How do I care for my Bugeye fly mask?
To maintain the life of the product, we recommend washing your Bugeye once a week or twice a week in harsh conditions. Please follow the below care instructions:
– Cold, hand wash with a gentle detergent that is compatible with your horses skin
– Do not bleach, soak, wring or tumble dry
– Do not iron or dry clean.How do I put my Bugeye on my horse?
First, ensure you have pushed the eye mesh out into a nice sphere/bubble shape. Then simply pull on over their nose – the four way stretch spandex will stretch as you pull on your fly mask.
Lastly, adjust the elastic around the gullet as needed.Are your fly veils hot? Will they make my horse sweat?
No, our spandex (also known by the brand name Lycra) Bugeye fly masks will add no significant heat to your horse.
