The Waldhausen Fly Sheet is designed for horse owners seeking advanced insect protection during riding sessions. By utilizing a high-quality, fine mesh weave with a unique black and white visual effect, this sheet actively deters flies and biting insects more effectively than standard solid-colored rugs. While it offers superior coverage and specialized features for comfort, users should note that the polyester material requires proper maintenance to ensure the fine mesh remains free of snags or debris over time.

This model is specifically designed as an exercise sheet with a saddle cut; it is not intended for long-term unsupervised turnout.
Yes, research suggests that the high-contrast black and white stripes disrupt the landing trajectory of biting insects.
Measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail. The 115cm refers to the length of the rug in centimeters.
The saddle cut is versatile and fits most English and Western style saddles comfortably.
Clean the rug thoroughly, ensure it is completely dry, and store it in a breathable bag in a cool, dry place to prevent mildew.
Ensure the brow band is adjusted to a snug fit against the headstall and that the neck fasteners are tight enough to stay in place without impeding the horse's ability to lower its head.
Carefully trim any loose threads with small scissors. If the hole is large, consider a professional repair patch to prevent the weave from unraveling further.
To set up, place the rug over the horse's back, aligning the saddle cut area with your saddle's position. Secure the front using the double-clip fastenings, ensuring a snug but non-restrictive fit across the chest. Fasten the neck cover via the brow band to prevent it from sliding down. For care, gently hose off mud or debris after use. When machine washing is necessary, use a delicate cycle with a mild detergent and ensure the sheet is air-dried away from direct, high-heat sources to maintain the integrity of the mesh weave. Always check the chest clips for damage before each ride.
