Fly Sheets - More Benefits Than Just Keeping Off the Flies

Fly Sheets - More Benefits Than Just Keeping Off the Flies

Posted by Sarah Crampton on

Blue skies and warm weather are perfect for getting out to enjoy your horse. However, the warm weather is also the start of fly season, which brings the challenge of protecting your horse from irritating, biting insects. Biting flies can lead to constant tail swishing, foot stomping, and overall discomfort. Some horses even develop swelling, lumps, or worse.

Why Use a Fly Sheet for Your Horse?

It's easy to spend a small fortune on fly sprays that offer only short-term relief. One of the most effective, economical ways to provide lasting protection is by using a fly sheet for horses. It creates a physical barrier between your horse’s coat and biting insects—dramatically reducing their ability to irritate your horse.

By combining a fly sheet with a fly mask and mesh fly boots, you can give your horse near-complete coverage, drastically reducing your use of fly spray and minimizing chemical exposure. Think of the money you’ll save—and the relief your horse will feel.

More Than Just Fly Protection

There are several lesser-known benefits of fly sheets for horses beyond just insect protection:

  • They keep the coat clean by repelling dust and debris

  • They smooth the hair, helping it lie flat and look polished

  • They prevent sun bleaching, especially important for dark-coated horses

  • They help your horse stay calm, making turnout more peaceful
