Equine Sun Visor

Their longtime equine veterinarian warned them that Indy's lack of pigmentation around his blue eye

Got a blue-eyed or pink-skinned horse who needs serious eye protection from the sun?

Their longtime equine veterinarian warned them that Indy's lack of pigmentation around his blue eye and face would make him more susceptible to suffer problems, including cancer, if not protected from the sun. They tried traditional fly masks for coverage but found the protection they offered was not enough. Unable to find a satisfactory product on the market, they designed and created their own.

How The Equine Sun Visor Came To Be

Dale & Yvonne Cates invented the Equine Sun Visor® when their Tovero Paint foal, Indy, presented them with eye and skin sensitivity issues never encountered with their other horses. Their longtime equine veterinarian warned them that Indy's lack of pigmentation around his blue eye and face would make him more susceptible to suffer problems, including cancer, if not protected from the sun. They tried traditional fly masks for coverage but found the protection they offered was not enough. Unable to find a satisfactory product on the market, they designed and created their own. With input from their equine veterinarian, a lot of thought, work, and many fitting trials, the Equine Sun Visor®was developed. Almost immediately other horse owners were asking if one could be made for their horse too. Dandy Products was formed and the rest, as they say, is history. The Equine Sun Visor® now has loyal customers throughout the United States and Canada.
