How can I prevent the mask from hurting my horse?

November 28, 2022

Does your horse have to wear a mask for a long time, and you're worried (and rightly so) that it might hurt? Here's our advice on how to limit chafing and irritation.

Best practices to prevent the mask from irritating your horse's skin:

  • choose the right mask size and adjust it properly,
  • impeccable hygiene (especially no mud between skin and fasteners),
  • rotate between two mask models (slightly different supports),
  • if the horse's pathology permits, remove the mask at night,
  • use soothing, healing creams/sprays (where appropriate).
