Vicki Nichols’ 4 star review fixed the fit on my horse – now fly-safe
I read the reviews and took Vicki Nichols’ advice. I have a 16H Andalusian and got a S, which he kept getting out of or ripping. We had to take it off at night because of that – rolling in the bedding. Yesterday, I took Vicki’s advice and fixed it up as she showed in photos and specified in her review. Worked great today in turnout! He gets bad summer sores and without this slinky, the flies eat him up. Thank you, Vicki! One piece of info – we do have Lowe’s here but they didn’t have the correct Velcro product. Amazon does! VELCRO Brand 30 Inch Elastic Straps 4 Pack | Stretchable and Adjustable For Snug Fit | Fasten Outdoor Umbrellas, Wood, Tarps, Blankets, Poles, More | Cinch with Buckle, Black 30×1″ If your horse is bigger, you’ll need longer straps. Also, because he’d ripped one slinky beyond repair, i kept it for spare parts. So in this adjustment, I could keep the two crosswise straps on the croup end, and use one crosswise from the ripped slinky to keep the fore straps together. Look at Vicki’s great photos – you’ll see what i mean. We’re going to try leaving it on him overnight and I’m crossing my fingers.Addition: It stayed on overnight!Cashel, you need to correct the design and add one or two straps to link the front and rear straps, and another crosswise piece to attach those straps to the front straps, as you can see in Vicki’s first photo.UPDATE: When my horse dropped to pee, the pee pocket was too short. He measures 75″, so right in-between S and M. I bought a M, and the pee pocket is much bigger, roomier and way easier and more comfortable for him to pee. Using Vicki’s advice, it still stays on him even though it looks too loose. I added one more improvement, which is another short x-wise strap (from the spare parts slinky) holding the two rear long straps together, so there are 3 altogether there now, spaced out as needed. His summer sores are almost all healed now, w/o flies being able to get on him as we can now leave the belly guard on almost 24/7, just taking it off to soak and wash the pee pocket daily. It now works brilliantly! See new photos of him in M.

Worst product ever
I put the product on by following instructions that were given, which werenât very clear to begin with. 20 minutes later it had fallen off his back end. The next day the barn manager put it on following the instructions just like I did and the next day it was shredded to pieces. Horrible design and I sure hope I get my money back.

Very effective – extremely tricky to put on and off
Very effective against sweet itch along ridge of belly. Tried everything there is for about a year, this solved the issue (along with other treatments to heal skin).However, due to where the velcro closures are located it is very tricky to put on and take off as this is not placed over the back – yes, you can attach the torso part first, on the back, pull around, and then do the front piece, however, if the horse moves, there is a high risk of the horse stepping on it and breaking it.It sounds like a silly problem, it gets very annoying and time-consuming. I put on multiple horse blankets several time every day so I’m familiar with many different forms of blankets – this is great, but not its fasteners. Looking elsewhere or making my own. However: Fret not, this is very effective for helping a horse suffering from sweet itch, phew.

Demolished after 1 month
One of our mares gets chewed up by flies every summer. They attack her belly relentlessly and rather than keep a flysheet on 24/7, I wanted something that she could wear at night when there were fewer flies out to give her some relief from having the fly sheet on all the time. At first this seemed the perfect solution, but then the Velcro closures started to give way and ultimately the straps that go over the withers and croup also began to get flimsy. We tied some soft fabric from the front straps to the back to help keep it on, but ultimately, the product just couldn’t stand up to nightly use and we found it hanging off our mare and realized it couldn’t be used again.Good concept, but not sturdy enough for nightly use during fly season.

Very helpful for keeping flies off those summer sores
Nice lightweight and cool cover to prevent flies and help heal summer sores. Straps stretch out after a season though.

Good idea but
I love the idea. In fact, it would be perfect if it didnât go right up her butt crack. She wouldnât walk and I can imagine after a while the rubbing would be atrocious. I might try to figure out how to rig it a different way.Update: I have had this on her for 5 days and itâs still on. No issues. Sheâs also on about 10 acres. Super happy with this.

Does not work. Don’t bother.
Did not fit with size guide. Would not stay in place. Tangled horses legs and didn’t cover intended area in a way that would keep bugs out. Returned immediately.

works remarkably well!!
Highly recommend! Works perfectly for my horse who had a serious wound on his sheath. I desperately needed to keep flies off & this is very effective. Would work well for insect dermatitis on the midline as well. Horse can drop, so he wears it 24/7. Easy to clean. I bought a couple so I could rotate & disinfect. I am grateful to have found this product!! Truly solves a real problem! (sorry, but I’m not posting a photo of this lol)

Gute Idee, aber leider sehr schlechtes Material. Hat keine 2 Tage gehalten!

I really wanted these to work! Purchase 2, one for each of my mares and both were lost in the first 8 hours, still haven’t found 1 out in my field. They do not stay on! I had them adjusted really well and thought they would last but nope. A complete waste of money, sadly. Ended up buying Horsewear brand fly sheets with belly guards and they’ve worked amazing!

Ich habe den Flysheed für meine Stute gekauft, die extrem von Kriebelmücken geplagt wird im Bereich Brust und die komplette Bauchnaht bis einschlieÃlich Euter. In den letzten Jahren hat sie deshalb eine Ekzemerdecke getragen, unter der es aber unheimlich warm wird und nach einem Regenschauer ist es die reinste Sauna.Deshalb dachte ich mir, dass das Flysheed hierzu eine gute Alternative sein könnte.Nach kaum 24h war die Decke jedoch komplett zerfetzt, da offensichtlich trotz aller Bemühungen die Bänder verrutschen.2 Sterne, weil die Idee an sich super ist und für viele Pferde eine Alternative zu einer Ekzemerdecke sein könnte.Da es keine vergleichbaren Produkte auf dem Markt gibt, werde ich wohl mal die Nähmaschine aus dem Keller holen und ein eigenes Produkt kreieren.

Ich finde die Idee eines separaten Bauchlatzes wirklich gut, weil mein Ekzemerpony immer einen Bauchlatz mit Euterschutz braucht. Gerade regendichte Decken haben das aber nicht und da schien mir dieser Bauchschutz ideal. Leider ist er meiner ponydame immer wieder hinten runtergerutsch, vermutlich, wenn sie sich gescheurt hat. So hat sie ihn leider auch schnell kaputtgekriegt. Ich überlege, ob man den nicht anders nähen kann, damit er hinten besser befestigt werden kann.

Would be best for mares the sheath area is not very long and when dropped caused irritation
