Written by guest Pearl Bensimoun As equestrians, we all are familiar with the struggle of trying to find a fly mask that protects against flys and infections, but also is durable and has UV protections. Luckily enough, Prestige Masks has all of the above integrated into their amazing collection of fly masks. In addition to all of these features, it is the longest lasting horse fly mask on the market. Prestige Masks are also veterinarian approved and handcrafted in the USA. The durability of these masks is honestly amazing. My horse usually tears or somehow breaks his fly masks within days of getting a new one, not with Prestige Masks though! He, surprisingly enough, has not been able to tear this fly mask whatsoever. Besides the dirt on it(which can be washed off in the machine), this mask looks as good as new still. You can definitely be confident when buying a Prestige Mask, as they come with a two year warranty and have reports of fly masks lasting two to three years. Prestige Masks are available in a wide variety of different sizes to make sure it is a perfect fit for your horse! My Selle Français fits into a large wide with comfort room. The masks also have three adjustable fastenings to make it even more comparable for your horse, rather than just one. What I find very unique about Prestige fly masks is that they feature several "patches" to protect your horse. There is a forehead patch which works as a visor almost. There are also side patches that protect your horses eyes against dust and bacteria. My horse is prone to eye infections, but they have significantly reduced his infections in just a little under a week. Of course, Prestige fly masks works very well against annoying flys. All in all, Prestige Masks are the best quality fly masks I have ever come across. I highly recommend purchasing a fly mask from Prestige Masks. I found that their sizing runs very "true to size", but has a handy measuring guide so you can easily size your horse. Be sure to give them a follow on Instagram @prestige_masks, and check out their website here.

Brandywine is one of my all time favorite horse shows. It's in Devon, Pennsylvania in July. The show is on the same show grounds as Devon so it's very nostalgic going back and seeing all the iconic parts of Devon. There are several weekends you can show at Brandywine, my barn decided to go on the 4th of July, which made it twice as much fun. Spending a holiday with my best friends was the best part of the summer! I showed in the small and medium pony hunter and the day before they had a huge celebration with fire works, volleyball and pizza. It was such blast, we went foot jumping and layed in the ring to watch the fireworks. After a late night swim we had to go to bed and prepare for an early rise the next morning. I woke up at around 5:30, got a cup of coffee and headed to the show grounds to hack in the ring. Both ponies were perfect so we watched a few trips and went to get ready for the small ponies. My small was amazing and our trips were very so good, I was so proud! We wound up jogging in good places and my medium did really well in the handy! For the rest of the day my friends and I wondered around and looked at pictures and drank slushies. The one thing that really stood out for me was when I went on the ferris wheel with my friend. We were the only two people on the ride and we shook the carts really hard until we reached the top. I could see the whole show grounds from the lemonade stand to the dixon oval, it was such an amazing sight. There was a big International Derby later on that night so all the girls from my barn went to the hotel and showered then picked up Chipotle. We ate and laughed and watched the derby, that day was one of the best days of my life and I'll never forget it. The next day we woke up at the same time and the ponies were even better! My medium wound up placing 3rd in the classic and my small did really well too!! As we said goodbye to our last couple of hours in our favorite horse show, we watched the juniors hunter go and ate fries. It was the most memorable weekend I've had in a long time and I can't wait for this July when I can show my large green! |
