Classic Equine Cashel Fly Durable Soft Nylon Horse Leg Guard Blue

Cashel Fly Leg Guards are a LIFESAVER!!! My 35 year old gelding is sensitive to the bugs. Last summer they started making sores on his legs. These guards are so easy to apply and comfortable to wear. He wore them all summer, just removing to clean them every so often. They held up super well. Great product awesome company, love their fly masks too. My guy wears the long one which covers the nose. Thank you, Cashel! With love and lots of gratitude, Maia

I have a gelding with 4 stockings who won't stomp the flies, so he gets bitten up so badly he has bloody legs and swarms of flies come back. I've tried other fly boots that worked to stop flies, but by morning after a night of turnout, they had slunk down all the way and weren't so effective. These stay put!! The contour around the bone helps keep them in place and I haven't had a single problem. I was hesitant at first because I was worried the stiffer material (which keeps them standing up) would cause rubs, but we're good so far!! Would definitely recommend these to anyone with a horse who needs fly boots as bad as mine. Love the color options too :)

I have been using these fly boots since 2018. My horse absolutely hates flies and was quickly loosening her shoes from stomping so much. These are now something we just can't live without! These fly boots stay put and hold up pretty well. I originally bought the WB size due to my horse's height but they were a little too big on the front. She wears bell boots so that helped keep them up. I eventually got a second smaller set and used the WB size ones on the back. I have just replaced that original set of WB size boots this summer. My horse wears these 24/7 from May to October. I got two and a half summers out of the front set that I bought in 2019. My favorite thing about these is that they come down over the top of the hoof. My horse has scratches over a large portion of her hind coronet bands and pasterns and these boots cover the area well. They are lightweight and don't seem to over heat her legs even in the hottest weather. They only have minimal lining in the fetlock area to prevent rubbing and the rest is mesh.

I've had these for over a year, and they still look brand new. I hose them off after each use, and throw them in my washing machine at the end of the season, super easy to take care of. They are easy to put on, and actually stay on/up. I have had no issues with these slipping or moving around, both in turnout and in the barn. They are super lightweight and breathable, so there's no worry about the legs overheating. I have a size large, and they fit the front legs of both of my nearly 17hh TB's and my stocky 15hh Quarter Horse.

The flies drive my horse crazy, but I have never tried fly boots, because the ones I've seen on the horses at our barn look uncomfortable and inefficient. My trainer suggested I try some, so I checked out what Smartpak carries. I was attracted to the Cashel guards because of the way they are fitted around the hoof & pastern. We always use Cashel fly masks, so I trusted the quality. They are easy to put on & adjust, they stay up, and my horse must find them comfortable because she doesn't even seem to notice that they are on. Yay! I've had them only a month, but durability wise, so far, so good.

These are the best fly boots available in the US. I bought "horse" size for a 16HH Appendix QH, and the fit is correct. What I like about the product is that it does not have boning (a plastic strip down the back to hold the boot up. The models with boning break apart and the plastic strip pokes out). Instead, this boot is designed better. It's two cylinders sewn together: a narrower one for the cannon area and a larger one for the fetlock/pastern area. All boots should be designed this way! My horse wears the boots 24/7 and lives outside. It is very hot and humid here (MD, USA), and he does well in them. After wearing them for weeks, he did develop mild rubs spots. However, I typically alternate these with the Smartpak Relaxed Fly Boot (big mesh tube) which also are great. When alternating (every week or so), I have no problem with rubbing. When I left them on without changing them for 2 weeks, he got some rub areas (not bad). I think that these are the best fly boots on the market in the US.

These arrived and I was thrilled. They worked amazingly, for a short time. Two out of the four purchased frayed and became useless. I don't like writing negative reviews, as I tend to keep them to myself. However, I thought you guys should know. Not as durable as they claimed. Never purchased fly guards before, but Cashel is a well known brand so I fig, why not. Sorry guys, love ya, it this one sadly missed the boat for me......sigh!

Does not fit. Ordered draft size. Would fit thick legged thoroughbred but not a draft. If you own a Belgian, Percheron, or other draft, these will not fit.

The boots I bought were labeled draft but didn't fit my Belgian at all so I put them on my Percheron who is more warm blood size. They slid down after 2 days and wrinkled and bunched up on her pastern rubbing sores on them which I now have to fight to heal because the flys I was trying to avoid keep chewing on. Total waste of money

I bought 4 pair of these for my horses and while I like the look and design of these boots, they completely tore apart within the first week. So I washed them and sewed them back together but they are trashed again and too ripped to be able to sew them up again. $26.99 for less than two weeks of use is a horrible waste of money and effort. My horses are usually NOT hard on fly boots so I blame Cashel for selling a poor product.
