The Crusader mask discourages flies from landing on the nose and irritating your horse, while its 70% UV protection helps shield sensitive areas from sun exposure and may assist with Head Shaking Syndrome symptoms. The combination of eye darts and a three-hole ear/forelock cap delivers a secure, close fit that minimises gaps where flies can crawl inside. Lightweight plastic-coated mesh offers durability without excessive heat or glare, making turnout and riding more comfortable. This design is particularly beneficial for light-coloured coats where sun exposure is a concern, and its hand-made construction ensures a tailored, reliable fit that lasts season after season.
