Add this one to your anti-insect horse arsenal: Horseware Ireland has teamed up with Buzz Off Insect Shield, LLC, to introduce the Buzz Blocker Amigo Bug Buster, an insect-repellent fly sheet. Although odorless and colorless, the horse blanket’s active insect-repelling ingredient (permethrin, a synthetic version of a repellent derived from chrysanthemums) is bound to the sheet’s fabric fibers, and is EPA-registered to repel mosquitoes, ticks, and flies. The repellent won’t rub off on you or your horse and remains effective through numerous washings, says the maker. A built-in belly band and removable neck cover offer added protection. Available in sizes 66 through 84 inches, in silver with navy binding.

Cost: $150.
