Reliable Fly Protection for Foals and Miniature Horses
The Cashel Crusader Foal/Mini Fly Mask is designed to protect the sensitive areas around your young or miniature horse’s eyes and forehead. Its coated nylon micro-mesh provides a lightweight physical barrier against flies while blocking 70% of UV rays.
The XX-Small size and lightweight construction make it a practical option for daily use during fly season, whether your horse is resting in the stable or spending time outdoors.
Soft and Breathable Micro-Mesh
The mask is constructed from soft coated nylon micro-mesh that supports airflow while maintaining its protective shape. The breathable material helps keep the face covered without using a heavy or bulky fabric.
Its structured design also creates space around the eye area, helping prevent the mesh from resting directly against the eyes when correctly fitted.
70% UV-Blocking Fabric
The micro-mesh blocks 70% of UV rays, providing additional coverage for the sensitive tissues around the eyes and forehead.
This product provides partial UV protection and should not be considered a substitute for veterinary treatment or professional sun-protection advice.
Patented Forelock-Friendly Construction
The Crusader design features a patented cap system intended to keep the forelock away from the horse’s eyes. This helps reduce hair tangling and allows the mask to sit more comfortably around the upper face.
Suitable for Stable and Pasture Use
The secure fit is designed to help the mask remain in position during routine movement. It may be used during supervised stable time or turnout when environmental conditions are appropriate.

Fit and Use Guidance
Choosing the Correct Size
Measure your horse and compare the result with the manufacturer’s sizing information before ordering. The mask should remain secure without restricting chewing, blinking or normal jaw movement.
Checking the Fit
After fitting the mask:
- Confirm that the mesh does not touch the eyes or eyelashes.
- Ensure the fastening is secure but not excessively tight.
- Check that your horse can move its ears, jaw and head normally.
- Inspect the skin regularly for rubbing, pressure or irritation.
Cleaning and Care
Remove loose dirt with a soft brush after use. Hand wash the mask in cool water with mild detergent, rinse thoroughly and allow it to air dry completely before refitting.
Close the fastener before washing to help prevent it from catching on the mesh. Do not use bleach or place the mask near direct heat unless otherwise specified by the manufacturer.
Important Safety Information
This mask is intended as a physical barrier against flies and provides partial UV coverage; it does not offer complete protection from insects, sunlight or eye conditions.
Inspect the mask before every use. Discontinue use if the mesh, seams or fastener become damaged. Do not leave the mask on an unattended horse until you have confirmed that it fits correctly and remains secure during normal movement.
Consult an equine veterinarian if your horse has an existing eye condition, facial injury, skin sensitivity or unusual reaction while wearing the mask.
