    "Can a horse wear a fly mask during an adaptive riding lesson?"- Ask an Adaptive/Therapeutic Horseback Riding Instructor (#9)

    "Can a horse wear a fly mask during an adaptive riding lesson?"- Ask an Adaptive/Therapeutic Horseback Riding Instructor (#9)

    Ask an Adaptive Riding Instructor is a mini-series answering questions submitted from instructors all over the globe!

    In this episode I answer the question: "Can a horse wear a fly mask during an adaptive riding lesson?" 

    While answering the question I'll talk about:


    Safety considerations when an equine wears a fly mask during a lesson. 
    My preferred "layering" of the fly mask with other equipment. 
    Important actions and thoughts to take before deciding if a horse wears a fly mask during class 
    Is a fly mask a good fit for every horse? 
    Are there any standards that say horses can/can’t wear fly masks during lessons?  

    For more EAAT Instructor resources and education visit HoofFallsandFootfalls.com OR IntuitiveInstructorClub.com
