At least he has a barn and twenty plus acres and two ponds so I'm sure he can figure out where to stay away from them. The ticks are my biggest problem. And chiggers.

Kri...Megan, yes the fly boots do help quite a bit.<br /><br />Kristen, I think the stiffness of the Schneider's fly sheet is a bonus, as it would help the sheet sit up away from the horse a bit (that's how Salem's other fly sheet is). I feel like that helps keep the horse cooler and helps keep bugs from biting through the sheet. ???<br /><br />Gooddog, I <3 Kensington! I'm not a fan of their fly sheets, though -- they're heavy, dark, have no belly band, and are expensive.<br /><br />Alana, I'm glad we don't have any of those crazy bugs! Right now, we have gnats, mosquitos, and barn flies and this sheet is effective against those. I also spray the walls of Salem's stall down with fly spray and that helps a LOT!Frizzlehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03084225669041286128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-48408206759251999482011-07-29T09:23:32.599-05:002011-07-29T09:23:32.599-05:00I have the exact same fly sheet for Bailey.

I like it, but I am not sure how much it actually does for flies. I use it mostly to keep Bailey cooler in this horrible heat. I got lucky, since Bails is a cribber I am able to hook the fly sheet onto her miracle collar. I don't think it would be hard to sew a little loop onto your fly mask though.<br />And shiny beast!! Yet another plus of the fly sheet, it keep them clean and buffs their coat!! Makes grooming a ton easier!Alanahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05377944763362524233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-35380328682156155472011-07-29T08:17:19.533-05:002011-07-29T08:17:19.533-05:00I don't use a fly sheet, but am thinking about...I don't use a fly sheet, but am thinking about it. But I have those exact kensington sets. Fly mask with ears and nose, and boots. The horses that wear the boots don't stop their feet like the horses that don't have them on. And my fly mask has the "bug eyes" so they don't rub around their eyes like some the horses' masks do.Gooddog_baddoghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13775332041804022911noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-1426212895225801082011-07-28T13:24:51.011-05:002011-07-28T13:24:51.011-05:00Bubble boy! :)

He is STILL covered in bites though grrrr! our B52's GIANT green biting flies are out and are MEAN bastards.Kristen Eleni Shellenbargerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01458744919530540978noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6595584700754159703.post-31841218125160431762011-07-28T09:50:29.233-05:002011-07-28T09:50:29.233-05:00He looks so cute!
