Fly Wraps for Happier Horses

Fly Wraps for Happier Horses

As a horse owner, you want nothing but the best for your equine companion. You provide them with a comfortable stall, nutritious food, and regular exercise. But have you considered the impact that flies can have on your horse's well-being? Flies are not only annoying to horses, but they can also cause a range of health issues. That's where fly boots come in. In this blog post, we will explore the benefits of fly boots and how they can contribute to happier horses.

What are fly boots?

Fly boots, also referred to as fly wraps, are protective coverings that are designed to shield a horse's legs from flies, mosquitoes, and other insects. They are typically made from lightweight, breathable materials that allow air to circulate while keeping bugs at bay. Fly boots are made in various sizes to ensure a proper fit for your horse.

Why should you use fly boots?

There are several reasons why using fly boots can greatly benefit your horse:

1. Protection from insect bites: Flies and other insects can cause painful bites and irritate your horse's skin. Fly boots act as a barrier, preventing insects from coming into direct contact with your horse's legs.

2. Reduced risk of infections: Insect bites can lead to open sores and wounds, increasing the risk of infections. By using fly boots, you can minimize the chances of your horse developing such issues.

3. Comfort and relief: Flies buzzing around can be extremely irritating for horses. Fly boots provide a sense of comfort and relief, allowing your horse to focus on their activities without constant annoyance.

4. Prevention of stomping and injury: Horses often stomp their feet to ward off flies, which can lead to injuries such as cracked/chipped hooves, bruising, and strain. Fly boots help reduce stomping behavior, thus reducing the risk of such injuries. As an added bonus, if your horse wears horseshoes they will be less likely to stomp them loose, in turn saving you money on farrier expenses.
