In this blog post, we're going to dive into the world of horse fly protection, exploring the benefits of our incredible Shoofly Leggins, and sharing some insider tips on how to keep your horse happy, healthy, and fly-free all summer long. So, saddle up and let's get started!

The importance of fly protection for horses

The importance of fly protection for horses cannot be overstated. As horse owners and enthusiasts, we want to keep our equine friends as comfortable and healthy as possible. Flies are more than just a minor nuisance; they can pose serious risks to the well-being of our beloved animals. Let's take a closer look at why protecting your horse from flies is essential.
First and foremost, flies are a significant source of annoyance and distress for horses. Constantly swarmed by these tiny pests, horses become agitated and stressed, which can lead to a variety of behavioral issues. Horses might resort to stomping, swishing their tails, and even rubbing against fences or other objects to alleviate the irritation, which in turn can cause injuries or damage to their skin and coat.
In addition to the discomfort they cause, flies also carry and transmit diseases. Some of the most common diseases transmitted by flies include vesicular stomatitis, equine infectious anemia, and West Nile virus, among others. These diseases can have severe consequences for your horse's health, and in some cases, can even be life-threatening.
Flies are also notorious for causing infections in open wounds. When a horse has a cut or abrasion, flies can quickly gather around it, potentially introducing bacteria and other pathogens into the wound. This can slow down the healing process and lead to infections that may require veterinary intervention.
Moreover, certain types of flies, such as horseflies, bot flies and deer flies, are known for their painful bites. These bites can cause significant discomfort and may even lead to an allergic reaction in some horses. In extreme cases, a horse may experience severe swelling or develop a systemic reaction, which could be life-threatening without prompt medical attention.
