes or skin irritation.
  • For ponies with light skin, who need extra UV protection.
