Can fly rugs protect against diseases? The fly rug not only offers protection against annoying flies, horseflies, and mosquitoes, but also prevents the occurrence of diseases such as hives, which can be transmitted by insects. The right equipment is crucial to maintain your horse's health and let it enjoy all outdoor activities worry-free.

What is a fly sheet, and why does my horse need one?

A fly sheet protects your horse from insects and flies, which can be particularly bothersome during the warmer months. It ensures comfort and helps protect the horse from insect bites and potential skin irritation.

What does a “classic cut with gusset” mean?

A gusset in horse blankets is a specially incorporated fold in the shoulder area of the fly sheet that provides greater freedom of movement. It consists of an extra panel of fabric or an overlapping section that stretches as the horse moves, preventing the fly sheet from pulling or chafing at the shoulders. This construction allows the horse to move freely while walking, grazing, or playing without the fly sheet slipping or restricting it.

Can my horse lie down and roll comfortably while wearing the fly sheet?

Yes, the fly sheet is cut to provide plenty of freedom. The elastic neck area adapts to movement, and the straps ensure that the fly sheet stays securely in place and does not shift.

Can my horse sweat under the fly sheet?

This fly sheet is breathable, allowing moisture to be wicked away so that the horse does not overheat even during extended periods of use.

Are the belly straps and leg straps necessary for a better fit?

Yes, the belly straps and detachable leg straps ensure that the elastic fly sheet sits securely and does not slip. They prevent the fly sheet from billowing in the wind or shifting when the horse moves or rolls.

How does the T-front closure work?

A T-front closure is a special fastening mechanism; it consists of a T-shaped design where a horizontal bar and two vertical straps are connected. This closure allows for easy handling, as it can be opened and closed quickly. The T-design distributes pressure evenly, ensuring the fly sheet sits securely on the horse without creating uncomfortable pressure points. The T-front closure ensures a good fit to the horse’s shape while simultaneously making it easier to put on and take off the fly sheet.

Is the fly sheet suitable for all horse breeds?

Yes, the fly sheet has been designed to adapt well to various body shapes and sizes. It is suitable for both large and small horses, provided you choose the correct size.
