Fly masks

"Really pleased with the mask for my horse, he's pleased with it as well. One of the girls in the stables is now calling him Mr. Burberry"

"This is a well-fitting, easy to use fly mask which features a nice fluffy edge for comfort.  The protection is excellent - the flies stayed away - and the quality seems good.."
Vittoria Pannizon, Tried & Tested review in Eventing Magazine, July 2013

"I've found the Kensington fly mask to be very hard wearing, and it shows little sign of wear after a month.  The velcro is extremely good - to date the mask hasn't come off.  I did still use a sun cream at the end of my mare's nose, but I have had no issues with flies or midges in her ears whereas last year she was bitten in this area till she bled!"

Fly boots

"For the horses who were turned out, these boots definitely seem to keep their legs insect free and they also provided some leg protection, making them a sensible alternative to normal boots in hot weather, which can make the legs sweat.  The fastenings and comfort provided to the horse can't be faulted.  Defintely worth giving a go and great value for money"

"Kensington mesh leg wraps for fly protection. The pair I have is being used for the third fly season and still in good shape"

"As far as flies go I highly recommend the Kensington fly boots. Estella hates boots but loves those.  She doesn't stomp anymore and they stay on really well but aren't hot Get a pair!!
