Abstract
A net is adapted to wrap around the front legs of a horse to prevent flies and other insects from alighting thereon. The net can be an elongated rectangular panel of fiberglass netting attachable to the horse's legs by means of one or more strips of hook and loop material, such as VELCRO. The net can be secured just above the horse's knee joint and the remainder can hang down to a point just above the hoof. The net can be applied or removed easily and quickly, and once in position, the net should not inhibit the movement of the horse in any way.
