 Flies are relentless this time of year... are you winning the battle?

 

July is peak fly season, which means it's time to make sure your horse has the protection they need.

 

 Fly sheets

 Fly masks

 Fly boots

 Fly spray

 Fly predators & barn control products

 

A little prevention goes a long way toward keeping horses comfortable and preventing rubbing, bites, and irritation.
