I would love to give them some relief and this sounds great. You don't think the fringes aggravate them at all? Surely it would be less than fly bites. Wonderful. Thank you so much.

Although it doesn't keep the bugs from getting in her ears it does a great job for her eyes.<br /> We use ours for trail rides. I have a "white" one for my horse and the cords are made out of rope. Since it's a dirty white now, it matches my dirty white horse perfectly and it almost looks like she has really long dreadlock mane--very fashionable indeed!! I just love watching it swing when she walks along bobbing her head.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4771557388430184941.post-13364108609742901932010-09-20T10:42:09.906-06:002010-09-20T10:42:09.906-06:00I've never seen those!
