Amy,

 

 I tried the fly sheet last year....HORRIBLE.  I have one horse, Aries, that the flies just LOVE to eat.

Each year, they literally eat holes in her back.  So, I have to keep her up all summer.  So, I tried the fly

sheet, and guess what happened.  The darned flies got under the sheet and still bit her.  In fact, they crawled

wherever on the poor horse they wanted and really chowed down.  I didn't know it until I saw these big spots

of blood on the sheet and got to looking.

 

No luck here with the sheet.
