Hi Karleen -
I just wanted to drop a line to you to let you know how much my horses enjoyed the sanctity of their fly-free run in sheds this past season.
It was so nice to buy a product that was all set to install in an easy fashion. And it WORKED beautifully.
You were absolutely correct when you said that all of the horses would go in and out confidently. My youngest horse, a very curious Egyptian Arabian, lead the way and all of the others quickly followed.
The fabric is very horse friendly and after an entire season of use of several of our sheds, I can honestly say it is probably the only item on the farm that is still in its original condition! The wind whipped it, the horses passed by it several times a day, and when I took the flynets down for the winter, they were in the same condition as when I installed them.
It amazes me that the fabric is so sturdy and yet the horses can see through it. They really like going into their sheds and getting away from the mosquitoes and green heads which can terrorize them during the day. When all is "safe" they let themselves back outside and can enjoy the pastures without any of the farm hands needing to let them out on a schedule.
I sure am glad that I saw your ad!
I am having a few more sheds built next summer and you can be sure that the first thing I order will be more flynets.
Continued good luck with your very affordable and successful product.
