Whit and Buckshot (the 2 horses on the farm) are sporting a "shimmer weave" fly mask.......these masks are supposed to blend in and reflect the horse's natural color instead of looking like a Halloween mask. I didn't choose them for that reason, I chose them because they were $1.00 cheaper.
Whitt posed for a Hollywood moment to let me take a picture of his mask.

The flies still get around the lower edges of the mask but at least they aren't crawling around in their eyes!
Buckshot refused to have his picture made and I figured everyone knows what a horse's butt looks like!
Happy weekend!

I once had a miniature horse that hurt her eye. Taking advice from an internet friend, I put a bra on her since ordering a mini fly mask would take time. We got a phone call from the neighbors, "offended" that their little girls could see our horse running around with a bra on her head.
