Key benefits
The Best Insect Protection a Fly Boot Can Offer
The Mosquito Mesh® Fly Boot is made from a 350D extra-fine window screen mesh that provides playful draft horses the best fly protection against flying insects, such as gnats, mosquitos, and flies. The 40% UV protection keeps their legs safe in the sun, while the mesh allows for exceptional air circulation and doesn't heat up in the sun, keeping them cool and sweat-free.
Non-Fitted Design for Extra Airflow
Non-fitted boots are designed to fit around the top and bottom of the boot to keep flies out while staying off the leg, allowing for exceptional airflow. These are a favorite for those who live in warmer climates. Since the boot stays off the leg and keeps flies away, some love to use this style if their horse is recovering from a leg injury. You don’t have to worry about these boots slouching, you’ll find that the full-length hook and loop closure down the cannon bone, flexible stays, and fleece-lined top and bottoms keep the boots upright during wear.
Made to Withstand Your Playful Draft Horse
The Mosquito Mesh® Fabric is made to withstand your playful draft. Since the flexible stays keep this boot upright, you can turn them out knowing they’ll be protected from biting bugs and stay comfortable all season.
Full-Length Reflective Side Panels
A full-length reflective side panel adds an additional safety element for low light and night turnout and trail riding.

Best Fly Boots
"These boots are the only ones that stay up on my draft mare’s legs! They are light and breezy as well. She’s worn them for several months now with no damage to the boots. Very easy to clean as well- you just spray them with a hose."
They don’t stay up
"They don’t stay up"
I ordered these to try
"I ordered these to try to help my Belgian's foot-stomping and scratches and they are terrific. Lightweight, they stay up and dry fast if moistened in the grass. They are tough and are standing up well compared to others I have tried. Am planning to buy another set."
Highly recommend these fly boots
"Highly recommend these fly boots as a solution for biting flies and sensitive hooves. I have been using them on my 4 year old gelding and my 23 year old mare and noticed huge relief. Their hooves still look great, due to less stomping. The fly boots stay on and up and for my young guy, he still has all four! I haven't had to walk the paddock once to find them. My horses are outside 24/7 so I wanted something that was not restricting and easy to use. The velcro remains strong and they are very easy to take on and off. It also took no time for either of my horses to get used to them. Very happy with these fly boots!"
I can't stop ordering these. . .
"I can't stop ordering these. . . they are the best for a tough boy who likes to play rough. He loves these boots and doesn't let anyone take them off of him."
Boots work great
"They may make him look like he belongs in Ghostbusters but they work great at keeping the bugs away. I also spray them inside and out to help. Velcro is super tough and the mesh not flimsy."
I have been extremely impressed
"I have been extremely impressed with these boots. My mare is a Friesian/Perch. 18hh. So far they have held up in the rain and from her getting in the pond with them on. She is getting relief from not stomping. They are very light weight. I would purchase again."
Excellent. I've used these for
"Excellent. I've used these for my 17. 3 hand crossbred mare for all night turnout for two long, bug-filled Summers in Aiken, South Carolina. They are lightweight, strong, easy to take on and off, and easy to clean. They must be comfortable to wear. My highly intelligent mare, who has perfect manners, quietly and carefully takes off anything that she doesn't like to wear. This happens the minute you turn your back. By magic, I guess, because you certainly cannot catch her at it. So if Clio approves of these boots, they must be comfortable. By the way, Clio approves of your fly mask, too. My only suggestion is that your tallest size could be even longer. Over time, they collapse by several inches."
