This mask is the first in the industry to offer a reflective feature for use at night and is now available with and without ears. Also new, is the Insect Shield® Repellent Gear from Opti-Force®  in an extra-large size that features a contoured fit and even more room around the eyes to fit a variety of horses.

“Adding these two new masks reflects our goal of providing a full range of solutions to keep horses free of bothersome, biting flies and other pests,” said Libby Wilson, Senior Brand Manager-Equine, at Manna Pro.

“Many of us at Manna Pro are horse owners and we know how uncomfortable horses can be during fly season. We also frequently talk to consumers about what they want in a fly control product, and we use that feedback to develop new products and enhance existing ones.”

Using the Pro-Force Equine Fly Mask with Equi-Glo™ Nite Reflector makes horses more visible to owners, drivers and hunters from dusk to dawn, providing a safer environment. The mask is designed to keep flies and insects away, and provides protection from harmful UV rays.

It features a comfortable fit with an adjustable, double-locking fastener and a Quick-Catch lead line loop. A name tag allows an owner to personalize the mask. The Pro-Force mask now comes with and without ears and fits horses from 900 to 1,200 pounds.

Manna Pro’s Insect Shield® Repellent Gear from Opti-Force® Equine Fly Mask provides built-in, invisible, odorless insect repellent and protection. It repels mosquitoes, ticks, flies, and fleas, including insects that cause Lyme disease and West Nile.

The comfortable design keeps the mask off the face and away from the eyes of the horse. It’s designed to last with a secure fit and strong, Clear View Vision mesh. This mask is now available in two sizes: the original fits horses from 900 to 1,200 pounds and the new extra-large is ideal for Warmbloods and larger breeds.

In addition to masks, Manna Pro’s Force Fly Control product line includes three different spray formulas, as well premise protection.

The Force Fly products can be found in chain retail stores and independent feed stores.  Visit MannaPro.com/where-to-buy for dealer locations. The products can also be purchased online. Consumers can find more information and money-saving offers at mannapro.com/forceflycontrol.
