I’m caring for a friend’s Andalusian gelding while she’s away for an extended period of time.
His fly sheets are stretching at the neck badly. Hes a wider boy, but even so the necks end up pressing on his shoulders and base of neck in a way that looks uncomfortable, and eventually the sheet becomes too long off the back.
What sheets can you recommend that won’t do this?
Rambo
The Amigo fly sheets have worked well on my broad Irish Draught mare. I’ve been using the CamoFly model and it’s been surprisingly long-lived!
I wonder if the Amigo XL line would be the right fit? They are made for deeper and wider horses, who usually have thicker necks as well.
Schneider closed front is the best I’ve found. Zero neck stretching. I’ve got a broad shouldered girl and as much as I love my rambo, shires, etc. all want to pull open or stretch down.
I love the Hug Enclosure fly sheets. Elastic neck band, fits nicely and the neck band contours. It’s the only one that I use.
How are these so inexpensive?
No idea, But, it’s the only fly sheet that I use.
Turtle neck has a stretchy neck and fits my massive shouldered Friesian X.
