The Hidez Compression Mask applies gentle, consistent pressure to the acupressure points, TMJ, and endorphin release points in your horse's head and poll. The result? A calmer, more focused horse — whether you're warming up, hauling to a show, or working through a training challenge. Riders report that anxious horses settle within minutes of putting the mask on. Horses that spook at the gate relax through the entrance. Off-the-track Thoroughbreds stop rushing and start listening.This is not a sedative. It's compression — the same science used in human athletic recovery, adapted for horses by equine experts in Australia. Available in 16 standard colors and prints.

SIZING FOR MASKS:

Masks fit based on height of horse. When doing trade shows or private fittings, I have found that horses that are right on the height of both sizes, tend to need to size down.

For example: Mare is 15 H tall (60″), I would suggest sizing down to a small mask.
XS Horse (same as L pony) fits 13H-14H horses
S Horse fits 14H-15H horses
M Horse fits 15H-16H horses
L Horse fits 16H-17H horses.

These items are compression and are designed to fit tight. Do not be afraid to pull or stretch the fabric to get the mask on. Once in place, adjust to fit behind the hears and around the eye holes to not rub on the inside corners of the eyes or behind the ears.

When to use your mask:
Hauling, Stalling, for head injuries, after chiropractic adjustment, when standing tied to trailer, during turnout for special cases. You can have your horse wear it’s mask for as little as 30 minutes or all day long. For use over 12 hours, we suggest removing the mask (pulling off like a sock), shake it out and pull back on. This helps prevent rubbing and allows you to smooth the hair back down to prevent itching.

Word of caution: look for objects or areas where a mask might get snagged. Horses love to rub and bucket hooks, a screw or pop rivet in a stall, or a piece of fencing can do damage to your Hidez compression fabric. Just inspect the area where you will leave your horse with mask to prevent damage to the product. Note: curious hauling buddies have been known to reach out and grab these a time or two… distancing helps! Enjoy your Hidez compression was and feel free to message us if you have any questions!

Please note! While we do try to keep a good variety of inventory on-hand, with the varying range of sizes and colors, we might have to order your color/size item.
We order our products directly from Hidez Australia and typically receive them within 5 -7 business days of placing the order. This means we can still supply you with your order in about 7– 10 business days however we are subject to Customs and their workload.

Why A Hidez Compression Mask Helps Your Horse:

Calming a horse- why the Hidez compression mask helps by massaging and applying pressure ( compression) to these acupressure points. There are also points on the horse’s head (and body) that release endorphins.

Diana Thompson shows the location of Governing Vessel 24 and Yin Tang. They are both used to help relax horses. (In the photo below) GV 24 is located in the middle of the head at the bottom of the forelock; Yin Tang is midway between the horse’s eyes. The good news is that acupressure points can be activated over a relatively large area so you do not need to be exact to get a result. Performing acupressure is pretty simple. You start by placing your fingers or palm on the acupressure points and press down slowly for a minute to a minute and a half. If your horse accepts the pressure, you can make small circles, moving the skin (do not slide over the hair). If you start at GV 24 and gently stroke down you can also activate Yin Tang. You can tell when your horse starts to relax because they begin to lick, chew and maybe even yawn. It’s a great way to form a bond with your horse and to learn to calm your horse through your own energy.

Using the Hidez Compression Mask will help your equine massages last longer, as it will gently massage these areas while wearing the mask and increase circulation.

Use the mask underneath your bridle for a more comfortable horse. The compression will massage the muscle and fascia of the horses face and assist the horse in a complete mental and physical release process.
