Fly Boots for Horses
Biting flies and insects can cause significant discomfort for horses, leading to excessive stomping, irritation, and even injury. Fly boots for horses offer an effective physical barrier against pests such as horse flies, deer flies, mosquitoes, and gnats. These boots help protect your horse from skin irritation and stress caused by insects, while also reducing the risk of hoof damage related to constant stomping. Choose from a few different styles including:
- Fitted horse fly boots: Made to fit snugly all over, like a sock, these often have multiple hook-and-loop fasteners for a custom, wrap-like fit
- Loose horse fly boots: These fit more like gaiters, with a snug fit at the top and bottom but looseness everywhere else—may help prevent skin irritation
- Funnel-style fly boots: One of the most popular designs, these are narrower at the bottom near the hoof and flare out at the top. This shape helps prevent binding and rubbing around the leg while still providing a secure barrier against pests
Great for use during turnout, in the stall, during transit, and more, the best horse fly boots are made of lightweight, durable mesh that releases moisture and lets the skin breathe. You can find horse fly boots in a variety of lengths and styles at Chewy—your horse will thank you for the biting insect relief!
