Noble Outfitters Guardsman Fly Mask Giveaway!

I've always really liked a particular fly mask, and both Riley and Harvey wore the Rambo fly mask. Years ago Harv scratched his eye on a too-small mask, and I liked that it had a stiff plastic piece that makes the area around the eyes stand away from the horse's face. It's lasted pretty well but last year, I noticed the stiff plastic had broken free of the fabric and poked out  -- dangerous. So, in the garbage it went.

This year Noble Outfitters kindly sent me one of their new flymasks to try -- the Guardsman®-- as well as one to give away! It comes with a detachable nose cover, and with and without ear cover, in gold or black. 

See Riley modeling this size Large mask. I do really like this fly mask. And here is why:

• It feels really sturdy, but not too stiff. There is a brow seam "flex spine technology" that creates a canopy to keep the fabric away from the horse's eyes.
• The mesh is UV-coated. I know some horses need this. 
• The fit is really nice -- no gaps anywhere -- it looks like it's custom made, and it makes it less likely that flies can enter the mask.
• the ears are not too short! Riley has long ears and they fit comfortably.
• I love the "ID card" on the velcro strap!
• The nose cover is detachable.
• A loop at the top of the mask makes it easy to hang.
• A very detailed size chart to select the right size mask (range, small to XXL). Riley is a Large, or warmblood.
• At $24.95, this is reasonably priced! The Rambo flymasks were a third again as much.

I was really pleasantly surprised by the fit and quality, as well as the "little touches" that make it safe and versatile. 

I have a LARGE gold flymask for giveaway -- it fits Ri great, so I'm thinking it will fit a warmblood best.  To enter just leave a comment with something about your horse and contact info. Thanks!
