Fly & Insect Protection for Horses
Summer months bring not only sunny days and long rides but also annoying biting insects. Flies, horseflies, mosquitoes, and ticks cause horses not just stress and restlessness, but can also lead to serious health issues such as eye infections, skin allergies, or sweet itch. Ensure your horse has maximum comfort and peace in the pasture, in the stable, and during training. In our range, you will find comprehensive insect protection that you can tailor exactly to the needs of your equine partner and their environment.
Complete Gear for a Calm and Healthy Horse
Every horse reacts to insects differently, and the intensity of insect presence varies by environment. While a quality fly spray and a sticky trap might be enough in some stables, other horses need mechanical protection from head to hoof. In our subcategories, you will find everything you need for targeted insect control:
Fly Rugs and Sweet Itch Rugs
A fly rug (fly sheet) is the absolute essential for horses that spend a lot of time turned out. It provides a reliable mechanical barrier protecting the back, neck, shoulders, and belly from bites. Many of our models also feature UV protection, which guards sensitive skin against sunburn and prevents the coat from bleaching. For horses suffering from severe insect allergies, we offer special sweet itch rugs that, thanks to their elastic and densely woven material, fit snugly to the body and keep out even the tiniest midges.
Fly Masks
A horse's eyes and ears are a huge magnet for insects and are among their most vulnerable areas. Fly masks (often combined with a fly fringe) effectively prevent constant head tossing and protect against dangerous conjunctivitis. You can choose from various options – from basic masks covering just the eyes and ears, to models with integrated nose covers (ideal for horses prone to sunburned muzzles), to fine masks and fringes designed specifically for riding.
Fly Boots
Constant stomping and kicking to shoo horseflies away from the legs puts unnecessary strain on a horse's joints and often leads to pulled shoes or hoof damage. Mesh fly boots keep the legs safe. They are extremely lightweight, breathable, do not cause overheating, and thanks to strong Velcro fastenings, they stay perfectly in place even during all-day turnout.
Horse Fly Repellents
For immediate relief during work, at competitions, or as a supplement to fly rugs, repellents are a must-have. We offer highly effective sprays, gels, and roll-ons. You can choose natural alternatives based on citronella, tea tree oil, and garlic, or opt for strong synthetic repellents containing DEET or Icaridin that withstand even the most demanding training sweat. Gels and roll-ons are perfect for application around the eyes, ears, or groin.
Fly Traps for Stables and Pastures
The foundation of successful insect control is systematically reducing the overall population in the horse's immediate vicinity. Insect catchers and traps are an ideal and eco-friendly solution for stables, shelters, or near muck heaps. Special outdoor horsefly traps can catch a massive amount of large biting insects right in the pasture, thanks to a heated dark ball and a reflective funnel. For stables and stalls, sticky traps, fly papers, and containers with pheromone baits are perfect for significantly reducing the presence of annoying flies and ensuring your horse gets a peaceful rest.
Tip for making the right choice: For 24/7 protection, we recommend combining on-horse protection (fly rug, mask, and repellent) with an area-wide solution using strategically placed insect traps in the stable and pasture.
