I have a grey medium pony mare with pink rimmed eyes and a pinkish nose. I need a fly mask and fly sheet(with neck) for her. Size 69, marish colors would be nice. Medium/Large Pony fly mask and budget for the fly sheet is is $90 and the fly mask is $50, total of $140 USD. One week standard shipping for the site would be great! |

I have 2 paints, one who is mainly white (on his face especially) and gets sunburnt super easily. Kensington products are out of your budget I believe, but are definitely worth it. Both of my fly sheets have lifetime waranties, and I haven't had any issues with sunburn since I started using them. My vet also recommended using sunscreen (that is safe for them of course) on the nose, etc., mine have a fly mask that cover the nose for that aswell. I used to have this one though, and it's right in your budget actually.

Sorry, the max for the fly sheet is $90 and for the fly mask is $50. So $140 total. |

Found this one with your pony's size! 69 can be hard to find, and this one's on sale. It's out of your "fly sheet" budget, but you could put some of your mask money towards it and then find a cheaper mask, since they're generally not $50. Depending on where you live, keep an eye on her when she's wearing a fly sheet. They can overheat in them. We generally just try to keep out sun-sensitive horses inside during the day and out at night when it's cooler, but I understand that's not possible for everybody's situation. |

The fly mask has 70% UV protection and the flysheet has 90%. The higher the protection, the less likely you'll have sunburn. I have used Crusader fly masks for years, they are very durable fly maks with lots of options (ears, no ears, nose cover, no nose cover, etc). I haven't used the fly sheet personally, generally I think fly sheets are hot for horses so I tend to let them do their thing as horses and keep them in the shade during the day as much as possible. BUT with that said WeatherBeeta is a good brand that I've used in the past, plus 90% UV protection is awesome. AND final note, under budget AND from a website that has awesome customer service and returns :) |

I would suggest size 66 for the fly sheet, if the pony is a big medium/small large because fly sheets always run huge. These two products would look great on a mare, are in budget, and I use them on my grey pony mare. |

I’m in MN right now, and the barn I’m in doesn’t really have AC, so it’s normally cooler outside. lol, only the lounge, tack areas and arena have it |

Thank you all! I just got back from seeing my pony, and I think I’ve made a decision, I really like the SmartPak fly sheets and masks, so I’m going to try those. |
