Oy, sometimes I feel so sorry for one of our horses! It seems like the bugs just prefer him over any of the other horses around. On top of that he has sweet itch. The problems is that the bugs that cause sweet itch are tiny and easily penetrate the standard and sturdy flysheets. In order for a fly sheet to prevent or minimize the exposure to Culicoides the sheet has to be fine. That is why I love this fly sheet from Harry's Horse; it is very fine with a reflective color, so the sun does heat up the horse. It attaches to the halter up top, I've also attached it to a fly mask. The tail flap is long, just where they scratch the most. I know my horse is a lot happier with this sheet then he has been in a long time!
