FAQs

What is the primary purpose of the WeatherBeeta ComFiTec Tyro Fly Sheet Combo?

Its primary purpose is to protect horses from flies, biting insects, and harmful UV rays during warm weather, while also ensuring comfort through breathability.

Can this fly sheet be used in the rain?

No, this fly sheet is made of a breathable mesh and is not waterproof. It is designed for protection against insects and sun, not for wet weather.

How do I determine the correct size for my horse?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, which typically measures from the center of the chest to the rear of the hindquarters. Ensure a snug but not tight fit.

Will the lining cause my horse's coat to get hot?

The lining is designed to be smooth and reduce friction, and it's integrated into a breathable mesh overall structure, which helps manage heat and airflow.

How much UV protection does this sheet offer?

The sheet provides over 75% UV protection, helping to shield your horse from the sun's harmful rays.

What should I do if the sheet rubs my horse's mane?

Ensure the sheet is the correct size and that the mane is smoothed down before applying. The smooth lining is designed to minimize rubbing, but a poor fit can still cause issues.

Can this sheet be used in the stable?

Yes, it can be used in the stable during the day if your horse needs protection from flies or sun, provided it doesn't pose a snagging risk.

Troubleshooting

Sheet slips to one side

Ensure the tail cord is securely fastened and adjusted appropriately. Check that the front closures are snug and correctly aligned.

Rubbing on mane or shoulders

Verify the sheet size is correct and not too tight. Ensure the lining is lying flat and not twisted. Smooth the mane before putting the sheet on.

Horse appears uncomfortable or hot

Confirm the sheet is the correct size and allowing adequate airflow. Ensure it's not too tight around the chest or neck. Check for any debris caught in the mesh.

Damage to the mesh (rips or tears)

Inspect the sheet regularly for wear and tear. Small tears can sometimes be mended with appropriate fabric repair kits. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Excellent ventilation keeps horses cool.
  • Reduces irritation from flies and biting insects.
  • Provides significant UV protection.
  • Comfortable lining prevents rubbing.
  • Secure fit with adjustable closures.

Cons

  • Not designed for significant rain protection.
  • May not be suitable for horses prone to excessive chewing.
  • Open weave could be vulnerable to very sharp objects.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup:

  1. Ensure the sheet is the correct size for your horse. Consult sizing charts if unsure.
  2. Gently place the sheet over your horse, ensuring the mane and shoulders are not bunched up.
  3. Fasten the twin buckle front closure, adjusting the touch tape for a snug but not overly tight fit. The fit should allow for two fingers between the chest and the closure.
  4. Secure the adjustable web tail cord, ensuring it is taut enough to keep the sheet in place but not restrictive.

Compatibility:

This fly sheet is designed for use on horses in pasture or stable environments during warm weather. It is compatible with standard horse tack and is intended to be worn directly over the horse's coat. It is not designed to be layered with other blankets for warmth.

Care:

  • Cleaning: Hand wash or machine wash on a gentle cycle with cold water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly. Do not bleach.
  • Drying: Air dry only. Do not tumble dry. Hang the sheet to dry out of direct sunlight to preserve its material and UV protection.
  • Storage: Store in a clean, dry place when not in use. Ensure it is completely dry before storing to prevent mold or mildew.
