Here we are again at the time of the year when our horses and ponies get pestered by flies!!
It seems to be a minefield when deciding which fly sheet/rug to use, so we will try to give you a guide.
Most manufacturers produce a rug to protect against flies but the ones we offer have been tried and tested with good results.
Bucas do the Buzz-Off fly sheet, the full neck giving the best protection. These are made from specially develop[ed lightweight fine mesh fabric. They block even the smallest of insects and reduce the effects of Ultra-Violet on your horse, Face masks are avaliable.
