- 🐴 FINE-MESH FLY BARRIER: The translucent mesh helps reduce contact from flies and other flying insects while allowing the horse to maintain visibility during turnout.
- 👁️ STRUCTURED 3D EYE SPACE: The shaped visor is designed to stand away from the eyes and eyelashes, helping reduce direct mesh contact while the horse moves.
- 👂 SOFT EAR COVERS: Lightweight mesh covers the ears while allowing natural ear movement and airflow. This selected model includes ear protection but does not include a nose extension.
- ☀️ ADVERTISED 70% UV PROTECTION: The manufacturer states that the thicker fine mesh blocks approximately 70% of UV exposure while retaining visibility and ventilation.
- 🖤 COB SIZE IN BLACK: Designed for Cob-size horses and supplied in black. Measure the horse and compare the results with the manufacturer’s current chart before ordering.
T TEKE Fine Mesh Horse Fly Mask with Ears
The T TEKE horse fly mask combines translucent fine mesh, soft ear covers and a structured eye area to support everyday comfort during fly season. The selected black Cob-size version covers the face and ears while leaving the nose uncovered.
Extra fleece cushioning across the forehead creates a softer contact area, while the shaped visor helps maintain clearance around the eyes.
Fine Mesh for Insect Protection
The mesh forms a physical barrier that helps discourage flies, gnats and other airborne insects from landing directly around the horse’s eyes, forehead and ears.
No fly mask can prevent every insect from reaching the horse. Effectiveness depends on correct fit, the horse’s behaviour, local insect pressure and the condition of the mesh.
Translucent Visibility
The fine mesh is designed to allow outward visibility while the horse is moving, grazing or resting. Check the mask regularly because accumulated dust, mud or damage can reduce visibility.
Remove the mask immediately if the horse appears disoriented or distressed.
Structured 3D Eye Visor
The contoured face panel creates space around the eyes and eyelashes. Proper eye clearance is important because collapsed or incorrectly fitted mesh can rub sensitive areas.
The mask should remain away from both eyes when the horse lowers its head, moves the ears or rubs against an object.
Extra Fleece Forehead Cushion
Fleece padding around the forehead helps soften the points where the mask contacts the horse’s face. Inspect these areas regularly for trapped dirt, moisture, rubbing or hair loss.
Fleece should be kept clean and dry to maintain comfort.
Breathable Ear Covers
Soft mesh ear sections help protect the ears from flying insects while allowing airflow and natural movement. Ear covers should sit comfortably without folding, twisting or pulling against the base of the ears.
This variation includes ears but does not include the extended nose-cover panel shown on other T TEKE models.
UV-Blocking Mesh
The manufacturer advertises approximately 70% UV protection from the thicker fine-mesh construction. This may help reduce direct sunlight exposure to covered areas of the face.
UV Protection Limitations
The mask does not cover the horse’s entire head or body and should not be treated as complete sun protection. UV performance can also be affected by wear, stretching, dirt and damage.
Horses with photosensitivity, eye disease or medically sensitive skin should be managed according to veterinary advice.
Choosing the Cob Size
Measuring for the Correct Fit
Horse height or breed can provide only a general size estimate. Face length, jaw width and head shape vary considerably between individual horses.
Before ordering:
- Measure the horse’s face according to the manufacturer’s current size chart.
- Compare the measurements with the Cob-size specifications.
- Check the space around the eyes, jaw and ears after fitting.
- Confirm that the closure is secure without being overly tight.
- Observe the horse during movement before extended turnout.
Signs of a Correct Fit
- The mesh remains clear of both eyes and eyelashes.
- Ear covers are upright without pulling.
- The lower edge does not restrict chewing or jaw movement.
- The mask cannot rotate easily across the face.
- Padding lies flat without creating pressure points.
- The closure is secure but does not pinch the skin.

Cleaning and Maintenance
Routine Cleaning
Remove loose dirt and hair with a soft brush. Hand-wash the mask in cool or lukewarm water with a mild, horse-safe detergent unless the current care label provides different instructions.
Rinse thoroughly and allow the mask to air-dry completely. Avoid bleach, strong chemicals and high dryer heat, which may damage the mesh, fleece or fastening components.
Inspection Checklist
Check the mask before each use for:
- Torn or stretched mesh
- Collapsed eye structure
- Damaged ear covers
- Worn fleece padding
- Loose seams
- Weak or contaminated fasteners
- Sharp edges or embedded debris
- Reduced visibility through the mesh
Replace the mask if damage affects its fit, visibility or eye clearance.
Horse Safety Information
- Introduce the mask gradually before leaving it on for extended periods.
- Confirm clear space around both eyes and eyelashes.
- Check the fit at least once daily during turnout.
- Remove mud, seeds and debris promptly.
- Do not place the mask over an untreated eye injury.
- Remove it if the horse develops rubbing, swelling or hair loss.
- Avoid leaving the mask wet against the horse’s skin.
- Make sure pasture fencing and equipment do not create snagging hazards.
- Remove the mask if it rotates, collapses or obstructs vision.
- Consult a veterinarian for persistent eye discharge, swelling, light sensitivity or suspected injury.
This fly mask can support insect and sunlight management, but it does not replace routine observation, environmental fly control or veterinary care.
