Yep Linda, four years later I still have my lad in his generally all summer only off for the odd period to let his head breathe every day or so while I'm at the field. Can't be there early morning and late at night to put on take off after midge hell so has it stay on all night . I'm in perthshire as well so have good old Scottish flies on the loose. My horse is also on his own now and while I worry about him being less relaxed, he seems totally unfazed. Apart from last Thursday night when I rocked up at midnight with a head torch after I'd been to a wedding. Lots of snorts until I announced myself, but then that could have been the fact I was wearing a dress lol.
