But which products really deliver on their promises when it comes to Fly Protection? Together with BUSSE, we searched for our #FIGHTTHEFLIES favorites this summer and found some amazing products!
Fly Protection starts at the ears. With the breathable Fly Mask TWIN-FIT, the sensitive areas on your favorite’s head are optimally protected. Thanks to the shape-retaining, breathable, and highly elastic nylon/lycra blend fabric, the Fly Mask fits perfectly and prevents pressure points. The shape-retaining eye protection made of fine mesh with ample space around the eyes also provides excellent protection. The Fly Mask TWIN-FIT is closed with a zipper along the lower jaw, making it fit like a second skin.
For horses that are especially sensitive to flies around the nostrils, we discovered another #FAVOURITE! The Fly Mask FLY PROFESSIONAL is padded with fleece on all edges to provide your horse with maximum wearing comfort. It also features a nostril protection that can be removed depending on your needs. Satisfied kavalio customers rate the Fly Mask FLY PROFESSIONAL 5 out of 5 stars, saying, “Thanks to the frame, the horses have great eye freedom and nothing presses anywhere. It’s also super airy, even the ears are made of lightweight mesh, especially great in hot temperatures.”
You can also protect your horse from pests like flies and horseflies during work. For groundwork or lunging, BUSSE has come up with something special: The Longing Rug FLY made of fine-mesh and durable polyester mesh is quickly and easily attached to the rings of the lunge girth with five adjustable Velcro straps. Additionally, the hind cord of the Fly Rug allows use at trot and canter without slipping. The Longing Rug FLY offers ideal protection against annoying insects in the saddle area, kidneys, croup, and flanks during training sessions.
But what can you do to prevent your horse from losing concentration due to flies and horseflies while riding fully equipped? It’s simple—#FIGHTTHEFLIES with the BUSSETraining Rug FLY. The rug, specially attached at the saddle, stays so still during riding that it can even be used for dressage or jumping training!
Especially on the paddock and pasture, your favorite should be fully protected against annoying pests. For this, BUSSE offers the ultimate all-rounder in their range! The Paddock Fly Rug SUPERB protects your horse’s body with its fine special weave structure. To avoid rubbing, this rug is lined with smooth satin in various areas, promising maximum wearing comfort for your horse! Thanks to the elastic neck and V-Quick Snap chest buckles, the rug fits perfectly for several hours without restricting your horse’s movement—an absolute #FAVOURITE, in our opinion!
With these products, you can defy insects and fully enjoy your summer with your four-legged friend. You can find these and other great BUSSE items exclusively in our shop! Have you also discovered our SUMMER-SALE? It’s definitely worth a visit :-)
