It’s fly mask season! In fact, some horses require fly masks all year round to protect their eyes and skin from the sun. So many horses in Colorado are relinquished to horse rescues with eye problems as the sun is so strong here. Protect your horse’s eyes 🙏💙🐴

Hot weather puts horses at risk not only for dehydration and heat stress but, just like humans, the skin damage and discomfort that accompany a sunburn. Horse prone to sunburn are also at a higher risk for a cancer called squamous cell carcinoma (SCC) which is associated with UV light exposure.

If your horse has reduced pigmentation (pink eyelids or pink tissue) around the eye, be sure to use a fly mask with greater than 90% UV light protection. Many of these masks are not sold at your local tack store but can be purchased online. If a mask advertises UV light protection but does not specify the amount, contact the company that makes the mask to get a definitive answer.
