Everything you need to know about fly boots

Do fly boots work for horses?

Yes, fly boots really work for horses. When you buy a properly-fitting pair of fly boots for your horse, the adjustable straps or rubber binding should hold the fly boot in place. This keeps flies from landing on your horse’s legs. Fly boots for horses are also helpful if a horse has a cut, would, or irritation you want to keep bugs out of. Some horse owners even place fly boots over top of bandages to give an extra level of protection on the bandage, preventing curious horses from chewing or biting at the wraps while still letting air flow circulate through any breathable materials the horse’s leg might be wrapped with underneath.

What are the best fly boots for horses?

The best fly boots for horses are properly fitting, comfortable, and keep insects from landing on your horse. There are many factors for choosing the best fly boots, like choosing between a fitted or non-fitted boot option. If your horse is notorious for stepping out of their boots or wraps, a fitted fly boot would be your best choice. A non-fitted option protects your horse’s legs from flies while allowing exceptional air circulation during the summer months. However, both versions offer great protection for horses that just can’t handle the constant feeling of having flies on their legs.
