Protection for your mini!

Pests not only annoy and irritate minis, they could spread diseases and cause allergic reactions and other bite sensitivities. While there is no way to eliminate these pests completely, there are ways to help control the infestation. Fly-fighting essentials like repellents and spot-on treatments are designed to be used on the horse, while fly masks, boots, and sheets create a physical barrier of protection. Keep fly traps, bags, and catchers in and around the stable to help reduce the pest population.

Fly Sheets
Minis need just as much protection from the sun and biting insects as you do. Help them out with fly sheets-essential in protecting them from annoying bites. Lighter-weight than regular blankets, fly sheets provide protection to a mini's entire body when turned out or in the barn.

Fly Fighter Mosquitoes are most active from dusk to dawn. Keep your mini protected with horse wear items, like fly masks, fly sheets, and fly boots, to help reduce biting.

Fly Masks & Boots
What’s more annoying for a mini than flies and other biting insects buzzing around and nipping on its face and legs?

Fly Repellents & Sprays
Flies and other pests can cause a great deal of pain and irritation with their bites. One way to help alleviate this problem is using fly repellents designed specifically for horses. Horse fly sprays, baits, and spot-on treatments can help decrease the number of flies and larvae in your stable or pasture.
