This message is from: "B. Hendricks" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Hi! I've used the fly masks with great results. The horses seem to love them and understand also. They can see well with the masks on, and their eyes are free of pesky flies. They last a long time, too, unless a colt with nothing better to do decides to eat Mom's. Bonnie
