I > am wondering if anyone has success with "summer sheets" ? Do they actually > keep biting bugs away or are they just to protect from the sun?...
Sheets are great!! I really like Weathabeeta's sheets--they have one that's really inexpensive (around $50) that has a wide wrap that goes under the belly and protects most of the belly, as well as a tail cover to keep bugs from biting around the dock. You can also get it w/ a neck cover, but I've never tried that. I also put a flymask on, one that has ear covers. I like Cashel's flymasks. The major problem that I have w/ sheets is that I can't use them when the horses aren't out grazing, b/c then the rotten pony picks at Santana's (twh) sheet and rips holes in it, and pulls the flymask off. If you don't have to deal w/ those problems, then a sheet and mask should do you well! http://www.weatherbeeta.com/USA/Range/Fly/Fly_intro.asp Robyn
