The Waldhausen Fly Sheet with Saddle Cut and Fringes is designed for equestrians who need to protect their horses from biting insects during ridden work. Its primary benefit is the unique black/white zebra pattern which serves as a natural deterrent to flies, combined with a fine mesh weave that offers breathable protection without overheating the horse. While highly effective at keeping insects at bay during exercise, it is specifically tailored for ridden use and does not provide the same level of heavy-duty coverage as a full-turnout rug.

No, this is an exercise rug designed specifically for use while ridden. It is not suitable for unsupervised turnout.
It is crafted from high-quality, durable polyester in a fine mesh weave.
Research suggests that the high-contrast stripes break up the horse's outline and confuse the vision of biting insects, making it harder for them to land.
This model is primarily designed as a saddle-cut exercise sheet and focuses on covering the back and neck areas; check individual variant specifications for belly strap inclusions.
Measure from the center of the chest, along the side of the horse, to the point of the tail.
Check the tension of the front chest clips and ensure the brow band attachment on the neck piece is secure.
Ensure the saddle is positioned first, then lay the sheet over the horse and adjust the cut-out area around the saddle flaps.
Use a small amount of clear fabric adhesive to prevent the snag from turning into a tear, or carefully trim loose threads with scissors.
To ensure the best fit, measure your horse from the center of the chest to the middle of the tail. When fitting, ensure the double clips are tightened so the sheet does not shift during transitions or while trotting. The neck piece should be adjusted at the brow band so it does not droop over the horse's eyes.
