They are best for horses and ponies turned out in fly-heavy or sunny paddocks, and for horses that stamp constantly in summer - behaviour that can damage hooves and soft tissues.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThe guards are made from the same mesh fabric as the Crusader pasture fly mask, contoured to fit the leg and fitted with a plastic stay so they hold their shape instead of sagging. Compared with fleece-lined wraps, the soft vinyl trim helps prevent burrs and grass seeds collecting in the edges, so they stay easier to maintain between rides.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eKey Features\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cul\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFly and sun protection:\u003c\/strong\u003e covers the lower leg and pastern to reduce insect bites, irritation and sun exposure\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eDurable mesh construction:\u003c\/strong\u003e the same fabric used on the Crusader pasture fly mask\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePlastic stay:\u003c\/strong\u003e contoured shape that resists sagging and slipping in the field\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eElastic and Velcro closures:\u003c\/strong\u003e adjustable and non-binding, so the guards stay put\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSoft vinyl trim:\u003c\/strong\u003e minimises burr and grass seed build-up\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCalmer movement:\u003c\/strong\u003e less biting means less stamping and less insect-induced stress\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSupplied as a pair\u003c\/strong\u003e in grey mesh with grey trim, with more sizes available\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ul\u003e \u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003ctable\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eBrand\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eCashel\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eProduct type\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eMesh fly and sun leg guards\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eMaterial\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eDurable mesh with soft vinyl trim\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSupport\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eFixed plastic stay to prevent sagging\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eClosure\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eElastic sewn to Velcro\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eColour\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eGrey mesh with grey trim\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSize (Small Pony)\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eTop 19cm, Bottom 21cm, Length 19.5cm\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eSizes available\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eAdditional sizes via dropdown\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eQuantity\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eOne pair\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003ctr\u003e\n\u003cth\u003eCountry of origin\u003c\/th\u003e\n\u003ctd\u003eUSA\u003c\/td\u003e\n\u003c\/tr\u003e \u003c\/table\u003e \u003ch3\u003eHow to Use\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003col\u003e \u003cli\u003eMeasure the circumference of the leg at the top and just above the pastern, then match those figures to the size measurements listed.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eBrush the legs clean and dry so no grit is trapped under the mesh.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eWrap the guard around the lower leg with the contoured shape following the leg and the plastic stay lying flat.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eFasten the elastic and Velcro closures snugly but not tightly - you should slide a finger under the edge.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eCheck the fit after the first hour of turnout and adjust if the guard has crept down.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003cli\u003eRemove daily, shake off dust and mud, and inspect the legs for rubs or heat.\u003c\/li\u003e \u003c\/ol\u003e \u003cp\u003eBuilding a full summer fly kit?
