Cashel Flysheet - Size 74/76 - Breathable Polyester Mesh Horse Fly Sheet with 70% UV Protection

Protect your equine partner from the relentless irritation of summer pests and the damaging effects of the sun with the premium Cashel Flysheet. Designed with the expertise and empathy that "Hooves and Paws" customers expect, this high-performance horse fly sheet provides a superior barrier against insects while ensuring your horse remains cool and comfortable during turnout.

Crafted from Cashel’s signature soft-coated nylon micromesh, this sheet offers a unique combination of rugged durability and a gentle touch. This breathable horse mesh is engineered to provide 70% UV protection, a critical feature for preventing painful sunburn and stopping dark coats from bleaching or fading in the intense summer heat. Unlike traditional stiff plastic sheets, the soft-coated nylon prevents coat rubbing and skin irritation, maintaining a show-quality finish all season long.

For horses suffering from Insect Bite Hypersensitivity (IBH) or "Sweet Itch," the Cashel Flysheet is a game-changer. It features an extra-wide belly flap specifically designed to protect the sensitive midline where gnats and midges congregate. This comprehensive equine insect protection reduces the urge to itch and helps manage skin inflammation, allowing your horse to graze in peace.

Frequently Asked Questions:

Q: Why is soft-coated nylon better than standard polyester?
A: Cashel uses soft-coated nylon because it offers a superior strength-to-softness ratio. It is significantly less abrasive than polyester, which helps prevent the "shoulder rubs" common with other fly sheets, while still being tough enough for daily pasture use.

Q: Can this sheet help with my horse's Sweet Itch (IBH)?
A: Absolutely. The fine weave of the soft-coated nylon mesh acts as a physical barrier against the tiny midges (no-see-ums) that cause Sweet Itch. The extra-wide belly flap is specifically designed to protect the areas most vulnerable to these pests.

Q: Will this sheet keep my horse from getting too hot?
A: Yes. This breathable horse mesh is designed for maximum air circulation, allowing heat to escape while providing a shield against the sun's rays, often keeping the horse cooler than they would be without a sheet.
