Shoofly Leggins are the best
"These keep the flys off my horse’s legs and so prevent stomping. They last several seasons even on horses who are rough on their apparel. The pink and orange are easy to find in the pastures."
Shoofly Leggins™ Fly Boots - Set of 4
The fly boot that stays put in the pasture
Stays put in the pasture: flexible plastic mesh stands open around the leg and closes with hook-and-loop, keeping flies, gnats and bot flies off the legs without restricting blood flow or movement. A set of four, in three sizes.
1
Stays on through turnout
Hook-and-loop fasteners hold the boot in place even when your horse is out all day. The reason owners buy them again is that they are still on at dinner.
2
Bites stopped, bot eggs stopped
The mesh keeps flies and other biting insects off the lower leg, and stops bot flies laying eggs there, so you aren't scraping bot eggs in August.
3
Open mesh, open airflow
Flexible plastic mesh that lets air through and doesn't restrict blood flow or range of motion. The airflow also helps a scrape or abrasion dry out and heal.
4
Less stomping, easier on the whole leg
A horse that isn't stomping at flies isn't jarring its joints, chipping its hooves or tiring its muscles. Three sizes, from small ponies to big horses.
Finding the Right Fit
Measure once, order once. Most horses nail their size on the first try.
1
Measure the cannonCircumference at the top and bottom of the cannon. Match the bottom measurement to the size chart; go up if between.
2
Open and wrapThe mesh flexes open. Wrap it around the leg with the closure to the outside.
3
Press the hook-and-loop shutFirm and even down the length, and the boot stays through turnout.
4
Hose off when dirtyWipe down or hose off as needed. Check the stays for bends over the season.

What Horse Owners Are Saying
★★★★★
I'm now buying my 4th pair of Shoofly Leggings for my boy. They last the season for him because he's turned out 24/7 in the spring and summer, otherwise they'd last longer!! They work amazing and don't bother him like other fly boots. I'll definitely keep buying these!
★★★★★
Love them! Can pick my mare out of the herd quickly. Stay fastened. Holding up well even with machine washings approximately every 3 weeks. Recommend them!
★★★★★

Fly protection that is still on at the end of the day
The test of a fly boot is whether it is still on at dinner. Shoofly Leggins™ pass it: a flexible plastic mesh that stands open around the leg and closes with hook-and-loop, so it stays put through turnout without restricting blood flow or movement. The mesh keeps flies and biting insects off the lower leg and stops bot flies laying eggs there, which means less stomping, and less stomping is easier on hooves, joints and muscles. The open weave lets air through, which also helps a scrape dry and heal. Set of four in Blue or Pink; Small, Medium or Large by cannon circumference. Made in Mexico with a 100% manufacturer's guarantee. Hose off or wipe down as needed.

Reviews
Shoofly Leggins
"These are by far the longest lasting, sturdiest, and most effective fly boots on the market. I thought they looked ridiculous when I first saw them on a client's horse, but have used them on over 20-25 horses now, and they almost always last the entire fly season, sometimes until the next year. They help tremendously with hoof cracking, losing shoes, and horses are just generally more peaceful in the pasture."

Great fly leggings.
"Love these! Great fit and pretty pink."
Favorite Fly Boots!
"These are the very best fly boots - they don't rub on sensitive skinned horses and they stay up. The last pair I bought lasted 6 months, which is a record for my horse who is a 'player. ' If you need good fly boots, these are the ones you should purchase."
Shoofly leggings
"Love these! They hold up for the whole season and never fall off and the fit is great!"
Shoofly
"Shoofly leggings are part of my fly management. My horses wear them from early Spring through late fall 24/7 when not being ridden. I have 2 pairs for each horse, so I can clean them regularly. They fit excellently my 16. 2 hand TB (medium) and my 14. 2 Arabian (small). No rubbing, sagging. No stomping, no bites! Strongly recommend!"
