Care & Maintenance Instructions

Remove excess dirt and debris with a stiff brush before washing. Machine wash cold on gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use fabric softeners, bleach, or harsh chemicals, which can reduce insect repellent effectiveness. Hang to air dry completely before storage. Do not machine dry or dry clean. The built-in insect repellent remains effective for 15-20 washes with proper care. After this period, consider reapplying spray-on insect repellent or replacing the sheet. Store clean and completely dry in a breathable storage bag during off-season. Inspect straps, buckles, and stitching regularly and repair promptly.

Ideal Use Cases

This versatile fly sheet is perfect for horses spending time outdoors during fly season, typically from late spring through early fall. Ideal for daily pasture turnout, outdoor boarding facilities, summer trail riding, and protecting horses from insect-borne diseases. The waterproof construction makes it suitable for unpredictable weather conditions where horses may encounter both sun and rain. Excellent choice for horses with sensitive skin, those prone to insect allergies, or horses recovering from skin conditions that require protection from flies. The breathable mesh prevents overheating, making it safe for all-day wear even in hot climates.

Horse Compatibility

Designed for full-sized horses measuring 69-87 inches from chest to tail. Suitable for all breeds including Thoroughbreds, Quarter Horses, Warmbloods, Draft crosses, and other large horse breeds. Particularly beneficial for horses with thin coats, light-colored horses that attract more insects, horses with sweet itch or insect allergies, and horses turned out in areas with high fly populations. The detachable neck cover makes this sheet ideal for horses with sensitive necks or manes, or those who prefer varying levels of coverage. Not recommended for ponies or miniature horses, as the sizing and proportions are designed for full-sized horses.
