I've just spent five mins chasing Peds round the field to get his fly sheet on!!!
That's me had my excersise for the day!

Poor wee mite was then chased away from the haynets by his gf! Only max of two more weeks and they will be on summer grass (need to wait until I get more electric fence posts so I can split it as waaaay too much grass for my two! But it will be good to be able to rotate it so we won't run out!)
I went through a stage of not using fly rugs. BIG mistake. It may have happened anyway at some point but I will always blame myself for Joe's demise. He was turned out one hot sunny day and instead of wearing a fly rug he was naked. I looked out the window and realised he had not moved for some time. Went downstairs and out the front garden and he was stood rigid, lame and sweating profusely. I think he had run and run to escape them and ended up snapping his suspensory. He had prev damaged it four times, but it had healed - or so we thought. Only that morning OH had ridden him with no problems. Could have just been bad luck, I'll never know but from now on, my two wear their fly rugs the moment the nasty beggars arrive here.
That sounds awful to go thru. Its one of those things you beat yourself up over but never really know.
