New Helios mask, therapy or wellness, the perfect combination of comfort and effectiveness to protect your horse's eyes.

The Helios mask features UV-protective fabric (90%) and also protects against wind, hay, and of course insects. It is extremely comfortable thanks to the thick fleece lining all areas in contact with the horse's skin. Its semi-rigid headband keeps the fabric away from the eyes, and the fabric of the hood allows air to circulate, which is essential during the summer months. It is also available in a version without ear flaps. It features a double closure system with Velcro and buckles.

Since horses' eyes are located on the sides of their heads, the area around the muzzle does not fall within their field of vision. The black band along the muzzle has no impact on their field of vision, which is mainly lateral and rearward.

The Helios mask is the perfect complement to veterinary treatment for horses suffering from ophthalmological conditions such as uveitis, ulcers, conjunctivitis, keratitis, cataracts, etc. Its long removable nose cover also provides relief for some horses suffering from headshaking,protects horses with light-colored skin, andprevents discomfort caused by insects.

Completely flexible, it can be worn permanently and safely by any horse, in the pasture or in the stall. It can also be used for flatwork, but given its opacity, we do not recommend using it for jumping; for these disciplines, we recommend equigoogs.

Specific features of the Helios mask

  • Airy fabric between the ears and above the eyes,
  • Hoop to keep the fabric away from the eyes,
  • 90% UV-protective micro-perforated fabric to protect the eyes and nose,
  • Velcro closure at the underbust + strap and safety buckle 
  • Fleece lining on all parts in contact with the horse's skin,
  • Soft Lycra for earmuffs.

Please note:

If you have taken out insurance covering your horse's veterinary expenses, the purchase of eye protection required in the event of an accident or the treatment of an ophthalmic condition may be covered in whole or in part by your insurance company. If this is the case, and subject to its terms and conditions and the policy taken out, it will require the products to be prescribed by your veterinarian on the prescription they give you.

Horses are not designed to wear masks!
Check at least once a day that the mask has not moved and that your horse is comfortable wearing it. We take the utmost care in manufacturing our products and selecting our materials, but every horse is different and it is your responsibility to check that the equipment you have chosen (model + size) provides the necessary protection for your horse's eyes.

What size should I choose for my Equidiva mask/hat?

All measurements are approximate and are provided for informational purposes only.

Size guide - Premium or Helios mask

Using a tape measure (or a piece of string that you will measure afterwards), measure 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 falls between two sizes, we recommend choosing the larger of the two.



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

For these masks, the main measurement is the width of your horse's forehead. To do this, you need to add together three measurements:

  1. Start at the outer corner of one eye and measure upwards at a slight angle to the middle of the forehead (measurement A).
  2. continue along the front of your horse(measurement B),
  3. Finish the measurement by directing the line slightly downward to the outer corner of the other eye (measurement C). This way, you will 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 likely result in an inaccurate measurement.
