A nose guard for preventing flies and other insects entering the nose of an animal includes a generally cylindrical body with a cup-shaped bottom end formed of a material having sufficient flexibility to be folded for packaging or storage, and being sufficiently rigid that the guard retains substantially the shape given to it when unfolded. A hollow border is provided around the top periphery of the body for receiving a drawstring for tightening the guard on the animal's nose or bridle. The drawstring passes over the animal's head to secure the guard in position on the animal. Half flaps are provided in the top sides of one version of the guard, and full flaps on a further varient, so that the guard can be used effectively on, for example, a horse, with a western-style bit and rein arrangement, double rein Pelham bit and snaffle-bit and double bridel used in Dressage.
