As with every
product that Charlies Products stock, I have tried and tested
the products on my own horses. In 2003/2004 I bought 2 - 3 fly
cheap fly masks per horse. The Welsh section A got them off in
a nano second, the Welsh section D was irritated by the material
touching his eyes and the Irish Draught kept walking into things
as the mesh was not clear enough. The result was that they rubbed
the fly masks off, and trashed them!
Not
so with the Cashel Crusader masks. They are a stiff but
flexible material that protrudes clear of the eyes. The edge of
the fly mask is lined with a soft material, and the throat fastener
is also soft and has a nice thick width. This avoids the hassle
of breaking ties, and it is very comfortable for the horse.
As I visit
my own clients, I now check to see which fly masks their horses
wear and am delighted to see that many wear the Cashel Crusader,
and they highly recommend them as the best fly mask they have
ever purchased.
The long nose model is particularly useful for those of us who
have horses with pink noses. Many are not lucky enough to have
their horses at home, and as a sun block needs to be applied every
few hours, many horses end up with sore and scabby noses. The
long nose version of the Cashel Crusader fly mask assists in this
problem - it certainly has for my little pink nosed section A
pony.
