FAQs

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

Its primary purpose is to provide protection for horses against flies, insects, and sun exposure during the warmer months, ensuring their comfort and well-being.

How much UV protection does this fly sheet offer?

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

Can the neck cover be removed?

No, the neck cover is integrated into the sheet and cannot be removed.

What is the lining material at the mane and shoulders, and why is it important?

The lining is a smooth 210T material. It is important because it helps to reduce friction and prevent rubbing, thus maintaining the horse's coat condition and shine.

Are the leg straps adjustable or removable?

Yes, the leg straps are both adjustable and removable, allowing for a customized fit and security.

Is this fly sheet suitable for all weather conditions?

This fly sheet is designed for warm weather. While it is made of breathable mesh, it may be too warm for horses in very hot and humid conditions without adequate airflow.

How should I clean the fly sheet?

You can brush off loose dirt and then machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Rinse thoroughly and air dry. Do not tumble dry.

Troubleshooting

Rug is slipping or shifting

Check that the front closures, surcingles, and leg straps are fastened securely and adjusted correctly for a snug fit. Ensure the rug size is appropriate for your horse.

Rubbing at the mane or shoulders

Verify that the 210T lining is correctly positioned. Ensure the front closures are not overtightened. If rubbing persists, consider a different rug style or a conditioning product for the mane.

Horse seems uncomfortable or too hot

Ensure the rug is made of breathable mesh and is not excessively tight. In very high temperatures, consider if a fly mask alone might be sufficient, or if the horse needs a break from the rug. Remove the leg straps if they are not essential for stability.

Mesh appears torn or damaged

Inspect the rug regularly for tears. Minor tears can sometimes be repaired with specialized fabric patches or stitching. For significant damage, replacement may be necessary.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Provides excellent airflow and keeps horses cool.
Offers comprehensive protection against flies, insects, and sun.
Reduces rubbing and maintains coat condition with smooth lining.
Features an adjustable and secure fit system.
Allows for natural movement with well-placed gussets and surcingles.

Cons

May require careful fitting to prevent slipping or discomfort.
Durability may vary with very rough pasture use.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

Ensure the rug is the correct size for your horse. Refer to sizing charts if unsure.
Unfold the rug and place it gently over your horse's back.
Secure the twin buckle front closure with touch tape, adjusting for a snug but comfortable fit.
Fasten the low cross surcingles, ensuring they are snug enough to prevent the rug from shifting but not overly tight.
Attach the adjustable and removable leg straps, passing them through the hind legs and securing them to prevent the rug from being pulled back.

Compatibility:

This fly sheet is designed for general horse turnout. It is compatible with most standard horse tack and accessories. It is best suited for use in warm weather conditions when flies and sun exposure are a concern.

Care:

To maintain the longevity and effectiveness of the fly sheet:

Brush off loose dirt and mud after each use.
For deeper cleaning, machine wash on a cool, gentle cycle with a mild detergent.
Rinse thoroughly.
Allow the rug to air dry completely. Do not tumble dry or use high heat, as this can damage the fabric.
Store in a dry place when not in use.
