As the seasons shift Spring brings transeasonal weather that can be tricky. Mornings are crisp, afternoons are warm, and there’s always the chance of a sudden rain shower. For us horse owners we face a familiar challenge — what blanket (if any) does your horse need? Making the right choice not only keeps your horse comfortable and protected from changing conditions, it allows you can go about your day without having to worry about continuously changing your horse's blankets.
At Aloga Equestrian, we understand the demands of transeasonal care. That’s why we’re excited to introduce our much-loved Aloga Fly Dry Sheet, now available in a sleek new Silver/Navy colorway — a perfect blend of functionality and style.
Why Choose the Aloga Fly Dry Sheet?
The Aloga Fly Dry Sheet is designed specifically for those in-between seasons when your horse needs lightweight protection without overheating. Here’s why it’s the perfect choice for Spring:
- Breathable yet Protective: The Fly Dry Sheet combines a lightweight, highly breathable water-resistant top section while the side sections are constructed from breathable knitted polyester mesh. Constructed from 600D polyester ripstop, this top section shields your horse’s back & quarters from sudden spring showers, while allowing heat and moisture to escape, preventing they from overheating.
- Fly Protection: As temperatures rise, so do the fly populations. The Fly Dry Sheet acts as an effective barrier against biting insects, on their body, sides and neck.
- Comfortable Fit: Crafted with Aloga’s signature ergonomic design, the sheet offers freedom of movement without rubbing or slipping, even as your horse plays, grazes, and stretches. A detachable hood comes as standard which also combines 600D polyester ripstop waterproof & breathable top section with knitted polyester sides. It can be added or removed depending on your horses individual needs.
- Stylish New Colour: The new Silver/Navy colourway isn’t just practical — this light body colour helps reflect sunlight and reduce the amount of heat absorbed by the blanket or your horse’s body.
The Perfect Pair: Aloga Fly Mask in Matching Grey
To complete your horse’s Springtime protection, pair the Fly Dry Sheet with the Aloga Fly Mask now available in matching grey. This ultra-comfortable, lightweight mask offers excellent eye and ear protection without sacrificing visibility or breathability. Together, the Fly Dry Sheet and Fly Mask provide a seamless layer of defense against flies, UV rays, and the unpredictable Spring weather.
Tips for Transeasonal Horse Care
Smart Layering: Always check the forecast and be ready to adjust your horse’s blankets if needed. Cool mornings may call for a lightweight sheet that can easily handle rising temperatures throughout the day. Opt for a lightweight turnout in 0g like the Aloga Turnout Blanket.
Protect from Insects Early: Flies often emerge before we expect them. Starting fly protection early with sheets and masks prevent irritation and health issues before they start. Add a layer of Fly Spray over your horse's blanket and to their tail before turnout. We love the Carr & Day & Martin Flygard Protector.
Monitor for Sweating: Over-blanketing can cause sweating, which may lead to chills once temperatures drop again. Breathable sheets like the Fly Dry Sheet help reduce this risk.
The new Aloga Fly Dry Sheet in Silver/Navy and the matching Fly Mask are now available. Keep your horse protected, comfortable, and looking their best as we transition into the warmer months.
