    Is anyone using over-the-harness flynets while working their horses? Are they effective against horse flys? Do you have a supplier you are happy with?

    Thanks,

    Mark

    Hi Mark, I have 2 fly nets. They are old and would need new buckles. I have not tried them and the horse I would have used them on is on his way out. If you would like them you can have them.

    Let me know.

    I have two that I use every summer Mark. They do help. I have no idea where they came from as I bought them at a yard sale. These are nylon and like I said they do help as long as your team is moving. When you’re standing still the greenheads (horse fly’s) will still get you and I hope to find something that’ll work on their heads and necks.

    i use the fly nets all the time. In a rainy summer like this the green heads and other big biting flies are a real pain. In my Midwest leather catolog they are $42. more than I remembered but what isn’t. they are made of nylon string and last for a few years. the daily use and I just throw them over the hames and quickly attaching them on the back is kind of hard on them. I think they help a lot. I got a new horse this week! 7 year old Percheron Mare, two days on the mowing machine this week already. Donn
