| If you're looking for a good sturdy well made fly mask, I have to suggest the Pro Force mask by manna pro. And they are much cheaper than the ones I typically buy! I have the farnam masks and cashels.. I needed another for one of my horses and the feed store was sold out of his size in the super mask and the cashel and I needed one right away all they had was these pro force masks available. Much to my surprise when I got home and tried it on him, I was immediately impressed with how nice it was! Very sturdy material and fits better than anything I've ever tried I'm buying the other 2 horses a pro force now. I just wanted to share with yall on here. I enjoy sharing things I find that I really like, especially if it saves a few $$!  |

In my opinion, NO! I've tried them all. I can honestly say these pro force masks are the best ive seen. Not flimsy, and fit perfectly. I even had a coupon from farnam for $2 off a super mask and the PF was still cheaper. |

       Location: North Dakota | I tried one of the new Professional Choice comfort fit Lyrca fly masks for one of my horses who get really, really bothered by the ear gnats. I love it. It's the only fly mask I've tried that actually stays on he loves. Instantly stops his head shaking. I ordered more for the rest of my herd! |

| In my stalls, the old horse that's in the middle, almost always has his mask taken off by the horse on either side of him! I'd find it in one stall one day and then the other the next. Of course hes the one that gets the worse of the runny eyes... my next barn is going to have some separation other than pipes lol! Anyway, they haven't gotten this one off him ... yet! I only leave them on when they are stalled during the day, they get cut loose at night in the pasture. |

      Location: Texas | I love these as well. They also make some with reflectors on the nose which are nice when doing a headcount in the dark. |

| I decided to give the Pro Force fly spray a go too. I always used Tri Tech or Absorbine or Piranha, B free of flies ... but I'm really trying to save some money lately! This stuff works GREAT! If not better than the more expensive stuff. Be warned tho, it doesn't smell that great ... its actually kinda off putting to be honest but it works! Horses dont seem to mind the odor lol! I got it for under $15 at TSC they also have the gallon jug of it for around $34. Last time I bought a gallon refill of Tri Tech it was $75 |
