<P> A fly mask or fly cap is a mask used on horses to cover the eyes , jaw , and sometimes the ears and muzzle to protect from flies . The mask is semi-transparent and made from a mesh allowing the horse to see and hear while wearing it . The mask may also provide some protection from UV - light and some are treated with insect repellent . Fly and mosquito protection is an important part of overall horse care , as biting insects are both a source of irritation and also may transmit disease . </P>
