Cashel Fly Arab Horse Leg Guard Cool Mesh Boots Orange

I have a gelding with 4 stockings who won't stomp the flies, so he gets bitten up so badly he has bloody legs and swarms of flies come back. I've tried other fly boots that worked to stop flies, but by morning after a night of turnout, they had slunk down all the way and weren't so effective. These stay put!! The contour around the bone helps keep them in place and I haven't had a single problem. I was hesitant at first because I was worried the stiffer material (which keeps them standing up) would cause rubs, but we're good so far!! Would definitely recommend these to anyone with a horse who needs fly boots as bad as mine. Love the color options too :)

The flies drive my horse crazy, but I have never tried fly boots, because the ones I've seen on the horses at our barn look uncomfortable and inefficient. My trainer suggested I try some, so I checked out what Smartpak carries. I was attracted to the Cashel guards because of the way they are fitted around the hoof & pastern. We always use Cashel fly masks, so I trusted the quality. They are easy to put on & adjust, they stay up, and my horse must find them comfortable because she doesn't even seem to notice that they are on. Yay! I've had them only a month, but durability wise, so far, so good.
