My Belgian draft mare cleans it herself. First, she manages to take it off, then she chews it up until it can’t be used again, and lastly, she drops it in her water trough for a good cleaning. LOL.

I swap out 3-4 fly masks per horse and wash the used ones weekly. That way there is always a clean one to to use.
