Your horse suffers from a pathology such as uveitis, ulcer, keratitis, cataract, conjunctivitis, headshaking... and you need to equip it with ophthalmic protection in addition to its veterinary treatment?
He's starting to age, his eyes are more and more often dirty or watery?
Your horse is light-eyed or photosensitive, and is bothered by intense light?
Genetically predisposed to eye pathologies (Appaloosa, Haflinger, Comtois, cream coat breeds).
Do you simply prefer"prevention to cure"?

Premium mask size guide

Using a tape measure (or string, which you can measure later), go around your horse's head as shown in the photo:

Mask size	Head circumference
XS - Shetland	84 cm
S - Pony	90 cm
M - Cob	94 cm
L - Full	100 cm
XL - XFull	110 cm

If your horse's head measurement is between 2 sizes, we recommend taking the nearest larger size.

Size guide - Equivizor masks (Light, Arso, Convalescence models)

For these masks, the main measurement is that of your horse's forehead. To do this, add up 3 measurements:

start at the outer corner of one eye and measure upwards at a slight angle to the middle of the forehead (measurement A),
continue along your horse's forehead (measure B),
finish the measurement by pointing the line slightly downwards to the outer corner of the other eye (measurement C). In this way, you measure the widest part of your horse's forehead.

Add these 3 measurements (A+B+C) to obtain the size of your horse's forehead.

IMPORTANT: do not measure directly from one eye to the other, as this will probably give a measurement that is too small.

S - Pony	22-28 cm
M - Cob	29-33 cm
L - Full	34-37 cm

Take these 3 steps:
