Many horse owners get stuck when it comes to riding and full-body protection. Fly repellent is only effective for a brief period, and if you plan to be out for a long ride or simply aren’t home to re-apply repellent throughout the day, you want to ensure that your horse is comfortable.
Fly gear is the unsung hero of the horse world. As you use it to protect your horse from irritating and disease-carrying flies during peak season, you unknowingly do much more to keep him comfortable.
Because many store-bought and homemade fly repellents only protect for up to a few hours, protective horsewear is a must. A well-fitted fly mask, like Cashel Company’s Crusader Fly Mask, keeps bugs out of horses’ eyes.
