Re: [RC] [RC] Attack of the killer horse flies - Nancy MittsActually Cashel makes "Bug Armor", a 2 piece mesh outfit that ties to your bridle and saddle. The front piece coveres the neck and chest and the rear covers the sides and rump. It's the same material as their "quiet ride" mask.Nancy Mitts Stablegear Tack http:/www.ciwtrailers.com From: j marshall <jen4marshall@xxxxxxxxx> Just to clarify... the horse flies were about the size of a quarter and the swarm more than seven. They would stick like glue leaving a small trail of blood after I whacked the ones off I could reach. I felt bad because my poor horse had no idea why I kept smacking him. Maybe I should invest in some medieval horse armor. _________________________________________________________________ MSN 9 Dial-up Internet Access fights spam and pop-ups ? now 3 months FREE! http://join.msn.click-url.com/go/onm00200361ave/direct/01/ ============================================================ There must be a full understanding between the horse and rider for entry into the top competition brackets. There must be a confidence established that the desired position is attainable. There must be a caring for the horse, on the part of the owner, so as to not exceed the physical limits in the heat of competition. There must be a well planned training program that will result in the necessary equine attributes. ~ Bob Morris ridecamp.net information: http://www.endurance.net/ridecamp/ ============================================================
