Horseware Ireland is known for creating innovative products that make life easier for horse and rider, and fly products are no exception! The designs that go into creating the strongest, most durable blankets available, easily transfer into a variety of sheets that can keep even the most persistent of bugs at bay.  From flysheets with ‘No Fly Zone,’ our insect repellent technology, to the new and unique Amigo Evolution which offers more than one level of protection, Horseware Ireland’s Fly Collection has something suitable for everyone.

New for the Spring/Summer 2018 collection is the Amigo Evolution. The Evolution brings together our innovative & super light disc front closure with our color technology. Insects respond differently to different colors; interestingly most insects cannot perceive the colors orange or aqua because their vision centers on different sections of the electromagnetic spectrum. The color combination confuses the insect which deters them from landing on the animal. This is a natural deterrent in itself, and is utilized in our new Evolution fly sheet.

It is made from a lightweight, polyester net body that is super absorbent and has sun reflecting properties. This is the first fly sheet with our disc front closure system and also features three straight belly surcingles for full coverage, leg arches & an integrated neck. A matching flymask is also available, utilizing the same unique color technology. The sheet is available in sizes 60” – 84” and the mask in Small Pony sizes through Horse sizes.
