Can you buy fly sheets that you can ride in??

As the title really.

I'm getting sick to death of these sodding horse flies!!

Anyone know if such fly sheets are available?

Many thanks,

Lou. x

Oooh I'm interested to see if anyone knows of any, as I've been thinking the same and have yet to come across any. I am wondering if perhaps there's a gap in the market and that's how I can make my millions to buy lots of new GGs!

You can ride in the Boet, the Pagony and the Icelandic.

Shires used to do a maxi flow continental pattern exercise rug. However you'd have to find someone with old stock

I never ride in my Boett - far too hot and fear it would chafe!

However I did by a Cashel belly saver from the USA - this basically stops midges and flies biting his belly. I don't use it often, but if they are about I would as otherwise they seem to target his belly.

LOL
I use the QR mask for my mare, it certainly does the job!

You can also use a Boett if you want to fork out for one. I ride in mine all the time, after Ive taken the stomach bit off.

A few years ago i made one myself - worked ok - think i need to practice using a sewing machine thou!

and learn what a straight line is!

 

[Capriole]

yes, there is a new one that called horse armour or something llike, its specifically designed to be worn for riding

 

[RachelB]

If you don't want the full "body armour" thing (which actually looks pretty fab if you have a horse bothered by bugs!) I know Mark Todd also do a fly rug style exercise sheet.

 

[LusoLover]

Oh poo, they already exist. Need to think of a new idea to make my millions!

Ah thanks guys, that's really helped me out too. Bloody flies seem to get worse every year!
